Peat begins copyedits for The Skull Throne and receives an exciting box of books in the mail!
- @PVBrett – I have never read a bad review that makes me wish I’d written something differently.
- @PVBrett – Deep down I think we’d all like to lead a huge synchronized dance number just once.
- @PVBrett – Copyedit oddity: ‘-ward’ words. US style is ending on the ‘d’ ie ‘backward’. UK style is to add ‘s’ ie ‘backwards’. Does anyone really care?
- @PVBrett – What could it be?
- @PVBrett – Xmas came early!
- @PVBrett – As I grow older, I find less and less energy to give a fuck about oxford commas. #copyediting #skullthrone
- @PVBrett – For all my stylistic grumbling, my copyeditor is pretty damn awesome. #copyediting #sogladshecaughtthatone
- @PVBrett – Starting at 2:51 of this video, Cassie reads a 1 Star Review of The Warded Man and it is so cute you could die. http://youtu.be/Sv8ieamUIX0
- @PVBrett – Psst! Come to Emerald City ComicCon & you can buy #SkullThrone a week before release & have me there to sign it. http://emeraldcitycomicon.com/
- @PVBrett – Tons great comics in the @DynamiteComics Holiday Humble Bundle, with a portion going to some great charities: https://www.humblebundle.com/books
- @PVBrett – Who would have ever thought Gared would end up so darn likable? #SkullThrone
- @PVBrett – While looking for something else, I found an amazing pic of 1 year old Cassie doing a little light reading. #lotr
- @PVBrett – Watching The Phantom Menace with Cassie. The things we do for love…
- @PVBrett – I had forgotten just how incredibly godawful Phantom Menace is. I recall Attack of the Clones being an improvement. #fingerscrossed
- @PVBrett – Copyedit for #SkullThrone complete. I am eating cookies in bed and reading The Slow Regard of Silent Things by @PatrickRothfuss.
- @PVBrett – Suffering through the Anakin/Padme romance in Attack of the Clones and thinking maybe Jar Jar isn’t the worst part of prequels after all.
- @PVBrett – Attack of the Clones is bad, though still better than Phantom Menace. The half hour I just spent lightsaber dueling Cassie? Pure joy.
- @PVBrett – So @HarperVoyagerUK is going in a very different direction on their #skullthrone cover. It’s gonna be awesome.
Check out what Peat’s up to in real time on Twitter or Facebook.
The Skull Throne will be released in March in the U.S./U.K. with translations to follow. Pre-order the U.S. edition from Random House today.
You hate the Phantom Menace, fair enough. But how do you feel about Darth Maul?? I personally think Phantom Menace is the weakest Star Wars movie, but Maul is still awesome, and his duel with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was brilliant.
