The Day After Yesterday


The Day After Yesterday is the name of the novel Miles has written in the movie Sideways. If it is to ever be published, however, it will be with the help of his friend Jack -- the publishers just won't take the risk...

I've just finished watching Sideways, along with all the special features -- an excellent film, and one, as a budding novelist, that gives me pause...

Of course, I can't let anything like that get to me. I KNOW it's a cutthroat world out there, and that it's not easy to get published as an unknown author. WHAT THE FUCK EVER. This novel is in my head, and has been for some time, and it has to get out.

It's been a while since I've committed anything to the page, but even though my big excuse for that was a computer crash, can I say the interruption derailed the project completely? NO! The story keeps developing in my head, and soon I'll get back to it.

Apologies to those who were hoping to read more soon. As with any project, I feel it's best to work on it only when I'm inspired...

...and I feel the inspiration coming on -- so, patience, please...
