¦ dialling in from the sky bunker ¦
13:42, got Zero 7 playing on laptop, the sun is blasting in through the bulkhead blister window. I've only been in for half an hour. Woke up late this morning, around 8.30, struggled to get my head into gear; my own fault: stayed up ridiculously late last night to watch bloody HIGHLANDER. So I bombed down to Coffee#1 and sat in their garden for a couple hours, soaking up rays, supping a large strong coffee, reading through some of Steven Covey's 7 Habits, pondering some Yellow Dawn bits and peices, and feeling pretty chilled. Drifted down to see Hagen. Had a coffee with him at the Blue Lagoon. The bugger has gone and bought all three of my novels; I am mighty pleased. He's reading through Iron Man Project and the moment and he's giving big thumbs up. It's also the first time I've seen the proper cover of Dante's Fool. It looks good. He got me to sign them all.
So coming back via Sainsbury's and a pack of Sushi, I'm feeling human again. Though just had a rejection for a training-role I applied for, in the big company I really want to get into. Bugger.
Yellow Dawn is coming along. Onto page 136 now. I've got around 2 more months to wrap it up, leaving me a month to review and polish it before the launch date: 1st of August 2007, otherwise known as 999.
Had a phone call from Andy C today; really great to hear from him. Realised I've not seen him since November 2005! Anyways, looks like I'll probably catch up with him in a couple weeks when I do a big mission to London.
