Work on By Erie's shore is still ongoing and proving somewhat of a tough nut to crack. I am having some issues with the framing and pacing of certain scenes as well as handling the cast as we head towards the end. Just making sure I tie up as many of the plotlines as possible.
Unfortunately this means it will probably be a while until the next part ( Read more... )

Why is that things can puttle alone with out any problems until you actually need to use them. Managed to get quite a bit of writing done despite the best karmic efforts of my computers to persuade me otherwise. My computers have generally been pretty well behaved but the past week has been like seeing three buses turn up at the same time ( Read more... )

For those still interested I have recently managed to start writing "By Eries shore" again.  You can blame the usual suspects, real life in the form of a nightmare six months at work and a somewhat annoying logic gap which precipitated writers block.

Other than Halfrek and Anyanka do we know the names of any of the other vengeance demons? I think one was mentioned in the episode where they were all stuck in a house or the wedding episode.

Well real life and a general fatigue has slowed down my writing a fair bit recently. However, that slow down has proved useful in another way. It's forced me to reappraise whether I am over planning my fics. On some days I have struggled to write portions and yet on other days when inspiration has hit me and I have disregarded my plan, I have been ( Read more... )

 For those very few looking for the next chapter of 'By Erie's Shore' this was delayed by the weekends football. I know it should have gone up on Thursday but pre game stress meant I didn't manage to update the chapter based on the notes sent back from my beta. Hopefully it should be up in the next couple of days.

Mind you it might mean that I ( Read more... )
