Matthew S. Rotundo's Pixeltown

The (vastly overrated) Real World reared its ugly head last week, as it is wont to do.  Still, I accomplished a few things:  more Hugo/Nebula reading, some organizing of my office (a project that I expect will last several weeks), and jotting down a few notes on–of all things–time travel.

Hey, I’m a writer and a geek.  We think about these kinds of things from time to time. 

I might get around to posting some of these time travel thoughts, which I found quite interesting and illuminating.  They might not be blazingly original, but they’re at least new to me.  As to whether they will find their way into a story sometime . . . hard to say.  But knowing me, they probably will.

So I’m kind of coasting here lately.  Did you notice?  Yeah.  I’ll settle into some new project soon enough, I figure.

Write Club update:  A personalized note from Tor.com on a short story, with apologies for the lengthy response time (about 10.5 months).

Till next time . . .

The most productive thing I accomplished last week was reading some Hugo- and Nebula-eligible stories.  I’m also mulling several potential new projects.  It’s possible that a short story or two might be forthcoming before I jump into another novel-length work.

You know, given how much trouble I had with writing From Earth I Have Arisen, one would think I’d be sick of this gig for a while.  But I’m only a couple of weeks out from completing that very difficult first draft, and already I kinda miss drafting.  Chalk it up to selective recall or whatever, but seriously–what kind of sick imbecile does that make me?

Oh, right.  A writer.

No updates for Write Club.

I’m out.
