Edited a good chunk of Hell's Horizon over the weekend -- no rest for me in the run-up to Christmas!! I'm determined to finish it before the end of the year, not because I have to, but because that's the goal I set myself, and I like meeting goals -- a lot of writing, as I've said before, is about your mental attitude, and if you set goals for yourself and meet them, you feel positive, and that feeds back into your writing and helps you keep going. So, yuletide or not, I'm pushing on and squeezing in as much work on the book every day that I can. I'll obviously ease up a bit over the next few days, to enjoy the festivities, but I won't rest fully until I have my edit in the can!!!

Answered a lot of fan mail tonight. Saw the film Bobby which was quite good overall, though weak in places. Still getting through season 4 of Oz, which is as violent and compelling as ever.

I probably won't get back on here before Christmas, though I'll try to check in at least once on Christmas Day to say hello, as I usually do. So, for the final time this year -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!!!!! I hope you all enjoy yourselves, relax, eat some good turkey, watch some good telly, and -- if you're of age or have understanding parents -- and quaff a nice glass or two of wine as well. Cheers!!
