So I will leave you with this, because it’s awesome. It also neatly sums up my views on life:

Well…except for the Fancy Feast part.

Scott Sigler, one of my favorite authors, has announced his tailgate tour. You can check it out right here. The tour is to promote his book The Rookie. What’s The Rookie? It’s American Football with aliens, humans and what can only be described as a very loose set of safety regulations.

Sticking to his tradition of general awesomeness, Sigler has posted a free podcast of The Rookie in its entirety on his site.

Pride and Wordcount

I used to hold myself to 1000 words per day, or at least I tried to, but I stopped when I realised I was producing 1000 words a day of writing so bad it was hard to rewrite. Now I try to write something every day, even if it’s not on my main project. Sticking to this has been easier, and sometimes I get lucky and get 2000 words on the main project all in one hit.

I just completed 1500 words on chapter three of The Shadow Library and its actually going pretty well. I usually don’t get a really good idea of the final product until edit two, but this is coming along quite well.

Still, time for sleeping.
