At The Bus Stop
Hmm… turns out on Saturday afternoon everyone wants to go to Geochang…
Arrived at Nambu Bus Terminal at just after 2.00 and all tickets were sold out except for just a couple left for the 5.50 bus. I love a four hour wait, really, I do.
I’ve found shelter in a local Cafe Bene. There’s free wifi and a power outlet, so at least I can get some work done and still have enough...

In Other News
If you understand Korean and you enjoy reading stories about hairy white actors living in Korea, then be sure to pick up a copy of next week’s Newsweek Korea. One of their senior editors assures me that an article I wrote will be published in next weeks edition…
Also it seems as if I’ve landed myself a regular spot on TBSeFM’s morning show “1013 Main Street”....

I Have No Pictures Of The Rain...
Well, this has to be pretty much the worst flooding in Seoul I can remember. Other areas in Korea are often hit hard, but the past 24 hours has been horrible. Luckily I’ve been indoors for most of it and our 3rd floor villa apartment in Itaewon remains safe from any sort of waterlogged nightmare.
On the other hand, EBS radio didn’t fare so well…

Solitary Confinement
It has been a rather odd sort of day. I have left our apartment for the grand total of three minutes and apart from that have spent the day sat in front of the computer trying to retranslate, reedit and generally sort out The Tempest.
There have been a fair few changes over the past couple of days, some new scenes have come and gone, but stayed just long enough for me to translate them and then...

Book Two!
I have just sent off Book Two and the rewrites for Book One to my editor… early…
Now to do the washing up, cook dinner and have a glass of wine.
Book Three isn’t due for two weeks, but the translated manuscript for The Tempest book we’re making needs to be perfect by the 31st. Woo! It’s going to be a fabulous week!

soniassi-deactivated20120108 asked: Your life is so amazing! I'm so excited that you have a Tumblr now! Do you have anything on the internet explaining how you started acting in Korea? I'm in awe that you're going to the Edinburgh festival~ Do you go every year?

Unhinged
I’ve spent pretty much all day in front of my macbook working on the Tempest translation, book one rewrites and book two of my children’s set, and I think madness is starting to set in.
Tonight I get to watch a runthrough of the aforementioned Tempest and see whether our translation fits with the piece or not. I’m going to be the one creating and operating the subtitles for our...
Meetings!

Fun! Fun! Fun!
My work day is crawling to a close. I’ve sent off my first children’s book for editorial approval/feedback and we have finally finished our first full translation of The Tempest. Yay!
I’ve got editing meetings tomorrow and I’ll be watching a rehearsal of The Tempest to see how well the translation fits, but it feels like a big chunk of work has been sorted out. Now...

Funny as always, but this makes for occasionally queasy reading. You have been warned.

Halfway Through And Translation Too
I’m halfway through book one and may well be finished by the end of the day. Must force myself not to watch cookery shows or old episodes of Doctor Who…
I popped into Daiso (1,000 won store) yesterday and on a whim snatched up a whiteboard and some markers. Turns out it’s a great way to storyboard the book and get my ideas into shape. I’ve been taken photos with my iPhone,...
