No Post For A Week! Are You Alive, Dan?

On By Dan HarrisIn Random, WritingLeave a comment

I am! Don’t worry, dear readers. I just haven’t been posting. Lovely wife’s lovely sister came to visit us in Sao Paulo, so we’ve been busy. Took her to Rio de Janeiro for the weekend, too.

We went up here. It was great, but I could have lived without the three hours of queuing.

 

Fun times.

I’ve not been reading, and I’ve not been writing, which has limited the nuggets of bloggy inspiration somewhat. Fear not, though–at the end of this week I should be receiving a shiny, gleaming, edited copy of ASCENSION POINT back from my editor, bedecked in fancy new red lines where before there was just cliched dialogue and over-exposition. And once I get that, you can be damn sure I’ll have a blog about it.

Unsurprise of Day: Review of Chuck Wendig Book Makes Me Want to Read It

On By Dan HarrisIn Reading, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, Writing3 Comments

Chuck Wendig’s recent novel Blackbirds was already on my to-read list, simply because Chuck Wendig wrote it and his blog is one of the best things in digital print.

(If you’re a writer, and you haven’t checked out Chuck’s blog yet, go and do that. From start to finish. I’ll wait.)

Tor.com had a review of Blackbirds this week, and now I want to read it now. Now now now. So thanks, Tor, for making me spend my hard-earned money that I should be saving up for when I quit the day job to be a struggling writer. Thanks.

Also, the cover. Omigod the cover.
