Things seem to be looking up...
First I lucked into meeting another journalist who volunteered to edit the second edition of TRNT. Then, how about this for great luck? Two months ago I went on the web looking for someone or an outfit to lay out my book and happened on an entity called Five Seventeen. Five has been brilliant - not just laying out stuff, but doubling as researcher and editor. (Perhaps that's tripling). Of course as a graphic artist you expect them to know the difference between en and em dashes, but Five has provided top notch advice on use of quotes and arcane issues about copyrights.
Then, just yesterday, I received an email from a documentary producer interested in working on a doc based on TRNT. We have arranged a weekend meeting before the idea is pitched to a cinematographer who has worked with The Harder They Come. Which is cool because back in 1999 the writer/director of THTC, Perry Henzell was my guest at Concordia University. (I was the prez of the Graduate Students Association). We screened THTC and Henzell answered questions from the audience and I presented him with a GSA shirt. The high point: Lunch with Perry at McKibbins Irish Pub on Bishop Street in Montreal. I had also set a book signing for his book "Sweet Stuff," for him at Chapters. I have an autographed copy stashed.
I have long been a skeptic of horoscope, but what should I make of a prolonged spell of good, seemingly, on-the-mark ones recently? This one for example in today's Globe and Mail:
Aquarius....The sun energises your ruler Uranus today, making it easy for you to turn ideas into realities. It does not matter in the slightest what others say can and cannot be done -if you believe in what you are doing it will be a resounding success. You cannot lose.
