Today is an in-between day. I'm in between so many things that I don't know whether I"m coming or going, up or down, here or there. This probably means that I'm a bit all over. I'm spread everywhere.

In an ideal world, this would mean that, being spread thin, I was slender, but I'm still my roundabout self. My printer has finally decided to work, so this world may not be ideal, but it's currently almost functional.


PS We have interesting weather, in case you're wondering about hiccups in my writing. My editing is going very, very slowly.

Tonight I'm in updating mode. Most of the short courses I'll be teaching later in the year are now open for bookings - almost all of them are in Canberra and one is in Sydney. Two of them start in August, so I won't be around to remind everyone. The first (Magic and myth: from the Middle Ages to the 19th century - at the ANU) will be pure fun and the second (Page Perfect: Grammar, Punctuation and Presentation, at the NSW Writers' Centre in Rozelle) purely useful. I'll do another post in August or September, telling you about other courses.

While I'm reminding people of things, you might want to take a look at (if you haven't already) an impressive interview I did with Kaaron Warren. One day I need to find someone who wants to publish the English original. Cristian Tamas is responsible for this translation and also for dealing with any bad jokes I might have made in emails.

Is there anything else you want me to tell you about or remind you of? If there isn't, I might have run out of reasons to procrastinate. Ten more pages of editing before my next break! (Instead of background music, I have X-Men on TV. If it influences the novel, then there will be mutants in Languedoc in 1305.)
