A Very Neston Xmas

Fri Dec 18, 2009, 3:53 AM
  • Mood: Yearning
  • Listening to: The Snow Falling
  • Reading: Where the Wild Things Are
I've been super busy recently, and have found relatively little time to get on with the Neston project... I have now produced a diary with the general plot spread out across the pages, and as I am fleshing it out I am filling it all in, so eventually there will be a physical copy of the journal.

There will be a run of entries in the next three weeks that tell the story of a Christmas that Neston documented in 1996. There will be a KEY plot point revealed on Boxing Day (entry - not necessarily published then, I may still be merry) which will sort of end Act 1, even though we won't know why... complex, but I'm working on a way to make it less of a tease without presenting an open book. The journal will run from early 1995 to mid-1997 with a LOT happening in the early part of '97 and the hope is that this Christmas set of entries will set up the option to publish from either period.

Am considering building an A.R. blog as well to support the projct, which will be hosted and written my the narrator. This should fill in some gaps and provide more information on our mysterious vocalist. THis won't be launched until March next year though, as I want it to feel 'lived in' before revealing the address. Hope that wasn't too much of a tease.

Other news...

Well the Head of the school at which I am a governor is retiring this week, and the last few months have been filled with a flurry of meetings, emails and appointments to try and fill the position with someone as exceptional. We haven't found the ideal candidate yet, so the SMT members will fill the role temporarily... allowing us to say goodbye to someone I condsider and inspiration and a friend.

The kids are doing well, and I haven't gotten forcibly divorced yet, so I must be doing something right... lol

I'm not a fan of Christmas, but I do wish well to others, in particular those of you who have followed me over the years. I hope you have a super holiday time!

Oh and - ENGAGE CHEEKY MODE - if anyone is renewing their DV Pro membership and wants to support a little artist with big ideas feel free to name me asa gift recipient... ;) I'll make it well worth your while... you will effectively own me. :D

A photographer who is never happy with the results and a writer who uses far too many commas does not make for a good artist. But hell, I enjoy the ride.

To colonize, to claim, to control and contain
We sat patiently in the future, helpless

"abandoned"!!!

It's a small little old shop, protected by local laws that stop us 'modernising' it.

In fact I think all of Wisbech has a similar rule.
