I’ve got a few stories up on Smashwords – nothing major, just my collection of short stories. It is a valuable tool that one day I need to make more of. And now I have the inspiration to do so. On the Smashwords blog there is a post about one of their authors, Brian S [...]

Dr Who Christmas Special Promo and Unreleased Bridging Scenes
Posted: December 21, 2010 in GeneralTags: doctor who, video
I’ve got three clips to share here, all Dr Who related. The first is the promo for the upcoming Dr Who Christmas Special. And for a change this year it will be being shown in Australia at Christmas and not weeks later. The next two are unreleased bridging scenes, just special little scenes done for [...]

There was a time there yesterday where I was almost ready to give up on NaNoWriMo – I had done nothing on the story and was wondering if I’d get around to doing any. In the end though I had a late start I wrote almost 2000 words, bringing the total up to 17018 words. [...]
NaNoWriMo Day Ten

One third of the way through the month and I’m not yet one third of the way through the novel. I’m only sitting at 15,197 words, a full day behind where I should be. To catch up I need to be writing around 3,000 words today. Not an impossibility, but things always seem to come [...]
NaNoWriMo Day Seven

My weekend was a bit busy than I would have liked it to be, severely cutting down on the amount of time I had to write. I did manage to, just, hit the daily quotas, but only by staying up really late. Total so far now stands at 11,753 words. There are some people who [...]
As you may have noticed the blog has a brand new look – for a brand new start. I’m still fiddling with the layout so there may be some more minor changes to come. The links to pages at the top of the blog also have drop down menus available – these also need some [...]
Last night my sister had one of her friends around – she is here to help celebrate my sister’s surprise birthday before my sister heads overseas for a couple of years. Before she leaves she is working her way through my Doctor Who collection and her friend and I got her to watch the awarding [...]
The Doctor is back – and The Doctor is awesome. The first three episodes of the new season of Doctor Who have come out, showing the new, 11th, incarnation of the Doctor and his new companion, and any concerns people may have had about Matt Smith in the role can safely be put to rest. [...]
Castle – my favourite TV show currently showing – has been renewed for a third full season, which is excellent news. Ratings continue to improve and the show keeps on getting better. And they recently released a promo clip for the show which showcases the show perfectly – sexy, funny and great acting.
Six Degrees of Mass Effect 2 and the Singing Salarian
Posted: March 7, 2010 in GeneralTags: computer games, mass effect 2, video
Been a short while since I have had a chance to play ME2 but thought I should get around to posting some thoughts about. I’m still a bit unsure of whether I prefer Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2. In some areas they made some big improvements, but in others they didn’t quite hit the [...]
