I would scream if I had the time
May. 8th, 2008 08:16 pmSorry I haven't been all that entertaining lately here on the ole LJ. It's the end of the semester and I'm currently hip deep in finals. In other words, I'm spending all of my time ruining students' lives grading students' papers. This will all be over in another week, at which I hope to be back to normal, with some time to spare. Or as normal as I ever get anyway.
In the meantime, squeezing in an hour here or there, I managed to finish off chapter 19 of the work in progress, aptly titled "Well of Sorrows". I'll post a word count meter at the end of the post, so you can see how out of control this sucker has gotten.
And in other news, an interview with me has been posted at R. Schuyler Devin's blog. I met Mr. Devin at Norwescon, where he asked if I'd be willing to participate in his 6-sided interview at his blog. Of course I said yes. So go check it out. You can mock all of my answers to the question about what books/movies/etc I feel are modern classics. (I hate those types of questions; you'll see why at the interview.) Since I suck at that type of question, I figured I'd throw it out to all of you: What books/movies/TV shows in the SF and Fantasy genre do you consider "modern classics"? And by modern, let's say that had to have been released or on TV within the last 10 years. I'd be interested in what everyone has to say (since we recently had the "must haves" of 80s moviedom discussion here). I'm sure I missed something important and completely obvious in my answer.
And now, here's the word meter for the current update on the writing project from hell. Hopefully, I'll be back to more regular posts in another week.
