Escape Artists Needs Your Help

So, this year’s metacast just went up. These are shows we put together to update you on how the shows are going, what our plans are, all that stuff.   This one is a little different, because we’re in very serious financial trouble. Like, we will cease to be an active and functional market by …

What I Did In February 2013

The first thing I did in February 2013? Draft this post so I don’t spend three hours at the end of the month building the thing. Usual rules apply, names and titles are usually clickable and the magic word ‘here’ will transport you to my wordspace. Or something. Anyway, first off, this happened! So, a …

NanoJourno Update: Day 15

  The great clearing of outstanding jobs really hit today. Despite the morning being lost to a series of shatteringly frustrating phonecalls with EDF, a company that somehow manage to provide us electricity without actually having us on contract or conducting any form of inter-department communication, I’ve filed six reviews today. They’re all comics I …

NanoJourno Update: Day 12

Light duty today, getting the appendices ready. Each Pseudopod episode ends with a quote and I spent a chunk of today collating them, organizing them and finding out there was one I couldn’t recognize. Oh well, think of it as an extra party game when the book is published and we’ll be fine. Incidentally light …

NanoJourno Update: Day 11

  The third edit pass was today’s job, starting with the terrible stuff in chapter 11 from last night. It wasn’t actually that terrible, although I have shifted some stuff around and, to my continued surprise, taken a lot of things out. I’ve overwritten in several places that I’ve spotted and I suspect several I …

NanoJourno Update: Day 8

  8 days in and the first,’Carve a path through the jungle’ run is done as is the ‘Am I actually deluding myself and this stuff is JUST.AWFUL?’ pass.   I’m not deluding myself.   Aside from one endcap which is rubbish even after two rebuilds and normally I’d be bothered by but here’s the …

NanoJourno Update: Day 7

  Interesting day, as I ended up splitting it between a defense of Lifeforce I’ve been hired to write for sfx.co.uk, and the first edit pass. The first pass was for the first half of the book which is where a couple of the jabberwocky pieces that really need do overs are, but on second …

NanoJourno Update: Day 6

Stage one of the first project is complete. I’ve now revised every one of the 52 endcaps from 2012. A lot have been massively expanded, some more have had the usual boilerplate of an endcap stripped away so they can stand alone and a few have been completely rebuilt. They’re not done, not yet, there’ll …

NanoJourno Update: Day 4

  Day four is done, which takes me out to the end of August and up towards the end of the year.I’m finding three things about this process which are interesting and mildly terrifying by degrees:   -Some of these outros, on average 2 out of 4, are bulletproof. Anything I add to them is …
