end of June I have the audiobook version of "Children of the Sun" proofread and checked for functionality. An adaptation of the standard means of 4 CDs with a 400-page novel that he will be reduced by about half. There is a reduction to the essentials, with the art, can be the result of yet do not sound like patchwork and preserve all causal relationships. Since some of the scissors fall victim to, especially in the subplots. But there are numerous sections in which I must admit: He that has become really good, short and crisp and without many frills. In one scene I'm almost angry that I have not even written in this form, so witty and pointed it reads in the abridged version. However, it takes the figure to a little bit of their authority.
Last week I went with the editor of Jumbo by even the phonetics of many ideas and creations. Yesterday, finally completed the audio book recordings, and both the editor and I are excited to see how it will sound after the finish.
is now also the audio version of LORD GAMMA eingetrudelt with my agent and should be tomorrow or the day when I have received in the mailbox.
Speaking cuts: THE AION is no trilogy, but "just" a two-parter. Since I can the development of the private situation (see entry of 25 May) are currently not completely assess and avoid, as well as the publisher would like that between the publication of Part 2 and take part 3 may have one and a half years, we have agreed that History of Mira's World Tree Search complete with volume 2. And I'm going to leave but one or two back doors open so that could follow at a later stage a self-contained third-AION novel or even a further two-piece. History will not, however, suffer less. It will not be lost or be told even in the Hogfather to an end.
As for the writing itself, I would have to occur this year, a little shorter, until the whole Trouble mid / late 2009 has calmed down hopefully to the extent that I can agree with my conscience and my physical and mental health. Because - with all our good will and the related efforts - I can I do not tear up at the same time in three hamster to 18-20 hours a day for three different wheels to drive. Two parallel current on deadlines fixed full-time jobs and the forced administration of a nearly 6,000-square-foot, 100 kilometers away in the plot are a little too much of a good.
The bottom line is "ease up": I'll write some short stories and eventually finish in peace the Roman episode, I am working on sporadically since 1999. Previously I had tried to write an episode for each year. is based on the novel table somewhere between HP Lovecraft's New England playing a mountain, Forest and meadow stories and Iain Banks as magnificent as it is disturbing debut The Wasp Factory.
some reasonably self-contained episodes of the novel into the world already have seen in several anthologies. Numinos example (in "old gods do not die"), RELICON (in "The Breath of God") or Endemion (in "Arkham - a guide"). The anthology title and the names of the stories give an idea about what is at stake in the novel. Especially Endemion than any other episode, the mood and the ambience reflects the novel.
