New date format. I’m getting used to the little changes like that. I suppose I have to.

I’ve just more or less signed off (pending formalities like a final proofread) on my latest BW/DR essay, which this time is going to be in the app which you should download and subscribe to right now. $1.99 a month gets you around ten fantastic essays on film that you won’t find anywhere else, accompanied by brilliant illustrations and a gorgeous presentation. There’s also the fact that an active subscription gives you access to every previous issue, so here’s a suggestion: subscribe now, read the two issues that are already on there, and brace yourself for issue 3 next week. Do it for me. Do it for this face.
Book plans! I still have two more stories to write, and two redrafts to do (the big scary major one where I cut paragraphs for being shit and radically rewrite entire sections, and the more conservative one where I go through and pick up on spelling and grammar issues), but it’s close. I can feel it.
So I’m starting to think about formats. I don’t think I’ll go down the special edition route, but there’s going to be a large hardback, pocket paperback, ebook (obviously - without ebooks, I wouldn’t have made any money off my last one) and probably an audiobook. I’m also thinking that I might serialise the audiobook in the form of a podcast, provided there’s interest from one or two people. I’ve been working on this for three years. It deserves a decent payoff.
There’s the occasional thing on the side, too. I’m still podcasting with Casey, tweaking the format and improving steadily, and I’m slowly getting to grips with Twine with future projects in mind. So. Keeping busy.
I dunno. Doing good. I could be a lot worse off at the moment, but I’m busy enough that I’m staying fairly grounded.
