A quick note.
Yesterday was spent in Camden, a place I haven’t been to in ages and we are talking years not months. I can’t really understand why as I really like the market a lot and when the sun is out the canal is a great place to walk along. Or – as I used to do – cycle.
I was in Camden for “No Barcodes” a small event set up by London Undergound Comics and featuring, amongst others, my friend Zarina‘s work. Murky Depths were also there and I continued what is fast becoming a tradition of missing Terry (the editor) whom I keep meaning to pop over to say hello to. Ah well, I’m sure it’ll happen eventually. Later on we wandered off to the cinema – you would not win any money for guessing a film review will feature at some point this week.
Today has been spent working on The Woodsman (almost certainly due to undergo yet another title change on completion). I’m pleased to report I’m a little closer to being on track to finish on time having completed the rewrite of the second act and brought my characters back to the correct place. It remains to be seen whether the structural work is as seamless as I hope it is, I’ve written the thing over such a lengthy time period I am concerned the prose is of varying standards. I like to think I’m much improved on when I started this one.
And that’s it. I have to get back to it or I’ll just slip back behind again.
Happy revising! It’s more than half the fun. If you need a reader, let me know . . .

I’m not sure why he’s miserable, it’s a randomly generated one. If you register with wordpress.com you can upload your own image.
It’s funny you said that about Camden as G and I both thought we should take you next time you’re down. When do you want to visit?
Visit when the next No Barcodes is staged. Probably at the end of August and make sure you come over to say hello. I was actually walking around quite a bit on Saturday.
Next No Barcodes is August. Say hello then!
I suspect we just missed each other as I think you’d not long swung by Z’s pitch when I arrived.
Hopefully see you at the next one 🙂
Good luck with The Woodsman. There are few feelings in this world that beat the feeling you get when you finish a story of that length.
Thanks GLP, it’s a nice feeling knowing I’m in the home stretch.
