I have arrived at an interesting point. During the course of my editing I came across a part of the story that I wrote quite some time ago. When I opened the file I discovered that it was far too large for a single chapter …
Read MoreSlave to the Grind
With my purse-strings cut I have found need of returning to full-time employment once more. While this is an unfortunate and frustrating turn of events it was not entirely unexpected. Much of my editing is (again) to take place upon subways and stairwells. I shall …
Read MoreFull Circle
So, my journey has come to an end and I find myself once more upon these distant shores (well… that does depend upon where you measure it from I suppose). The time within England was both enjoyable and well spent. I was able to see …
Read MoreIn search of Albion
I have very nearly completed the reworking of five additional chapters. Three of those were, in part, half-finished from before I turned to rewriting the opening of the book. The last of these chapters should be finished in but a few hours time. It was …

This portrait was drawn shortly before I drew Krithian’s. As before, the initial drawing is pencil upon card with the background ‘grime’ coming from a used white-board eraser being (purposefully) dragged across the surface after it was finished. This character does not appear in the …
Read MoreNew Leaves
So does my tale begin, or perhaps I should say, so does a new ‘chapter’ begin within in my tale. This is certainly true in more ways than one. For those of you that do continue to wander by these pages from time to time …
Read MoreThe thousand page mark…
I spend less and less time attending to this blog it seems. In truth, it was only meant to serve as an occasional record of my own progress. While there are a few that do return now and then to see if anything new has …
Read MoreMarch of the Pigs
A belated Happy New Year to anyone happening across this blog. Myself, I have never really seen the point in New Year’s Eve. It doesn’t hold any special meaning to me as do some of the other festivals that occur throughout the year. Perhaps it …
