What’s Happening This Week: 1 — 7 October
Monday, Monday — and time to think about what’s on the to-do list, here on the blog and/or on other sites for the rest of the week…
First and most obviously, writing Daughter of Blood, The Wall of Night Book Three, which is — of course! — an “every day” task and very much in the spirit of John Steinbeck’s book quote yesterday (right here.)

Later today, once US eastern standard time clicks on over into 1 October (around 5 pm) I’ll be posting on the Supernatural Underground, since the first of the month is my regular gig there. This month’s post will be something a little different for my posts on the Supernatural Underground, so do pop on over and take a look (after 5.30 pm, NZ time; 12.30 am, EST.)

Tomorrow, of course is the Tuesday Poem day—and if you haven’t already seen last week’s featured poem on the Hub, Revolver by Australian poet Samuel Wagan Watson, it’s well worth a read, so do check it out, here.
Last week’s featured poem here on “… Anything, Really” was Kerrin Sharpe’s “sewing the world”, from her debut collection “Three Days In A Wishing Well” (Victoria University Press), both also well worth a read.
Check in tomorrow to see what poem I have featured for this week… 😉

On Wednesday, I shall be posting the fourth of my “A View from Here” series (a spin off from the Aotearoa Blog Carnival) in which — having looked at the view from my study, from Christchurch, and from Aotearoa-New Zealand — I shall look at “a view from here” in terms of my own writing.
Also on Wednesday, it’s the opening salvo for the Canterbury Poets’ Collective Poetry in Performance Spring Series with guest poet, Joanna Aitchison, and students from the Hagley Writers’ Institute. The programme for the full eight weeks, including details of venue, time and entry fee, is here.

Also coming up this week — I should have a new review from Andrew Robins on the blog for Friday: this one will be of Iain M Banks new Culture novel, The Hydrogen Sonata. Something to look forward to at the end of the week , especially for those of you who enjoyed his reviews of Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312, here, and John Scalzi’s Redshirts, here.
