Meh. And a review.
Oct. 2nd, 2007 05:45 pmThis is the sort of day I don't understand, when I'm working; it's been that sort of day where it's entirely impossible to understand how I ever can work. I can't imagine where the work would have fitted in.
Okay, I had a crap night; but I got up at the usual sort of time, and I have done nothing today that I might not do on a regular working day - written a letter, read some LJ, watched an hour's TV, walked into town for an hour - and yet on a regular day I would have written four or five pages by now. Today? Nothing. Not a word. Meh.
Still, Ian Whates sends a link to this review of his anthology 'DisLocations', wherein my story 'Terminal' is applauded, which is nice. Money shot:
"Chaz Brenchley's 'Terminal' is a rich, dense, highly textured story about the teleportation of consciousness and the nature of identity, set on an exotic planet, and which lingers long in the memory, and like the MacLeod story, is one of the best of the year, let alone in the book."
It also says that Ken MacLeod has none of my obvious glamour. There I go, being obvious again...
