Still Monday and feeling better already post rant

Just to prove that it is not all doom and gloom at the land of Eye, I wanted to quickly explain why things had been quite on Blog front from me.
As many may know a couple of weeks ago was the London Book Fair. This is an annual event where all the publishers get together under one big roof and show off what they are doing or about to do and try and get other publishers interested in buying the rights for their territories.
Invariably it turns out to being quite a BIG session.
Anyway last year it was an Excel in docklands and the industry kicked up a real fuss. It was traditionally at Olympia and most people knew the score and how it all worked. Which restaurants to go to and which lunch places there were (all key important things in this horrid world of publishing). However Reed really ****ed it up at Excel to the point that a competitor (the people who organise the Frankfurt Book Fair) tried to start a rival to Reed's at Olympia. Anyway, to cut a long sotry short, Reed kept hold of it and agreed to move it back to West London and to Earls Court. Am glad to say that it was a real success and the space was awesome as was the effort that most publishers went to to show off what they do. Anyone would think that there was lots of money around!
Anyway, with preperation for that, my time and focus on this fell away. I have had lots of things that I have wanted to write about, but it was always the next thing on my list. Quite like a diet or excercise or giving up drinking.
