Non-fiction writing for January

Plans for completing the cycle of Exercises in Song have had to be shelved, probably until spring at this rate, as I'm now involved in a drier, if more immediately useful, writing project.

As I've said over on my programming blog, I’m very happy to be joining Tim Hall in co-authoring Python 3 for Absolute Beginners. It’s Tim and APress’ project, but I’ve been lucky in getting to author two of the chapters.

For those of you who have no idea what Python is, and are wondering if my hobbies include the esoteric art of manipulation of the non-venomous snake, or of the possibly rather venomous Cantabrigian comedians, then there's probably very little of interest that I can add to the above. Suffice it to say that I do hope to do some fiction writing soon: finishing off EiS and starting my new project, yet to be announced. I'll let you know when that happens.
