Writer's Diary

Friday, June 17, 2005

I read through A Darker Crimson today. I'll be sending my pre-revisions to CK Sunday eve. Found a couple of other things that really had to be fixed and did so. Busy weekend. Son's birthday party (for kids) 2 soccer games Sunday, but I hope that in between I can bang out a completed first draft of the Paranormal proposal, make another pass through the Sleath paper so I can write to my contact in the UK (Are you laughing, Eric?) for more specific citations, and whip the 1st 3-4 chaps of The Rake into proposal shape, then I have to start working on my syllabus for the class I'm teaching in the Fall. Also, I am seriously hooked on military, FBI, CIA etc books (romances I mean) and I'm trying to figure out why. Partly it's because I'm studying for my Security+ exam, and all that InfoSec stuff is in the news a lot because, it seems, none of the companies that handle financial data seem to have hired an InfoSec person, or if they did, they didn't mean it. "What do you mean we need a new router? What's wrong with the old one?" or maybe it goes like this; "Patches? Patches? We don't need no steenking patches." So, anyway, all this cool stuff about military theory, special operations and InfoSec very neatly dovetails in an intellectually challenging manner that will show up in my writing. Will it stay there, who knows?
