Some of you may have noticed that for quite a while there has been a page called Pure Escapism on this site, but all it has said in that time is ‘coming soon’. Well, despite taking a bit longer than I had hoped, that time is now. Pure Escapism has arrived. What is Pure Escapism? [...]
Week In Review: Week Twenty 2009
Posted: May 21, 2009 in writing updateTags: Short story, writing, writing update
Twenty weeks into the year already – where does time go? News of the week is that I’ve finally finished the last of the four short stories I have been editing, at least well enough for the purposes I want it for. Hopefully sometime during the day the four of them will be available on [...]
Once more I am having quite an old debate with myself – where to begin. It is an old, old debate. There are many stories I want to tell in my writing about my worlds, but I want to choose a good one to begin with, to garner interest in the world and to share [...]
Three Down, One To Go

Well, finished the editing of the third short story over the weekend. Just one more to go. That one is the longest of them though, and the first one written, so will probably take the longest. I hope to have it done in the next couple of days though.
Had a rather intriguing idea come to mind the last few days. Of course I don’t have time for any other new ideas so this one is just being made note of for future use – unless it really takes a hold and doesn’t let go. I was watching a show the other day and [...]
Got in a couple of hours of solid work yesterday and finished off the second of the short stories I had in progress (for a given value of finished.) It came out to around 9500 words in the end, a decent length for a short story. I’m sure that with time I could make it [...]
Week in Review: Week Nineteen 2009
Posted: May 14, 2009 in writing updateTags: writing, writing update
I managed to get some writing done this week. Not a lot, but its a start compared to previous weeks. I also started getting back into posting on this site again. After such a long break it feels good to be making progress again, and I am positive about what is to come. I hope [...]
This post is, in a way, related to the previous post I made, on Dwarves vs Elves, though it goes beyond that. There are a number of never ending debates out there. Some, such as Cats vs Dogs, are fairly widely known, whilst others are more localised and often unknown outside the more geekish elements [...]
Dwarves or Elves. It is an old debate, and one, like Dogs or Cats and Pirates or Ninjas, is endlessly debated with no resolutions. On one side you have those who know the truth and on the other the recalcitrants that refuse to acknowledge what is obviously the truth. On one hand you have a [...]
