Voyager: Full Circle extract in Star Trek Magazine 16

[TerriO]

Good. Hopefully I'll get my copy to show off at Farpoint soon, then!

Lots of fun stuff I get to talk about at Farpoint.

I have to say, Paul, the magazine has really been going from strength to strength lately. Historically, I haven't been a regular buyer of the magazine, 'cause I really can't afford it, but if you refuse to stop putting out such an excellent product, I may be forced to take drastic measures in order to afford it. (Like, y'know, stop eating.)

Overrated pastime, eating.

I'm very lucky to work with a great bunch of writers, and one hell of a designer!

[TerriO]

And I'm sure I speak for many others when we say we're very lucky to work with you, Paul.

^ What She Said.

^Suckup.

I'll happily admit I'm having a ball working with Paul and the magazine. The Captain Proton stuff was some of the most fun I've had writing in a long time. He really let me go hog-wild on those pieces. As an added bonus, I struck up a new friendship with Dave Reddick, whose artistic contributions this time are truly first rate.

 

[TerriO]

Hey, I'm having a great time. Paul knows I went into the "holy crap, I got it, what do I do now!" mode after he went for me interviewing Robert Picardo at Dragon*Con last year (the first interview I've ever conducted, BTW, so the issue will hopefully one day be a true collector's item )

And thanks to Paul, I may end up in another of Titan's magazines soon, so thanks, buddy.

Well, anyone who's met me would tell you I could stand to miss a few meals...

^Nutrisystem, man. Nutrisystem. I've managed to lose the first 20% of my goal since the beginning of the month.

I just cut down on how much Insulin I inject or don't inject at all - but that's not the best way to lose weight

Speaking as the husband of one diabetic and the son of another, I can say with some authority that that is a good way to die young, though.

 

[Dayton Ward]

My copy of this arrived in today's mail. It looks downright swank, if I do say so myself. I haven't yet had time to really sit down and read everything, but it looks pretty meaty at first glance. Definitely something of interest to Voyager fans.

One thing I did read was TG Theodore's piece about writing the VGR stage plays with Bob Picardo and Ethan Phillips. I was jealous as hell reading that....

Do not worry, I'm keeping an eye on blood glucose. I have diabetes in my family. I have a healthy paranoia.

And I'm going to have to check for the magazine on my way home. Got stuck in the Lunch Meeting From Hell and didn't get a chance to go over.

 

[ClayinCA]

Good - take care of yourself. I seem to have dodged the diabetic bullet for the moment, but I'm all too aware that I'm a prime candidate.

Lunch Meetings From Hell suck. That's about the only thing I haven't had to worry about today....

FWIW, my grandmother died of a heart attack in her 70s. She was diagnosed diabetic at 35. And this was long before the days of current diabetic meds. (She died about 20 years ago.) So it was possible to live a pretty full life even then.

 

[ClayinCA]

My mother was diagnosed when she was six years old, in the late Forties. She passed away in the Nineties, but I often think she'd marvel at all the things they can do for diabetics now - they never had portable testers or insulin pumps or Glucophage or any of those things in her lifetime, at least not in common use.

 

[TerriO]

Quick aside back to the magazine. Paul, thank you for ending that interview where you did. When Bob gave me that line I was hoping that was where we'd end it.

Has anyone been able to find this in the UK yet?

My part of the UK (Wiltshire) has been closed today due to a few inches of snow
