It’s that time again, my monthly recap of my writing progress, interesting articles, videos, and podcasts I read/watched/listened to, and books I finished. Check out the past installments here.
Writing update
I’m about a third of the way done with the first draft of Guild of Magic. My way too early estimate of a release date is sometime this summer.
I also released the first part of a brand-new monthly serial called Guild of Tokens: Beginnings that will be exclusive for newsletter subscribers. You can read the first part here and subscribe to get the rest!
Links and things
- Sir Ian McKellen apparently kept a semi-regular blog during the time he was shooting Lord of the Rings in New Zealand and it is still up on the Internet! For those of you who can’t commit to watching however many hours of the behind-the-scenes documentaries there are, this is a welcome substitute!
- Ari Emanuel, WME, and the great Hollywood IPO that wasn’t, by Richard Rushfield
- Side note, if you’re a TV/movie news junkie, you should definitely be subscribing to Rushfield’s newsletter, The Ankler
