It's turning into a real project

[redbird]

A throwaway remark on rassef....and the next thing I knew, I had a collaborator, and a few beginning entries for this maybe-book. And now my collaborator is back from World Fantasy, and at his computer again, and we're sending material back and forth, and figuring out the best way to share a file.

Maybe nothing will come of it. But I went to Paris on this sort of impulse. I studied classical Greek for three years on a moment's impulse, after finding myself in front of a teacher who asked a group of my friends "So who's taking Greek?" and who, when I raised my hand, asked who I was and added me to the list. I started weblogging that way. Maybe it's how I'll write a book, or part of one.

In the meantime, I also found one ad worth sending a resume to this afternoon.

What exactly is the project - are you sharing and I somehow missed it, or are you keeping it under wraps until you get further along?

Not exactly a secret, but I'm not in a mood to talk about it much, in part because I want to write, not talk about writing--we're trying to do an SF equivalent of the Rough Guide to Fantasy. No idea if it's even possible, let alone salable, but we're going to give it our best effort.

Oh, how cool. I shall breathlessly await it, and shan't ask any more questions.
