I don't make New Year Resolutions…
Thursday, January 10th, 2008… But if I had and it had been to get a shift on with Night in the Sidhe I’d be doing well so far. Admittedly tidying up the current draft last night actually cut it down by several thousand words. I’ve move note and fragments of story without a home in the current structure […]
More NitS Progress
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Not so much of a big bang of progress over the last few days but anoter 1000 words or so have tied together some fragments of plot. I’ve managed to inflict a bit of rewritting on myself that I’ll have to do to make an innocuous object appear earlier in the story but thats what […]
NitS: Another 1K+ Words Bite the Dust
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Yeh! another thousand words of Night in the Sidhe bit the dust yesterday as I found a way from the bit of dialogue to the climactic fight sequence. I then immediately found I didn’t have a good idea for the fight but didn’t let that stop me so I just pushed on past it and […]
NitSCreeping Past 80K
Friday, December 7th, 2007It’s taken nearly two months but Night and the Sidhe finally crept past the 80K word mark thanks to two nights when the police helicopter woke me up this week. Each time I had a random fragment of the story in my head. Not the next bit which I’ve been stuck on which I really […]
So near I can almost touch it…
Monday, September 24th, 2007After a seven week break trying to formulate how I’d get through the climatic scene of the inner story I threw a couple of thousand words for Night in the Sidhe on to the virtual page tonight. 79,500 words are now on the page. 80,000 would have been a nice point to finish on tonight […]
And in a Packed Sunday…
Sunday, July 8th, 2007Last day of my week off today. I’ve done a lot this past week although as is normally the case with a week off not as much as I wanted to. I started the day with a trip into the city centre with plans to get some photographs for Wordless Wednesdays and to do a […]
Coincidences
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007Really early on in writing my Noir Fairy Tail I decided to make the main character a former soldier. For a bit of colour in his background I decided on the unit he served with and a couple of operations he had been involved in. I’ve just finished reading Chandler’s The Long Goodbye (a good […]
No Good Plan Survives Sunday
Sunday, May 20th, 2007After the usual Saturday yesterday of shopping and housework I had planned to split my time between wxPython in Action and writing. Well I did open the book at about eight PM and after getting wx running again and working through a few other bits and pieces it got shut. I do think that with […]
Thursday Thirteen #10
Thursday, May 17th, 2007Thirteen things that set my brain off on a tangent yesterday Thieves steal 250,000 Flake bars: The police are looking for a gang of attractive, long haired women moving in slow motion. The gang were heard chanting about the quality of the chocolate at the scene. A senual, warm rain shower followed the gang as […]
A little Apophysis and a Little Dragon
Monday, May 14th, 2007While I was working on Little Dragon getting the last of the big pieces of the puzzle that reveals the threat my Noir Fairy Tale has been building to I was rendering a little visulisation of the threat. More of a concept than a fully worked image. Made using Apophysis and Vue 6 Infinite.
