Well, I thought it is time for a make-over, so I did a little plastic surgery on my website – do you like the new look? I love the photo of the header: it is a picture of Darling Harbour with a bit of effect. Thanks to Glenn for the help with the sky

I got more feedback on the latest story I posted on FWO, I don’t think I did very well with this one, perhaps it’s the lack of true fantasy element in the story that drove people from understanding what it was about; that, or I sucked at the delivery of it. Oh well, no matter. It was fun writing it anyway.

Still thinking about mum and her surgery next week… I pray that everything will be okay

That about sums up how I feel today.

I was all dark and moody, trying to swallow my grumpiness all day. I’m not sure why but all I did today at work was putting projects off because I just felt I had not energy to do anything.

I also miss Jules

I hope I feel better tomorrow. It’s my friend’s birthday party after all. I don’t want to ruin it for her.

Please put energy back into me….

Today, I finally finished the chapter I wanted to write for my NiP which was a very difficult chapter.

It’s the scene where two of my main characters, after months and months apart, finally reunite. They both started off two innocent kids with dreams of love and joy and all that sort of stuff, but then they went different directions and experienced all sorts of nasty things that changed them forever, pretty much scarred them for life.

The reunion scene has been playing in my head over and over and over, but everytime I tried to write it, it just felt… wrong. Since the many chapters before this one everything is bleak and dark and full of pain, I really wanted the reunion scene to be playful and happy, despite the fact that they both know — the world will end tomorrow (unless I decide to spare them muahahaha).

I discovered I am better at writing painful scenes than happy ones. I am such a masochistic fool…

But anyway, I finally got something written that I really feel good about! So I am very happy

I can’t wait to share the chapter with my FWO friends; but it’s going to be a while yet as I have only posted up to Chapter 20 there.

Now, the hard part is to write the end of the world scene… argh. But that’s another day’s problem.

Good night all! zzzz….
