The Ides of March!
Mar. 15th, 2010 10:46 amRoyalties are Nice Because, even if they aren't enough to buy me a car, or a yacht, or even a basset puppy - they can buy me Heavy Rain!
What worries me is that NOW (after I receive a copy in the post via ebay) I find out there's a bug in the programme which makes everything go black towards the end of the game and the only fix is to restart from the beginning. Apparently, official figures say its only 1 in 700 copies but what are the odds, eh? This is me we are talking about...
Got to go to the eye specialist this afternoon (god that came around quickly) to see what the "pigment changes at the back of the eye" actually mean. So not looking forward to that. Going blind (OK Yes, worst case scenario, just call me Eeyrore) would pretty much be a disaster any way you slice it. Anyway, let's not be gloomy. Hand me that burst balloon and that empty pot.
It is sunny. I can't describe how much bliss that is. It's been overcast all week with not a peek of sun, and even last week when we had the last sunny day it was bloody freezing. This sun actually has a bit of warmth in it, so perhaps Spring is actually here at last. There are still no daffodils blooming yet, though, they are finally above the ground, but no flowers, still snowdrops (IN MARCH!!!) and brave yellow crocuses. Nothing on the trees at all - I can't remember such a late spring. Yesterday I did see some pussy willow though, but that's all, not a hint of blossom anywhere. Hopefully it will all kick off this week. And yes, I'm talking about the weather. LOL.
I'm taking a break from Jessewave's blog for a couple of months. I have a lot of stuff to sort out, writing wise, personal wise, and I really have difficulty coming up with a subject each week. There are many things I'd like to blog about, but often have to sit on my hands to prevent myself from doing so, as many subjects are a bit ranty, and Wave's blogs isn't really the place for that. I don't know if there's any place for that now, to be honest. I really like the blog, and the readers are friendly and enthusiastic - I'll be back, and I'm very grateful that Wave is saving my spot for when I return.
I'm working on my collection of short stories this morning. I'm not sure whether adding one or two unpublished one is the thing to do - I suppose it is because then it's something new for people? I'll include just about everything I've got, and then the publisher can decide which ones they want to include.
