Hi!
It's been a while, and it's been a frustrating while.
You see, the second half of the book hasn't truly come together yet; I feel that there is something missing from this all (despite it being 254,000 words already), and I think I've found the final pivotal piece of the puzzle.
Yes, you there in the back? A question? No, I'm not telling you what it is! :-P You can read the book when it comes out like everyone else! Sheesh....curious people... ^^
Doubtless, this...reforming of the second half will alter things; the word count will probably slim down, which will make me feel less like I'm just writing for the hell of writing, which I didn't think I was!!! Some authors make that mistake; I hope I'm not.
I guess I'll be burning the midnight oil from now on, should the Muse permit me to do so.
-gulp-
I don't know if this revelation will help or hinder me, but it's actually the first solid breakthrough I've had for like, two months, so I'll go with it!
It may also completely alter the shape of my characters and their lives- not to sound morbid, because I'm not G.R.R. Martin, but this might not have a beautiful fairytale ending after all. But it all depends on what my characters have to say abut it...
BOOK: Weeeeelllll...I think I've got a new timeline to establish, to be honest.
RESEARCH: I have full access to libraries currently, so if anything pops up, I'll look it up! ^^ I bought a book called Greatest Land Battles, and...it completely skipped the Hundred Years' War.
Whassmatta- the Battle of the Herrings isn't good enough for a book?!
KNITTING: After two months' of nonsense and footling round with yellow wool...I've decided on garter stitch. It was rather a matter of shape, and I am still learning, after all.

Lesson 01
University sucks.
Wellllll…it’s ok.
I have survived Week 01, Year 05. Usual crowds jostling for space on campus and in the buses. Ugh. I will be glad when about 20% of those cretins drop out of uni in about 3 weeks’ time.
And if I see one more pair of artfully torn jean shorts with someone’s pink polka dot undies shining through, I’ll be unable to resist the temptation to pinch that arse! Not because I’m interested, mind you, but honestly! If fashion is going so far downhill, why not just attend class in your underwear?!
Ahem.
It’s been a long week.
I have to adjust back into the university way
... Hi there.
Yes, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?
My holidays started in November, and since then, Time has stopped moving. Much like the Mad Hatter, I killed Time, and thus have got no work done.
-scratches head-
I really couldn’t say what happened! It just…4 months whizzed by, like that! –snaps fingers-
I baked and laughed and loved and wrote and knitted (hint hint, pattern links are in my profile, dudes. Check ‘em out!), but the book isn’t done. I expected, with not a little arrogance, that 4 months would be plenty of time- that the book would simply finish itself! Well…no. That really didn’t ha
Ok, so it's been a while . . .
I’ve had a lot to do recently, uni-wise, and then there was that feverish 2 weeks of no sleep and lots of knitting…Feel free to see the results in my gallery- it’s the big red shawl ^^
BUT, now I’m on holidays, so… BOOK TIME!
BOOK: From today onwards- Deviants, start your engines!
I’m going to finish this thing, and I swear it’s gonna be before the end of this year!
….otherwise, my sister will laugh at me. And point. A lot.
RESEARCH: Not much to do- I borrowed out Kieckhefer’s books again, just so I properly understand medieval magic. It’s a hard topic…
KNITTING: Wel
Consummation
I've had a lot on recently. Uni…knitting. Book.
It's drawing towards the end of the semester, where very conveniently (sarcasm) I have put my book deadline. I haven't got buckets of time, but I'm getting there. The book is making slow, casual progress, and the gods themselves only know if I will get this book done in time. And suddenly it's hit me, after a short night of sweaty, delirious nightmares: what will consume me first?
I was dreaming that I was bleeding out, with no way to stop it; people were advocating cannibalism as a lifestyle choice. My subconscious fears being consumed, and one could argue that I fear my own expectations rega
