Well, manuscripts are returning, all inked up with other people's comments. I think day and night about this book getting published.

I'm not writing much. I wrote the first third of a screenplay and then... stopped. I want to finish this novel and start on the next. I'm already getting to know the protagonist of the next book. He's a long-limbed, nervous fellow haunting the corridors of my brain. I'm excited to work with him.
