So happy 1/11/11 to all and sundry!
I am very sorry to announce that I have been doing absolutely nothing in the realm of noveling lately. Haven't worked on anything since November and am developing a serious need-a-creative-project twitch, so I've decided to attempt that revision of Whale and the Tree I've been meaning to get around to since, you know, July. Got as far as officially upgrading to Scrivener 2.0 this evening before getting distracted, but that's a start, right?
Just started reading Rosemary Sutcliff's The Lantern Bearers, which is the third of her loosely-connected series of books set in Roman Britain (the first of which, The Eagle of the Ninth, is hitting the big screen next month!!). Finally finished Pegasus, which I had mixed feelings about, and am also partway through Beowulf, which, embarrassingly enough, I've never actually read before. Awaiting an Amazon package that has gotten lost somewhere between Phoenix and Mesa but will hopefully show up soon—it contains my very own copy of StarCrossed, and the fourth Bartimaeus book, which I'm soooooooooo excited to read! I keep meaning to do a "Best of 2010" book list, but I haven't gotten around to it yet…
Here's to a challenging and rewarding 2011!
