TBOD: Focusing on Lyra

[Enitharmon]

LoL, not one for keeping time... i read an interview last year saying he'd be finished scarecrow by december '03 and starting tbod in the new year (2004).

That's writing for you <sigh>

Don't bully the poor man, let him write what he wants when he wants to - after all, he's got enough money now not to need to worry about publishers' deadlines.

If I was Philip Pullman I'd buy me a racing car and zoom up and down the M1 in it.

Occasionally I would also find time for my passion, writing, but mostly it would be

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM for me

[eloquent]

Why would you have to be Philip Pullman to do that?

[jessia]

well, he said he's not that rich yet, just wealthy enough to not have to worry about money and picking up a book whenever it looks interesting.

I feel like I'm waiting for the second coming

Why would you have to be Philip Pullman to do that?

I wouldn't have to be...I just said that if I was that's what I'd do. I doubt I could go clubbing anymore after all o.o

I wonder how much of a cut he'll get from the movies.

[eloquent]

I should think he's already been paid for the rights. Though he might get a royalty for showings as well.

Being a canny sort of man I would imagine that he's negotiated a healthy deal for the film rights. Which will amount to far more than he'll get for the books.

funny how that works out, huh?
