2012

Well, another year, another solar cycle… welcome to 2012!  Looking back on 2011, it hasn’t been all bad… there’s been a lot of lighting, some of it from quite wacky positions on quite unexpected jobs… there’s also been a lot of writing.  The Minority Council is finished and ready to go, Urban Magic 5 is sat on the hard drive waiting for the next round of editorials, there’s The Book Which Cannot Be Named (yet) currently with my agent.  There’s also been a rehearsed reading of one of my attempts at a play, a vague attempt at a screenplay for something else which Cannot Be Named, and of course I’m now sat down having a think about Urban Magic 6 and the big musical that heralds in the New Year.  So, in the grand scheme of things, I’d say things were going…

… alright!

I don’t mean to sound so surprised about it, it’s just that it’s always tricky getting anything resembling an objective lookback on a year.  Bad news tends to be remembered more than good, so to look back and say that, all things considered, the bad news was kept at a reasonably low level and the good news was actually kinda quite chipper, is a bit of a comfort.  As for 2012… the year of the Mayan apocalypse and, in possibly not unrelated circumstances, the London Olympics… who can say?

Happy New Year, everybody!
