It’s two short working weeks here in Canberra, with two long weekends back-to-back, which is a nice break from the chaos that has been the last few months of work and writing. It’s also the last until Christmas, so we’ve got to make them count. The weather has been fantastic, with the temperature climbing into the mid-twenties, and promising to go higher. I’m still hoping for some rain at some point, but it’s been some fantastic weather for a brace of long weekends.

I was originally planning to have a new title ready in time for Halloween, but I don’t think that I’ll be able to do it justice in the amount of time we have left, so I think that I’ll be sliding it to next year’s Halloween period. That should give me sufficient time to make it worth a proper release.

I’m in two minds about the Christmas period, though. Whether to release, or give this one a pass. I’m kind of leaning towards pass, but I’ll wait to see how things progress.

Writing isn’t my only creative outlet, and I’ve found some good progress with some of my other creative endeavours, such that I think the time they take up will be winding back in the near future. I’m not going to say for certain that they will, but it’s looking promising. The same goes for some of my other pursuits, which have had quite an abrupt change in the last few days -- the sort of changes that result in a lot more free time, so I’ve got something to look forward to.
