5.5.05 Self-Publishing Hell v3.0

Why do I do this? WHY? Whatever possessed me to think that self-publishing two 100+ plus anthologies for the same convention was a good idea?

Argh. I hurt.

I am also strangely obsessed with this image.

New SMOKE interview up with Igor and myself at PopImage: "You should also remember that I came to full-time fiction writing fairly late - in my early 30s - and as a result of this my attitude to what I do is pretty uncompromising. In 2003, I was having an annus horribilis similar to the one Igor describes below, and I finally just said, that's it, no more fucking about. I'm going to write. I don't have a lot of time left. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow - and considering I'm one of these dreadful greenies who bicycles everywhere, that's more likely than you think. I have a day job, so the rent gets paid. The writing I do because I love it. So no, I'm not going to waste time writing things people think I should write, for my "career". And I'm not concerned with bagging scalps by working with certain publishers or on certain characters. I'm just going to write my stories, find people I like to illustrate them, and we're all going to have some fun, and make a little magic. " More.

SMOKE will be in stores on 1 June. I should have 18 copies to sell at Bristol. No, don't email me asking me to reserve one for you.
