Arthur's Blog (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1608338-Arthurs-Blog I wrote a poem today - the first for a long time. I tend to turn to poetry at times of high emotion and lately I have certainly had that! My job is the cause of much angst at the moment with no immediate end in sight. I am reminded of a funny quote I read once, "Due to cut backs, the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off until furt...[Read Full Post] Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:25:02 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/718908 Five feet, four inches. That is how tall he stands when wearing his boots that have a two inch platform on heel and sole. He is short, certainly, though stocky. His body is a hard mass of tough muscle and tight sinew. His fierce face is a preponderance of scars and craters placed upon a large round head. His hair is cropped close to a scalp that is ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:52:29 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/682202 Well, it's all over again for another year! I think Christmas should be once every two years. It comes round too quick and the Christmas adverts appear earlier every year. No, I am not a fan of Christmas. It's one day and I will celebrate Christ's birth but that's it. The rest is pointless. Yes, I can here you all whispering "Ba...[Read Full Post] Tue, 29 Dec 2009 05:49:21 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/681384 In keeping (or "Inn Keeping!) with the time of year, I had an idea to write a dramatisation of the very reason for Christmas. My story - as yet unfinished - can be found in my portfolio and is titled, "The Stable". Though it is my version of events, I have taken my que from the Gospels and have also done a little bit of research into the er...[Read Full Post] Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:57:21 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/679982 Perhaps your parents or grandparents read you fairy tales when you were young. Maybe you read them yourself as you grew older, but not wiser. Quite often they began with, 'Once upon a time...' More often than not, they ended, '...happily ever after!' These stories told in the soothing tones of parental love would lull you to sleep wit...[Read Full Post] Sat, 05 Dec 2009 10:41:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/678793 I have been writing a novel that I have called 'Cornercopia' and have posted Part One on my portfolio. It is something I have been working on for almost two years and have almost completed the first book. I say first, as I believe there is a lot of potential for an ongoing series. It is a mix of all the old stereotypical British TV programs ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:29:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/678419 NaNo novel is complete and I feel exhausted. What a ride! I can't believe I have actually written a novel! I am going to leave it a while then forge ahead with my polishing cloth. Only wish I had some booze in to celebrate properly! Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:47:33 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/678027 Less than 4,000 words to go!! Still no idea of the ending! Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:04:04 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677883 Still up to scratch with the word count. I am confident I will finish on time. Words and story twists are flowing more freely now and I have understanding of my characters and their direction. Once its done I will edit it through more draft stages and give it a damn good polish, maybe even extend it towards 60,000 words. Oh well. Back to it!...[Read Full Post] Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:14:49 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677096 Only 602 words short of the 30,000 minimum I should have done by now. Not a bad catch up! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:30:29 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676717
