The writing life

[ksmith]

At this point, I'm used to people asking me, sometimes jokingly and sometimes not so, when the books will be made into a movie.

I'm just not used to them asking me in the middle of the company credit union, over the lunch hour, in a loud voice, when the place is busy and all the tellers are listening.

Not so gallant me, I'm afraid. I said "I don't even know how to answer that question."

Someone asked George Martin that this past weekend, and he said along the lines of scripts get made, deals get arranged, deals fall through, who knows? It's a crapshoot.

He was dismayed, I think, that Heroes has received so much attention and praised when Wild Cards has been doing something similar for years. But I haven't read int hat series so maybe I didn't understand the conversation.

It's like, yeah, I knew how to answer. I just didn't KNOW how to ANSWER. Frankly, I didn't have the energy.
