Indeed Christmas is now seven days away, and what fun it will be, what with 70 minutes of Titanic based fun with the new Doctor Who and of course presents. :) Looking forward to the presents, asked my parents for a range of books, which I should be reviewing over the next few weeks.
Other than that, going to spend some time painting my miniatures. I am currently playing through the Return of the King sourcebook from Games Workshop and need to get a lot of Knights of Dol Amoroth painted.
Other than that I am going to be working on two things. Getting my book finished is my number one priority, it now stands at 40,000 words which is a lot, however there is still a major rework to comer, and I think it shall now end up being closer to 50,000 and then I am going to send it to publishers, and or agents. Not sure about the latter, but we shall see.
There is a new competition being run by Shizzam magazine for a 3500 steam punk story. I think I am going to enter, but need to think of some ideas first. Got till the end of Feb, so got some time there. Going to replot my vampire novel. Got some great ideas from a friend of mine and so will be throwing them into the mixer.
The final thing I intend to do over Christmas is work on some TV proposals. I have a great idea for some crime stories in the genre of Morse, and Lewis. So intend to get massive amounts of CSI and the rest of Morse in the sales. (Here’s hoping for a buy one get one free offer :) )
Finally I shall leave you with two links. The first is for the author Dave Bishop, stumbled across his blog by accident, he is want I want to be, and that is a free lance writer, and reading his blog, has given me insight into the writing world. The second is Paul Cornell's blog. Now Paul is a Doctor Who writer, having written Father's Day and Human Nature/Family of Blood and by reading his blog, he has got me into some great shows like Heroes, and of course Veronica Mars.
