jaceyThe Artisan tour is still in full swing. We've done Phases 1 and 2 (the UK July tour and the August Canadian tour), but Phase 3 is just about to begin - the UK September tour. It runs from September 3rd to 17th. The first ten days are all in the south and southwest of England, so we probably won't get home between gigs. Mum and Diezel Dog are once more in charge of both home and office - and of each other, of course. They did a great job in August and this trip lasts for less than half the time - plus we're only a few hours away if any emergencies arise.
But I've just looked at the calendar and - eep - the last week of the tour, which I thought was fairly light because we only had three gigs, all done as run-outs from home, has suddenly filled up. For starters, we can't even count the fiirst day because though we've no gig, we do have to drive all the way home from Swanage, Dorset. Then we only have one day (Wednesday) without a gig.
What's the panic?
The last Artisan gig is on Friday 17th September and on Saturday 18th it's the start of the Milford week. A week closeted away in the wilds of Snowdonia with a dozen or so other SF writers. And between now and then I have to deliver 2 pieces of writing of up to 15,000 words (combined).
I have just one thing to say: AAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!
It looks like I'll be nose-to-laptop at every available opportunity on this tour.
Probably no more LJ posts until after Milford.

Date: Sep. 3rd, 2010 08:35 am (UTC)I have to admit, I am very glad I didn't make the mistake of booking for this year. I do have some stories that I wrote on the advanced creative writing course that no one else has seen and that would be fine for Milford, but my thoughts are not on writing at the moment and other things are taking priority at the moment.
Until I can get a new brain with faster processing capacity and more RAM, I have to avoid falling into the trap of trying to do too many complex and demanding things at once.
