August 31st, 2010 (12:47 pm). C and I are just not good at dates. 02-08-02 (yes, we picked that date partially because it would be easier to remember) was the day of our wedding party in Denmark. 09-08-98 was the day we "met" on ICQ. And we forgot both dates! This weekend C vaguely remembered something about "didn't we meet online in August? And then I remembered the party in August. Our real wedding anniversary is in November. 09-11-01 or 911, as we like to say. :p. Orlando and Lia are playing*. Posted ...

Nightspore » Sherlock meets Doctor Who
http://www.nightspore.com/sherlock-meets-doctor-who
Reflections on fantasy, SF, writing, music, technology, life…. Sherlock meets Doctor Who. Having thoroughly enjoyed the start of the new Sherlock series on New year’s Day, I was intrigued by the article in the Guardian. About how Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, writers for both Sherlock and Doctor Who, need to beware of catering too much for the obsessive fan base and not for the broader audience.

Confessions of a Catnip Eater. June 15th, 2015. 07:39 pm - Yay(? The new shiny laptop is here. It seems pretty cool so far, and I hope it will last more than the previous one. Of course, I have to download and install everything, track down bookmarks and stuff, but hey, what best excuse to avoid writing? June 15th, 2015 09:09 pm (UTC). June 16th, 2015 05:17 am (UTC). Thanks. :) It's going well so far, but I'm still doing tons of fine-tuning. June 15th, 2015 11:24 pm (UTC). June 16th, 2015 05:18 am (UTC).

Reflections on fantasy, SF, writing, music, technology, life…. Archive for the 'Fantasy' Category. Gender bias in fantasy characters. May 09th, 2016 Category: Fantasy. A couple of months ago, I highlighted a list of “the best fantasy series”. As always, such lists are personal opinions. However, a writer friend from the SFF Online Writers Workshop, Kathryn Jankowski. On how ” very male-protagonist oriented” the list was and offered another list to balance this. I have just come across a blog post. I am c...

Reflections on fantasy, SF, writing, music, technology, life…. So now we have ‘book trailers’. I never thought I would see a book trailer but this one – brought to my attention courtesy of the OWW Forum – is a hoot. It publicises a collection of short stories by B J Novak, the American actor and comedian who co-produced and acted in the US version of “The Office”. February 10th, 2014 Category: Humour.

Reflections on fantasy, SF, writing, music, technology, life…. Now Nightspore is a dot com! Up until recently, the “nightspore.com” web address has been unavailable. I had been beaten to the post. However, the previous owner did not renew it so it became available. Fortunately, I was sufficiently quick off the mark to get it and am making www.nightspore.com the primary site.

http://www.nightspore.com/first-draft-of-novel-completed-in-a-month-with-nanowrimo
Reflections on fantasy, SF, writing, music, technology, life…. First draft of novel completed in a month with NaNoWriMo. 30 November and lunchtime today I wrote the final scene of the first draft of my second novel – tentatively titled “Nightspore’s Angel” – almost 55K words in one month. Never though I could sustain 1k words a day, let alone average almost 2K and have occasional peaks of 3K and 4K. The spur, of course, was participating in NaNoWriMo. Caroline’s Scrivener template.
