Hey there,
Phew! It's hectic but exhilarating. Rehearsals of The Calanish Stoned are ongoing. It's exciting to see the play coming to life. I will post the tour dates soon, but it opens with 3 shows at An Lanntair (Stornoway) before going on the road. I think those tickets are already available, though all the posters and flyers aren't quite ready yet.
What else? I finally finished my short story Edinburgh Man for an anthology of short stories inspired by songs by cult musical nutcases The Fall. I can't remember offhand when that book comes out - summer, I think. But summer this year or next? Can't recall. Also sent off a flash fiction micro-narrative to same people for a book of Flash Fiction with all proceeds going to charity. That's a genre (and a cause) I like!
And I wrote a feature today for The Herald Saturday Arts section about Iain Crichton Smith and his 'new' book and CD.
This last fortnight has been one of my busiest in a long time.
I head off to Edinburgh on friday for the Festival of Middle Eastern Spirituality and Peace Writing Residency I'm doing. Details of some events in previous web journal entry below. Even just travelling down to Edinburgh (ferry, bus, train) will be nice and relaxing for me, a calm between two creative storms.
Oh, and the mad wee online shop WILL be opening soon.
Later,
Kevin
