Anyone heard from Steve?
I think Chunk Wendig and Agent Pete are on the same wavelength: A quote:
"Writing is a delivery system."
Wendig, Chuck. Damn Fine Story (p. 4). Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
I'm revisiting Michael Crichton's The Lost World (Jurassic Park) and reflecting (after a slow first half), the second half of the book is so full of tension, it's the only book where I've had to stop and have a break because the tension was so damned good.
On Audible this month, if you have a subscription, The Martian by Andy Weir is free. Take advantage while you can.
It's lovely to see all the new full members, especially during this hard time. Welcome aboard again
Hubby just changed our downlights to smart lights in the dining room. I'm having too much fun playing, it's like a disco in here!
Has anyone heard from Carol Rose?
Another stunning 26 degrees today with the doors open. Is it nearly May? Is this Sydney?
Oops, slip of the tongue on Pop Ups today, Peter meant to thank Barbara, not me, for organising Litfest! Thanks again Barbara and Emily
A little tidbit about our guest tonight: I helped Bill a little on Blood in the Dust years ago, well before his book won the Best Unpublished Manuscript for the Wilbur Smith Foundation THEN after publication I learned he is related to my best friend!
I've just joined Camp Nano, if anyone wants to join in
Just watched Pop Ups and "I am Gold" seems the same idea as bestselling "Red Queen".
Someone who is Covid-19 positive has just been arrested for spitting on fresh fruit in a supermarket. She's been caught on camera, it's been taken down but I saw it before that happened. People are awful.
So it's 33 degrees here today, let's hope the heat kills some germs. Normally, I'd have the air conditioning on, but the windows are open and blinds up. Die, virus, die!
A shop worker just got stabbed in Victoria over groceries - we need to self isolate from the idiots!
I've got one super happy, super talkative 15 year old - her braces come off next week
Has everyone noticed there's a new section to our member profiles? We can say our goal, i.e aspiring traditional pub or self published? (among others)
Could I ask Litopians on Twitter a favour? Can you go to @KateESal's profile here: Kate Salisbury (@KateESalisbury) | Twitter. And RT the show's details please? Trying to get the word out...
I'm itching to get back to my keyboard!
We have rain! Just a light sprinkle but it lasted overnight. Hope it reaches the fires still burning across the state
48.9 in parts of Sydney today!
Brandon Sanderson just live tweeted the finish of Book 4 of his Stormlight series. This is his last update:
And...done! "The End" has been typed and Stormlight Book Four is finished. (Rough Draft, at least.) 19k words today, 424k words total. I'm extremely proud of this ending; I hope you all enjoy it when you finally get to read it in eleven months or so.
Happy New Year all! Just off to dinner to celebrate, but it feels wrong after 3 people died in bushfires in the last 48 hours. Hope they cancel Sydney's fireworks. It's just too dangerous.
I'm enjoying Christmas evening listening to Talking with Strangers as recommended by Rev Peter Cox last week on Pop Ups last week. Fascinating.
I love it when I find a book that makes me laugh or smirk and I have to stay up all night to finish it
I should be in bed!
Bushfire smoke like I've never seen blanketed all of Sydney today, like this (you can't even see the water) https://www.abc.net.au/news/image/11724614-16x9-700x394.jpg
The state of NSW is on catastrophic fire alert for the next 2 days. 64 fires across the state; 40 uncontained; 3 deaths. 200 homes destroyed. The smoke is so bad it's travelled to New Zealand (South Island). And we're not alone, a lot of Australia is on alert. -
