The day is fast being consumed by busyness — contracts that have to be read and signed, cons and websites and publishers who all need bios and photos, stuff that I need to proofread for publicity people at Penguin, etc. All that stuff that isn't writing. And I have Marvel at 3 p.m., so I may not make it back to Daughter of Hounds today. I didn't even let this stuff pile up. It just all landed on me, plop, pretty much at once. And it cares not that a frelling book needs to be writen.
The writing went well yesterday, though I cannot yet disclose what I wrote. The "thing" for Marvel Comics.
In case you've not yet seen the first photographic evidence of an extrasolar planet, here it is:
Approximately 400 light-years from Earth, this massive planet (b) orbits a very young star (a), GQ Lupi, somewhere on the order of a million years old (our star, the Sun, is about 4.6 billion years old).
And a big thanks to the people on my phorum for the ost from Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. It just arrived in the mail this morning. You guys rawk!
