The Dream | Michael Bunning

http://michaelblog.apps-1and1.net/the-dream

In which my subconscious tries to trick me into pursuing my heart’s desire). That man is not me. But he is asleep, and he does have a beard. Close enough. On Monday morning, I woke up happy, excited and incredibly motivated. By the time I left for work, I’d returned to my usual slump-shouldered husk. (Just kidding about the slump-shouldered husk bit, but much of my initial va-va-voom had gone). All because of a dream. Which is the reason I’m still working, to be honest, as much as I love my job. 8216; tu...

The Wizard Of Willingham | Michael Bunning

http://michaelblog.apps-1and1.net/the-wizard-of-willingborough

The Wizard Of Willingham. Emily thinks as she watches the wizard carrying boxes from a white van into number 109. Perhaps he has brought the sun with him. Wizards can probably do that. They’re magic, after all. They can probably do just about anything. She can’t see his face, though she looks hard at him as she walks to her car. She’s never seen a wizard before, and even from this distance and with only his back visible to her, he’s already confounded her expectations of magicians. Emily doesn’t believe ...

In which I give FREE a chance). That’s what my treasure hoard will look like if this experiment succeeds! This blog post kind of got away from me. The important part of it is this: I’ve uploaded a story for you to read. It’s called. The Wizard Of Willingham. It’s 7,500 words long. Go read it! Now, on with the waffle. Months and months ago, I decided to run an experiment. The Wizard Of Willingham. Through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing scheme, and then waited. So, it’s been sat forlornly on my Am...

After She Wakes | Michael Bunning

http://michaelblog.apps-1and1.net/after-she-wakes

It’s all well and good for nobles to mess around with magic and destiny and True Love’s Kiss, but do they ever consider the effect it has on those around them? Of course not. They don’t even see the common people for the most part. They just assume life arranges itself so that they have fancy food and clean clothes and fanfares when they walk into a room. And nothing ever happens to shake their world. Even this catastrophe hasn’t done them any harm. But we commoners? What are we supposed to do now? Well ...

PC, Xbox 360, PS3. DmC: Devil May Cry is the newest title in the world-famous action series. Players take the role of Dante in an all-new imagining of the character's origin. The game features the series' signature gun and sword combat but adds more weapons, new powers and combat moves, and an all-new interactive environment. This is where we say exactly what I worked on, and include videos of it where possible. PC, Xbox 360, PS3. I worked closely with the lead designer, fleshing out the story concept an...

October | 2013 | Michael Bunning

http://michaelblog.apps-1and1.net/2013/10

Monthly Archives: October 2013. In which I go my own way…). IF FLEETWOOD MAC SAY I CAN, WHO ARE YOU TO ARGUE? Good grief, that’s a bad post title. Misleading, too. It suggests I’m anti NaNoWriMo, when I’m not. Maybe I should just start again. But I’m 30 words in now, so I feel committed. Best just plough through and pretend this never happened. I like the spirit of NaNoWriMo though, so in that spirit, I am dedicating myself to writing at least 250 words of fiction a day during November. That. Well, it tu...

Story: Almost You | Michael Bunning

http://michaelblog.apps-1and1.net/story-almost-blue

It’s so irrational that suicide isn’t covered in the terms of the clone storage banks. We pay enough! Why shouldn’t we both return together, the same age? When Jacob finally did decant, he was so groggy and disoriented that there was no point in me being there. He was looking around as though he didn’t recognise any of us, didn’t know where he was, or even who he was. I had to say his name three times before he realised I was talking to him! Jacob still isn’t himself yet. He’s handling bu...And then six ...

Penny-a-liner | Michael Bunning

In which I earn a crust as a person per hour). Look how romantic I am, starving in my writer’s garret. This is the second version of this post. The first (much longer) one was finished at just before midnight last night. I pressed publish, and WordPress said something had gone wrong. And then the whole post disappeared. No saved draft. Nothing. I was rather irritated, but I guess it’s a good reminder that I ought to cut down on my waffling…]. It’ll give me time to write. I used to do freelance writing be...
