Creating Kezra Day 13

Co-writing a sci-fi novel to prove a point continues...

I find myself focusing mainly on three things:  actual work, writing about Kezra and obsessively checking the blog stats. The latter being a hindrance to the two previous.

I imagine this is a phase that will slowly ebb away and for everyone else’s sake, I really hope it is. Even my co-writer, A, is becoming visibly bored by my hourly updates about the new countries that we have magically reached out to. The web really is a marvel.

In addition to this, we have now bravely shared our very first creative efforts with each other. I was shocked to see that A had written considerably more pages (4!) than I had (2) and had even included our first piece of dialogue. A’s efforts are also, I hasten to add with mild jealously, pretty darn good. I’m suitably impressed and now wait for what can only be described as serious amounts of trepidation for the “developmental feedback” that I sense A will have to deliver.

We have also discovered that there is to be a British National Science Fiction Convention this April in London.  I note the organisers are requesting volunteers for the "filking sessions".

Should we go along and what is a "filking session"?
