This is it, the final countdown: a mere 100 days remain to the publishing of my long-promised Magnum Opus! I’ll be updating you all fortnightly from now on, so you can share with me the final leg of this journey. As always, I can’t go into too much detail - wouldn’t want to accidentally spoil anything for any of you! - but I can say that, yes, it is definitely going well. Very well indeed. text/html 2019-11-05T01:20:28+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:2?rev=1572916828&do=diff Day 15 A Small Clarification Friends, I must make a small clarification to my post last week. When, in my excitement, I said that “it has finally begun” what I meant was that the end has finally begun – the end of this project which has been months in the making. I did not mean, and I would like to be very clear on this, that I had only just begun my Magnum Opus full stop. I mean, what else could I possibly have been doing all this time, I ask you? text/html 2019-11-19T01:00:58+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:3?rev=1574125258&do=diff Day 29 A Cup of Jo I’ve been spending a lot of time writing in my local coffee shop over the last couple of weeks. I have found the atmosphere really quite alluring. I have to say, while I would of course never give up writing, I watch the baristas behind the counter and I can’t help but think I could be happy there, too. The smell of coffee beans in the air, serving up those little cups of comfort to all these wonderful people text/html 2019-12-03T00:24:15+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:4?rev=1575332655&do=diff Day 43 Writing Begins Well, at last I can say that I'm about to put pen to paper! This is the official notification to all my dear followers and subscribers that writing... has begun! Things are very exciting at the moment, though I can't reveal any spoilers just yet, as you'll have to wait to find out the exciting things that'll be happening. text/html 2020-01-21T01:40:23+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:5?rev=1579570823&do=diff Day 57 Beautiful Dreams I've been having the most peculiar recurring dreams recently, including a strange but beautiful woman I don't recognise. I barely remember the events, which are jumbled as usual, but she stands out. Is she someone I met, but forgot? I don't think I'd forget someone like that. Maybe she's my soulmate? I find myself daydreaming of her too, doodling pictures. I can't quite decide whether I would prefer that she actually exist or not. It would be unnerving, I suppose, but p… text/html 2020-02-04T01:38:19+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:6?rev=1580780299&do=diff Day 71 Curious Strangers I have had a run in with a few interesting people these couple of weeks, they remind me of my students when I used to be under the thumb of the man. A few of them were LARPers (Live-Action Roleplayers, for the less subculturaly inclined), a hobby that I used to enjoy in my younger days, one of them even punched a tree, they seem very dedicated to their narrative. They invited me to join them, but I declined, I don’t have the stamina I used to for activities like that. … text/html 2020-02-18T01:19:45+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:7?rev=1581988785&do=diff Day 85 Strange Sights Everything has seemed just a little off recently. It's just little things that don't look right, or feel too coincidental. I know I'm starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I swear yesterday the birds in the garden started singing along to the tune I was humming. Is that something birds do? I wish I'd caught it on video. text/html 2020-03-03T03:32:46+00:00 https://wip.chaosdeathfish.com/news:jo_blog:8?rev=1583206366&do=diff Day 99 Thanks First of all, I would like to offer an apology to everyone who follows me here on my blog. I was unable to update last fortnight due to a technical problem. Fortunately it seems to have resolved itself and, doubly fortunately, it did not interfere too much with my writing.
