I loved Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa every time I saw him on screen, but I particularly loved him in this.

I need to take a walk around Spitalfields / Shoreditch soon. This is terrific. (And might be gone by the time I go for a look.)

I can report that, yes, listening to Word narrate your novel *will* reveal a bunch of typos you missed on the previous seventeen editing passes.
Also, Word will randomly switch narrators on you for a few sentences, and crash out occasionally, which livens up the process.

London has a couple of areas for street art lovers. Never fails to fascinate.

Snatching this out of the timeline for later thought, when I've had more than three hours of long haul flight sleep.
I had similar advice from Tom Disch in the early 1970s, about writing into a niche, changed my life & seems broadly applicable

My parents only made sure I was reading books that were challenging enough. That included a polite but reprimanding letter to a teacher and filling out forms at school libraries to give me access to all shelves. After that they left me to it.

So I appreciate the Dramatis Personae at the start of Empire of the Dawn but its main effect has been to convince me to reread Empire of the Vampire.

Editing is a lot of time spent putting a comma in, thinking carefully, then taking the comma back out.

Strange New Worlds writers: Let's do a horror episode that's a riff on Alien with chest-bursters and hunting through the dark corridors of a ship and the aliens are murderous Gorn hatchlings.
Me: Well played, sir.

So I just ... CAN'T buy Glen Cook's The Black Company series in ebook format in the UK? I've got the original trilogy, but the rest just doesn't seem to be available. Am I doing something wrong? How can THIS series not be available?

Also on Strange New Worlds, I'm very much enjoying the episodic with ongoing character arcs structure. Let's them really go out there with each episode, be creative in a way Star Trek should be. Wouldn't work without the good character writing and excellent acting from the cast.

I'm late to Strange New Worlds. Great fun so far. Just watched the episode in the first season that's "holodeck malfunction without a holodeck". The cast must have had so much trouble not cracking up on set.
