I'm on holiday in the Isle of Wight with Jac, his dad and dad's girlfriend, and her seven year old son, Dylan. Dylan's an absolute sweetheart; he and Jac have only just met, and already you can see how much he looks up to him.

So we pulled up last night at the place we're staying at, and it's this darling cottage with a little arched front door like ( Read more... )

+ Job interview on Thursday; only 8 hrs, but it's something.

+ Alton Towers on Saturday; Jac doesn't know it yet but he's going to be dragged on Oblivion before the day is done. >:)

+ Chapter 21 of A&A is done; enjoy! ♥

Chapter 20's finished and posted. :)

Link! Enjoy!

I was writing for A&A today and hit a dead end. I'm at this place where, I know vaguely what I want to happen, I just can't work out the best way to get there.

Anyway, in an attempt to combat my block, I started to have a play on Corel with the intention of illustrating the scene. I knew I wouldn't get anywhere close to a finished image, being so ( Read more... )

It doesn't feel like even nearly a entire year, and yet time's dragged by so slowly without you. This time last year, you were living your last few hours on this Earth. I was getting ready to go stay with the girls at Wordsworth for a flat viewing with Her Royal Cleanliness on the Monday morning. I hadn't managed to make it to the London trip when ( Read more... )

The task at hand was a clear one, and she had no desire to burden her love with the gravity of it. She’d go it alone, she’d decided; if it worked, it’d save Gabriel the worry of the wait, and if it didn’t...

Well, it won’t come to that, she reassured herself, instilled with faith in God. It all makes sense now, Audrey thought. He’s endured so much ( Read more... )

I returned to writing for Arms & Armistice today. I’ll be posting updates both here and on Tumblr, though for some of the longer ones it may be a link there to the post here. It’s been a while, so in case you’ve forgotten, this is where we left off: Chapter 19. Now, here’s the beginning of the next installment; enjoy!

Audrey stirred as another day ( Read more... )

Jac and my dad are watching Legion, right now. Without me.

I asked Jac earlier if he'd like to watch it with me, because I want to refresh my memory in preparation for getting back to A&A. So we put the disc in and started getting drinks and stuff together, and Dad decides he wants to watch it too. I sit down waiting for everyone to be ready, and ( Read more... )

Right. Here are my New Years' Resolutions of 2012:

+ Draw more. A LOT more.

It used to make me incredibly happy and it's an old friend I've fallen out of touch with. I plan to do this by starting not only a new art journal, but also an Illustration Friday archive. I've already got both sketchbooks -- the journal is a salmon pink, hardback one I ( Read more... )

So glad to be getting away from this shithole for five whole days. :) Well, I'll be back for one shift at work the day after Boxing Day but I'll be getting the train straight back home again.

Christmas is going to be epic this year, I'm so excited! :D Usually it's just the four of us but this year for Christmas dinner there's going to be me, Mum, ( Read more... )
