Plus people have been writing about Arthur for so long, literally more than a thousand years. And it’s a very old story, and I want to feel like it’s getting traction on what feels like a very new world while still remaining true to its old-ness. You wouldn’t think it would take this long but Arthur is just one of those many-layered multi-chambered subjects that it’s really hard to feel like you’ve come to grips with in any kind of a satisfying way. I turned in a first draft of it in January and a second draft in September, but I figure it’s going to take one more major revision before I can really say I’m in the endgame. I spent a lot of this year working on a novel about King Arthur called The Bright Sword. An essay of mine appeared in a wonderful book about fantasy maps. I also gave a lecture or two. But apart from that (unless I’m forgetting something, which is totally possible) I just wrote and wrote and wrote and didn’t publish anything. I wrote a book review in the New York Times with a very creepy 1970’s-style sci-fi illustration. As a result it’s totally possible for me to do an entire year of really intense work and come to the end of it having published practically nothing. I write slowly, and these days I mostly write long, basically because I suck at short stories and because I’ve (mostly, temporarily) stepped back from journalism. Tuesday, December 11th, 2018 The Year that Wasn’t This is Steve Morris’s amazing cover for the Magicians graphic novel, out next year Last but very much not least is The Silver Arrow, a novel for children. How this came to pass is a story so incredible I would not have believed it, but asically it’s a kind of premium-cable Sopranos/Wire/Game of Thrones take on space opera in the grand romantic Star Wars tradition.

One is The Heavens, a TV show I’m creating with Michael London (from the Magicians TV show), AGBO (the studio run by the Russo brothers, of Community/Captain America/Avengers megafame), and Amazon. It deserves its own blog post which I will one day write. It’s based on a short story I published in an anthology called Summer Days and Summer Nights, and it’s got a cast and a director and it’s going into production right now. It’s called The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, and it’s kind of a Groundhog Day rethink about two teenagers trapped in a repeating day together. In the meantime here’s something that I’m so excited about that I have trouble even thinking about it directly: I wrote a movie. I’m publishing it in 2021 come hell or high water or the actual return of actual King Arthur.
But I think I get what it needs now, I just have to find some time to focus on it. I’ve now written the whole thing front to back, twice, and it’s still not right. I’m still working on The Bright Sword, my novel about King Arthur. The Magicians TV show rolls on: Season 5 kicks off on January 15th - which is today! OMG! It’s going to be incredible and beautiful.
