It would be especially wonderful if you put a pseudonym on the cover. "Untitled 2008 John Scalzi Novel" by P. Widdington Qua or something like that.

Martin. Based on how long his latest installment is taking, it looks like even George R. R. Martin is hard pressed to fill his own shoes. Maybe someday.

We haven't seen much of your short work, and the short fiction we *have* seen has generally not been a plotted story with narrative, per se, not like the novels are. Sounds like you're a very busy man, John. About the only person who might be busier is Elizabeth Bear (have you seen her schedule? Great googly!)

You said than that you couldn't tell us anything about it, but that it was posing some interesting structural challenges for you, and that you were having to do much more planning than is normal for you. Or did that one get set aside? It will be interesting to read your fantasy novella, since we haven't seen anything like that from you yet. John,
