Time short, work high

Much work has been happening behind the scenes around here. The classic time vampire of moving house has courted the new evil of internet starvation to produce something of a fallow season. It’s summer. It’s freaking hot. Given a choice between writing a blog post by tethered phone (the equivalent of candlelight), unpacking boxes, or sodding off to the nearest pool, you know which I’m choosing. And I’m taking a beer with me.

Despite the languid atmosphere, actual new writing is taking place, though perhaps a step away from what I’m used to. A new novel is on the drawing board as is a non-fiction project. This year is already shaping up to demand more than 2009′s frenzied pace and I welcome it. Just let me put the air conditioner on for a bit.
