Today

Exercised, 'Audited', didn't write.

Not going to whinge and moan, but today was not a good day.

Still, not the worst day I've ever had.

this not what I do; it's wrong kind of place to be thinking of you

The duellist of Alusind is pushing up to 13.5K.

Slow progress: I've just written a fight in a graveyard with a not-a-zombie, and presently believe I need to start introducing the politics. Which is going to be iffy, since I as yet have no POVs in situations where politics would be commonplaces of discussion.

Good news: the college newspaper, the University Record - the arts and culture editor for next year has pretty solidly confirmed he'll let me do a novel review column next year.

12,000 students. 1,200 staff. Journalism-type portfolio credit.

I am restraining myself from many exclamation marks(!). Yes, I'm that thrilled.

What books are coming out in September, October, November and December (and January, February, March and April 2008) which university students should be subjected to my opinions about?

I should maybe make a list?

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet...

I'm just now wondering...

Would it be an abuse of my shiny new status as an official college newspaper book reviewer type person to ask and annoy publishing company publicity departments for advance review copies, do you think?

I've never done this type of thing before, you see. So advice would be very much welcomed.
