I'm at war. Well technically the alliance I am in, in Ikariam, is at war. My fellow Argonauts (That's the name of our alliance) are attacking, but due to me being several days travel away (Ships really do take their time) I’m not doing too much, at the moment, but I am preparing for the inevitable counter attack.
This leads me onto the next port of call, which is also war based. This is my new army for Warhammer. I have decided to take the plunge and collect a Chaos Warrior army. I already have a unit of twelve warriors armed with hand weapons and shields, which I am going to try and paint over this coming weekend. Photos will be posted, as and when the unit is finished. I also have plans for a monstrous demonic mount for my Lord to ride into battle on.
I have been replotting my vampire novel. If you’re very good, I may put up the original plot. However the new version is looking good and I am looking forward to getting to the actual writing part. I’m far too impatient for my own good.
My tv show is coming along. I am still at the 20 page mark because I have been thinking about how to show the next set of scenes, which is all about a raid and so I have been mulling over lots of ideas. I could go for a heavy CG or Model route or the opposite and go for a light CG route. So many choices.
Thinks that’s about it for the moment.
If you are very good, I may post a bit of a short story for you all to read, or not.
Cyas.

Big games part 2
So, mission week has begun and that means that the Warhammer Event has occurred. The event was basically designed for people, whether kids or adults, to turn up and play. So, I ran a LOTR based game with Aragorn leading a force of men, elves and dwarves against a Ringwraith and Orcs of Mordor. The event was well attended and everyone I spoke to enjoyed it. So I am glad that is over.
Speaking of big games: the european championship have now started. In fact as I type this France are playing Romania. Twenty minutes have passed and the French are looking poor. Who am I tipping to win. Well, seeing as England are not participating I am going to go for either Germany, who won 2-0 yesterday against Poland yesterday, or Italy who are playing the Netherlands tonight. As long as Portugal don't win thought I will be happy.
I have been working on my TV script i've reached the twenty page mark. Another 30/35 to go at least. I then intended to write a treatment for the rest of the series. This treatment will include what happens in three series and so I have a lot of work to put in. I am slowly working on the plot for my Vampire novel. I've been working on it for two years now, mainly for the stop start nature I have used. However I am now motivated to finish it. Shall keep you informed.
Anyway as I said, I am watching footy and so I am off. See you in a couple of days.

P.S. I am trying to update this every couple of days now. Well, I will try. Whether I do or not is we will find out.

So its been a while again
Hello
I'm useless at keeping this blog up todate. In my defence I have been busy playing a game called Ikariam. Its basically Civilisation but in real time, more or less. Its great fun building up empires and watching my mighty city of Bagdonia come a world player. Join me or ikariam.com and on world Epislon. Drop me a message, I'm called Bagdonia.
In terms of work. I'm still waiting to hear about my book. It's called The Fall of Assurance and in true DWM style it contains the words Clare, Monster, and Matthew. Not very exciting words but I am at work at the moment and can't remember anything more exciting than that.
I've begun work on a new tv project. I am a bit exicted about it, but I have a lot of work to do for it. If I can only find time to put some work in. I also have a secodn idea which is going to need even more work, or it will turn out like Spaced.
On the reading stand has been Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Not really sure what I thought about this book. It's a story about a project to introduce Salmon in to the waters in Northern Yemen, which by all accounts (so says the book) is impossiable. It was written in an intresting style. Some of it was done from diray extracts, other are personal emails and so on. In the end I read the book in less than 24 hours and enjoyed it. I felt the ending was a little rushed, but this does not distract from my own personal enjoyment of the book.
I've been watching Alias (which I am sure I've mentioned before) and I am onto Season 4. I feel a bit let down by series 4 but I am only half way through and I've heard that it picks up. Also watching the OC, more on that in another post.
Later tonight I am roleplaying and so will blog how that goes, tomorrow.
