… for the month of January, and I clock in at No. 23, but hey—hey I say, “doin’ alright” for a gal from the far side of the world!<\/p>\n

Well, I’m stoked anyway!\u00a0 And you can check out the evidence, here<\/strong><\/a>. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

The post, if you haven’t checked it out already, is “Making Epic Fantasy New—Do We Need To?”<\/strong> and it’s right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of posts, you’ll have noticed that I haven’t done any ‘big’ posts in the last wee while—fear not, the well is not dry, but I’ve just been a little busy juggling writing the new book, with doing the final proof round for The Gathering of the Lost<\/em>, and also taking up the creative writing residency. All good stuff, but there are only so many hours in a day (cliche alert—but like most cliches they get to be that way for a reason!), and ‘after hours Helen’ has been a tad over-committed too. But I’ve been jotting down ideas as I go along—because there’s never<\/span> any shortage of ideas ;-)—so like Arnie, I shall “be back.”<\/p>\n

OK, pop culture references in this post:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“doin’ alright”<\/strong> — the way they actually sing it in the refrain from “Doing All Right” by Queen (one of my favourites from—can I say, just about forever!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“the far side of the world”<\/strong> from the book of the same name by Patrick O’Brian (& one of the Aubrey\/Maturin series, of which may I say: awesome!) as well as the Peter Weir film ‘Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World’<\/em><\/strong> (which is two books in one movie title, but never mind—it was based far more on The Far Side of the World<\/em><\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“I’ll be back” — first and most famously used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first The Terminator<\/strong><\/em> movie in 1984<\/p>\n
