So What's Doing?

[stellar]

Hi guys,

I've been checking this forum a couple of times a week for the last month and I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING HAPPENING!

So what's doing in your world?

OK Stellar you asked for it

Here's a list of my current projects:

Chaos Space due out in November.
Mirror Space deadline Dec 5th (working intensely on).
Unamed novel - crime/para/funny/romance set in Perth finished and about to go to my agent.
Burn Bright - teen/dark/gothic/sf/fantasy - about to go out to publishers
Stalking Daylight - SF film project has finally reached option stage and about to send out a media release.
Nothing Sweet About Me (working title for an anthology I'm editing with Lynne Jamneck) - para/adv/sexy all stories set in Australia with strong female protags. With agent and I hope about to go out to pubs. I will have a novella in this.
? Space - final Sentients book due next Dec.

So I hope what all this means is that in the next few years I'm going to have a swag of stuff on the shelves.

So stay tuned guys, I promise I haven't been slacking. The fourth Parrish book will come after Sentients is finished.

YAY PERTH! I knew you were Perth-spawn, Marianne. It's just nice to see my place of residence in fiction.

Me: I lost my job of three years in February and ever since have been working a get-you-by job for a group that sells mobiles and telecoms in business space. I have also been painting and telling a lot of jokes to people who will listen. I aim to take a three month holiday next year to head back to England and check out some family roots. I have also been teaching myself White Mice's Fantastic Battles.

What I'd like to be doing: Writing something I am not going to lose interest in, telling jokes for a living and playing with shares to supplement my income.

My turn! Sad that I'm doing this from Canberra not Melbourne but that's the Navy's fault.

Working really weird hours since I finished my training and moved up here. But it gives me lots of time for doing my own thing.
Putting together two submissions for a Canberra writers guild anthology that's coming out. Need to get them critted though.

Still trying to get this book together, writing about a chapter a month at the moment and I'm not happy with that.
Some friends are pressuring me to start a comic, it might happen but I just end up reading Jhonen Vasquez stuff and getting sidetracked.

And waiting for M's new stuff to come out. I keep going back to her old stuff and wanting more.
