The three week silence is broken.
Not that I wasn’t around. I’ve even been talking to people on Facebook [External Link], Google+ [External Link] and Twitter [External Link]. As well as in real life. Well, I think I’ve been talking to people. I have vague memories of working during the week.
About a fortnight ago was my dad’s birthday and my present was tickets for “Twelfth Night” as performed by Illyria [External Link] at Nostell Priory [External Link], yesterday. This was the third time we’ve been to watch an Illyria production (Three Musketeers in 2009, Pride and Prejudice in 2010) and we enjoyed it again but they didn’t half rattle through Shakespeare! Not one to do unless you’re already familiar with the language, we decided.
The new shared SSS website: [External Link], has the SSSSheffield information up, so – if you’re interested and in the area – let us know!
The suggestion of my own site redesign is still sitting in the back of my head. I’m reluctant to take on any major work for a while but I might slot it in between big writing projects. I’m still tapping away at Part I of The Three Guineveres, my current big project. I’ve got through battle nine of the sequence of twelve and there are some other story arc bits to throw in and / or correct. Once I have Part I drafted out, I think I’ll ask for some beta readers for it and work on redrafting of 25 Ways to Kill A Werewolf – pending a bit more feedback.
As for short works and minor projects: I haven’t heard back from the Shhh! project and I would have heard Friday if I was invited to the next stage, so that hasn’t worked! Beaumains, the kind of noir thing, went out under its working title – and no news yet. And I’ve been putting together a piece currently titled The Bull of Essylt. Again, anyone who knows their Arthuriana probably knows the inspiration. I’m running into a lot of bits and pieces while doing the background work on The Three Guineveres that doesn’t fit into that version but gives me intriguing ideas.
