It's at a very exciting stage
Yeah, well, uh, answering the question of what I'm doing right now—I am editing something. Yes. You all know what editing looks like.
Yes, it's very much like that gif. The main difference is we use computers instead of typewriters and red pens because we are 6,000 km. apart, but the rest is an accurate portrayal. Including the author working on the roof, or naked. Both have happened. I can't speak for my editor on that bit, but who am I to judge him.
But wait, I didn't tell you what it is we're editing, did I? Okay, remember this new work I posted about last year?
Well, it's happening. Meddling Kids will be my next book in English, to be published by Blumhouse Books in summer/fall 2017. Will keep you updated; thanks for reading.

The FOSS
So. February. Fertilizer is happening, cogs are moving. Announcements will soon be made. But that's not postworthy news. This is a writer's blog and the important update is, I'm writing.
I don't stress myself with daily goals or weekly quotas, but I do obsess about producing at least one big thing every year. "Big" is a flexible adjective for size, but it should be something that stands by its own in a library. "Producing" means writing a finished, non-apologizing manuscript ‒ not selling or publishing it. And "thing" implies it doesn't even need a purpose. It may be my next book, or just an idea that took up too much room in my head so I just put it on paper in any random form. This one in the picture belongs to the latter kind. It's called The FOSS. And apparently it's a TV script.
"But do you work in TV or have any contacts in that world?" No.
"Do you have any experience as a screenwriter in English?" No.
"Do you even know what to do with this?" No.
But it's 60 minutes and it counts as biggish and it's written. And it's only February. :)

I was in Toronto and all I got was this awesome experience that will take another lifetime to beat
So I attended the 36th International Festival of Authors and I had a great time. This coming from a person who is reluctant to travel, fears meeting new people and often doubts whether this writing business is serious.
But ooh, it's become serious. Man, I'm so gonna write the shit out of my motifs now.
Thank you all.

I'm going to Canada!
I have been invited to attend the 36th International Festival of Authors in Toronto this fall. From October 30th to November 1st I will be doing readings, signing books and promenading around the Harbourfront Center with glittery eyes like I've never been there, because I've never been there. Or anywhere in Toronto. Or Canada.
So come to either of my programmed activities and say hi, and I guarantee I'll be excited to meet you, because I'll be excited, period. Not period—exclamation mark!
