Plotting thoughts
It’s nice to be reassured that sometimes writing isn’t just putting down the words. It’s also the time taken to think and consider and wonder why the hell this story you’re working on right now just lacks a certain something. Turns out the past few hours or so I’ve had shifting words about, being a little distracted by other things, and tapping my fingers to my temple...

Water and Dust: Yes, yes, there are nine this time...
Continued from here Marc started. The usual excuses came to his mind: it’s late; we should sleep early; the lights and the radio are on. He didn’t need to voice them, though, for in his mind he heard Brendan flick each one of them off with a solid, reasonable rejection. This land was theirs. They didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission, or wait on expectation. They’d...

Week ahead
It is fast approaching Tuesday (and my father’s birthday on this side of the world - Happy Birthday Dad!) and, oop, there it goes, midnight and I’m still up. Was at work today, er, yesterday, unusually, to take notes for a meeting - vaguely disappointed that a certain eye-catching lecturer who usually makes these meetings was not there, but somewhat made up for by another new...

Yes, actually six sentences, and on Sunday too.
More from ‘Water and Dust’. Continued from here Marc looked back at Brendan, whose eyes were still on the sky. “What?” Brendan indicated back onto their land with his head. “This way.” As the dogs settled back to their post, Marc followed Brendan into the trees, he said, “We should be getting back.” Without turning, Brendan said, “For...

Quiet time (but some sentences of 'Water and Dust'...
Been a full on week, and mostly dancing related; Tuesday teaching kicked off again, as did the Wednesday night class I go to, followed by a meeting on Thursday and a very late night dem-ing and helping run a ceilidh at a local barracks on Friday. So today have done little that is productive. Met up with a friend for coffee, and watch Red Road in the morning on LoveFilm instant. Initially had it...

Six, ok, seven more sentences of 'Water and Dust'
No update yesterday due to SOPA blackout, so today, before I settle in for a night of writing (eep…), some more sentences of ‘Water and Dust’. Continued from here The other dogs kept  barking, until Marc, his voice cranky and harsh, barked himself. “Quiet!” The dogs whined, but reluctantly obeyed, and the barking gradually ceased, giving way to heavy panting, and...

Six, ur, nine (um) sentences: Water and Dust
So now this has a title AND plot that it didn’t have before yesterday. It was meant to be a vignette! My brain sometimes, I despair of it (though do enjoy the little surprises it decides to fling up my way too.) Continued from here A rustle through the grass, and Marc’s body stiffened. Brendan’s rifle went up. The dogs barked and leapt around, one making a dash for it from...

How to run a show like an asshole:
Most Show Creators: We'd just like to let all our fans know that we've been signed on for a second AND a third season! Woo-hoo! You guys are great, thanks for all the love and support!
Team Mofftiss: Yeah guys, we've got season two coming. No idea if a third season is in the cards though.
Team Mofftiss: Still no word on a third season. Martin Freeman is busy hobbiting around New Zealand and Benedict Cumberbatch is like a fuckin' superstar now. Idek, guys.
Team Mofftiss: Why does everybody assume there is going to be a third season? It's really not looking likely. I mean, practically everybody dies at the end of season two anyway.
-Reichenbach airs-
Team Mofftiss: LOL YOU FUCKS, WE'VE BEEN SIGNED ON FOR SEASON THREE SINCE THE BEGINNING.

New year, new beginnings, old plans
Ah wow, it’s been too long since I blogged here, and now’s the time to rectify that. Well, I hope. I always tell myself each new year ‘I must blog more, I must blog more’. I’ve made a couple of decisions about my online interaction that should hopefully make that easier. I think I’ve been spreading myself too thin for what I can manage. So that’s one...

Six new sentences for the new year
Going to do a new lot of six sentences daily - I enjoyed doing it before. This time is a piece I have already begun, but I can’t quite figure out what to do with it, so I figure this may be the place to explore a little - with such a short limit of sentences it means I have room to breath as a writer. Not exactly erotica, maybe a little sensual? I’m not overly fond of labeling my work...
