Blurred Line

Just to let you know what I've been doing with myself lately, as regards writing: First off is the question over what to do at Apodis after Goodbye, Darwin is complete (which won't be for another few months, at least). Anyhow, I'm planning to do at least one more anthology, for this reason: when I got the ISBN for Blurred Line, I also got one for Glistening Edges and Right Angles. Unfortunately, the sequel to BL is no longer going to be called that, but it does me no good to have an ISBN laying around and doing nothing, so my thought is to use GERA as a title for the next Apodis anthology. Also, there are some very tentative plans for a regionally specific anthology, but that wouldn't come into play until late Q4 2006, or sometime in early 2007.

As far as my own writing goes, Mass Romantic is coming along nicely. I've finally nailed down a few plot points and done a lot of work on my outline. The plot is becoming downright Shakespeare (actually, it's paralleling a specific Shakespeare play), although it's more along the lines of a Shakespeare play had it been written by Chuck Palahniuk. And yes, I do mean to insinuate that I am better than both Palahniuk and Shakespeare. Both of them combined, actually. Thanks for asking.

As for short stuff, there's two projects in the works. The first, like Mass Romantic, is another piece inspired by music, this one by the Sam Roberts song "The Gate". It's a literary SF piece, as it has no real plot, just a couple of guys "finding themselves" amidst the technological wasteland of mankind's first terraformed world. Story number two is one for the Myspace generation - it's all about social networking via the net, pop-up ads and usergroups - so, basically, it's my riff on a Cory Doctorow story. Anyhow, it features Zan, who some of you might remember from "Between Eternities".

And, on a largely unrelated tangent, here's a fairly interesting interview with James Patrick Kelly.
