Finished another editing pass through Chapter 2 of the novel in progress, adding in all the things I remembered needed adding when I finished yesterday morning’s session. Then I came up with another three- or four-line exchange, which I dutifully wrote down on a sticky note for tomorrow’s session.
I see that Simon & Shuster has decided to go the e-Galley route for some publications. Yay! “To use GalleyGrab, media sources must register–a process required only once–to then access a galley using a link provided to them. The link becomes invalid on the book’s publication date.” They’re not phasing out hardcopy galleys; this is just another option. I like.
I hear via the Twitter-vine that the next Doctor Who special airs on Sunday, November 15th. I think that’s the same day that The Prisoner starts up on AMC. Then, via the CBC, I read that David Tennant has been cast in a new NBC comedy. He’s going to play a Chicago lawyer who coaches his clients to represent themselves in court in the new NBC sitcom Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. “The comic role has Tennant playing a lawyer so prone to panic attacks he cannot be relied on in the courtroom.” Hmmm.
The writers always come up with interesting scenarios for Dexter. This season, he is on the trail of a highly successful serial killer who he both wants to bring to justice (his own particular kind of justice) and study. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
I watched another of the Rebus shows, Dead Souls. I remember the novel much better than I did Black and Blue, so it was fun to play along. Still don’t think this is the best actor to play Rebus, and the dream sequences were both annoying and irrelevant, but it was a stronger show than the first one.
Good episode of NCIS last night, too. Whenever Gibbs’ old boss comes back on the scene, things always pick up, and seeing the guy in the room with his son’s mother-in-law and then later on the beach: funny stuff. I recorded V to watch this evening. I caught a little bit of the original series on SyFy to refresh my memory of it. Boy–I haven’t seen Faye Grant in forever.
