Upcoming Writing (2009-12-29) / fiction is fun
This is related to the last update I had
on my writing projects, and offers a small glimpse of what is to come.
In the full article I have some details on what I'm planning to do to
expand my short story,
A Snake in the Garden of Eden,
as well as a very small excerpt from my planned micro-fiction series
The Ark, and a concept pitch
for another series of short fiction called Gates.
If you like short science fiction stories, read the rest.
This is a short update. Two items to mention, both of which I will expand
upon on Saturday. First off, Torchwood: Children of Earth kicks ass! It's
totally amazing. Only two more days and I'll be able to give a better review
of the series, but so far it's surpassed my expectations. Lovin' it!
Okay, the second thing: A Snake in the Garden of Eden has been updated (three new chapters for your entertainment).
The short story that I've been working on for two years,
and I'm finally nearing completion.
In the Scrawl-land, I've officially stopped working on Bloodline.
It's done, over, kaput.
It was a neat idea, but I can't connect with it anymore. Maybe one day
I'll pick it up again and continue, but for now, it's finished. I've also put
Hard City on ice, but this is temporary. I do intend to finish episode 2,
and possibly add a few more episodes to complete the "season". In the case of
Hard City, it will not be renewed for a second season.
That will wait until I'm done Snake... though.
In furthur writing related news, I do have a project that will be similar to
Hard City in context, but that takes place in the Snake universe.
It may start before I finish Hard City, so be on the lookout for
The Ark.
"We take English for granted but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. There is no egg in eggplant, no ham in hamburger, no apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads which aren’t sweet, are meat.” Victor Lownes
Okay, so I'll admit, I've seen the new episode already (the leaked copy) but
I'm not going to write a review until I've seen the broadcast version, in case
there are any differences. Now, I do want to say I absolutely LOVE it. It's great. This is Doctor Who for the 21st century.
