One Third Done
Thursday, March 9th, 2006Well another night of editing and now I’m about a third done with trying to polish the story. Not really the most exciting stuff in the world to talk about.
Busy Doing Something
Wednesday, March 8th, 2006Got stuck back into editing FFSDiNoaN (no not a place next door to a place in Wales with a steam railway… First Fantasy Story Desperately in Need of a Name). Three pages crawled over. One more info dump moved into the new opening as an actual scene. Slowly it’s getting there.
Sky Colour Filter
Friday, March 3rd, 2006Just been playing around and wrote a really simple Python script for Vue 5 Infinite that lets you apply a single colour filter to the sky. Instructions on how to use it are at the top of the script. http://www.mscaldwell.me.uk/works/vuepythonscripts/skyfilter.zip
Just when I wasn't Looking.
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006There I was not paying attention and get not just my first comment but two. I will now go away and write out 100 times “I must pay more attention”. Honest I will.
Once upon a time
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006I did a rough edit on the first 1500 words of Untitled Fantasy and hammered out the first take on a new opening. I’m going to put it in front of some friends later to see what they think. Fingers crossed it builds up the suspense for later on.
You may start editing now
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006Started on editing Untitled Fantasy Story today. Despite friends who’ve already read it liking the opening I’m having a problem with it. Starting in media res in a fantasy story without any real background set up is forcing me to info dump later on in the story. I don’t want to use flash backs or […]
Blogged Too Soon
Sunday, February 26th, 2006Yeah! I did it. I wrote the last couple of scene. Found a few interesting surprises I’d not anticipated that make the ending far less like bad space filler and far more like story telling. Then I typed The End. 15,500 words. Now I have to edit the dang thing. I already know it needs […]
So close I can almost type it…
Sunday, February 26th, 2006Almost reached a point where I can type The End. But not quite. Past the 15,000 word mark. Still a few bits to go back and fill in. Just the tidying up left. Then editing.
Far Too Normal
Saturday, February 25th, 2006After an hour of carefully looking at my database design for the new Impworks site I’m pretty certain I normalized it to the fifth normal form. I wish I could say I’d planned to do that at the outset but to be honest I didn’t. Without even thinking about it I designed it that way. […]
Plodding On
Saturday, February 25th, 2006Its friday night so what have I been doing? I’ve been plodding on with more stuff for my new web site. And sciving off playing computer games a bit too 🙂
