Too Many Ideas - Archive for the ‘NitS’ Category

Absolutely wiped out from work today. After last nights burst of creativity tonight didn’t result in anywhere near as many words on the page. I have moved things foward a little but I’m not back to the action yet. I should be able to drop the hero back into mortal danger soon but for now […]

Past the Hump in Fairytale Noir

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I’d found the hump in Fairytale Noir. That awkward bit in the middle of the story where I can’t make my mind up if it is worth finishing or not. Words haven’t been spilling onto the page. I sat down tonight intending to spend half an hour trying to do something with it then do […]

Accidental Discovery while Writing

Monday, May 8th, 2006

So I was busy writing my Noir earlier or trying to write it anyway. Its all told in the first person (well it is a noir) and so I’ve not described the hero at all. I know he’s pretty much an everyman, an ex-soldier, quite cold, from Liverpool and an outsider but other than that […]

Bit Warm and I Need a Synonym for Busy

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

It was just a bit warm here today. We had thunderstorms and heavy rain too. I need to find some synonyms for "Busy". Not only did I knock off not one but two drafts of Vue Python for Beginners I also wrangled another 250 words out of the noir fairy story which is coming on […]

Hexed?

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I started to get to grips with Hex2 yesterday. Certainly easier to work with than Amapi was but I’d still rather be using 3ds Max if I had the money. The biggest annoyance is the frequency with which it crashes. While attempting the first two tutorials it crashed seven times, twice locking the computer. It […]

Blame Kim!

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Kim has been putting the metaphorical thumbscrews on at the writing group we go to for us all to submit our work to be publishers. She has a quite lurid turn of phrase for it I won’t use on a public blog because it would attract completely the wrong kind of search results from web […]

The Mystery that was Tonight

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Not quite certain how I’ve done everything I’ve done tonight: Hacked Secret Web App trimming 2 seconds from its speed Hacked Secret Web App’s CSS file so it looks less of a mess Wrote some more of fairy tale noir – the hero is about to knowingly cross into the dangerous and dark world of […]

Fairy Tale about to go Distinctly Dark

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Well my protagonist (calling a noir detective a hero just doesn’t seem right somehow) is about to enter the land of the flower fairies. Which is going distinctly dark and treacherous on him. Everything will be alright as long as he stays on the true path. That shouldn’t be too hard for a PI now […]

Late Again
