I’ve got a rejection letter today… in my inbox this morning was an email from the editor of Fiction Warehouse informing me that my two submitted stories did “not suit our current needs”, which, according to a fellow author, is as lame an excuse as a rejection letter can have.
On a brighter note I can happily reveal to you that work is in progress on editing the collection, although on a somewhat slow pace. I’m optimistic about it and have a good feel that this book will be a much more polished than the previous one.
Today, a friend photographer brought in some new photos he took of me at the October book launch of QuixotiQ, I was pleased. So big thanks to him. I’ve put some up on the flickr account where you can now also view some images from my recent
I’m having a lot of trouble trying to manage my time. There’s lots to do and I really am planning a number of things to promote QuixotiQ in the very near future… hopefully, things will start materializing once I get the chance to focus on them, right after I finish with the current project I’m working on.
The BAFTAs had a couple of surprises, didn’t they? Good surprises though. I liked the fact that Vera Drake got two big awards on the night (even though I am yet to see it!) It’s defiantly on my list to-see. And the Motorcycle Diaries. It’s a shame that we don’t get world cinema films around here played on the big screens. Though I believe the Bahrain Cinema Club does hold special screenings of similar films on a weekly basis, maybe I ought to check them out.
Maybe I will.
Just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Valentine's Day. 
Sorry about the rejection. Yucky.
