Damn. I missed yesterday, didn't I? Ah, well. Yesterday was a pretty missable day. I spent part of it trying to find VNV Nation's Futureperfect, which, being as how this is Birmingham, was a fool's errand. I'll pick it up in Atlanta tonight.
Yesterday was yet another grey day. So is today. Some pointless, sprinkly rain. It's getting monotonous.
If you're interested in my comics work, check out the new interview concerning my forthcoming Vertigo mini-series, Bast: Eternity Game, at COMICON.com PULSE.
I decided, on Tuesday, to hold off on the line-editing of Low Red Moon until the editorial letter comes from Roc (for the uninitiated, the editorial letter is generally a list of suggestions for revisions from the editor). I'll just wind up doing it again anyway. So, what I still have to do is all the continuity work. Most of Tuesday was spent just trying to get the timeline right. About three-quarters of the way through the book, I decided that it should all be going on late in October, not early in October, but was too driven to finish to go back then and move everything forward. So now I'm retrofitting, and it's a pain in the ass. It took about two hours to figure out that the novel begins on Thursday, October 25th, 2001, and ends on Thursday, November 1. This sticks to the pattern set forth in my earlier novels, which also occur over the space of only a week or two. Silk is set sometime between 1992-1994 (I was never really clear) and Threshold is during the summer of 2000.
I'm going to go brush my teeth and try to be useful.
