Did a fair bit of writing over the weekend, despite some distractions and shopping. I felt it went well, with it now being longer than The Whitby Ripper and the end is still not in sight. A fair bit still to write. It is in the first person perspective, my least favourite type, but the nature of the tale demands it and I think it is coming out well.
But that is just my perspective.
More later.

Nothing really has happened to me since my last blog.
Still writing.

x-ray eyes
I was at work today, thinking how to develop my next short story when I suddenly thought of the 1963 Roger Corman film The Man with X-ray Eyes with Ray Milland, and remembered that years ago I thought it would have been better that after Milland's character had ripped his eyes out, he would say 'I can still see!'
Years later, a couple years ago, I read in a movie magazine that the producers had thought of that ending but thought it was too horrifying for the audience of the time. Pity.
Just idle thoughts during a boring day. Work is slacking at the moment, not many orders coming in.

new story
I have just completed a new short story, The Whitby Ripper, mostly a police detective tale until the end, with a double-whammy ending.
I may have completed it, but I may not have finished it yet. I will give it a few days. maybe longer and come at it fresh and see if it needs a re-edit or any embellishing.
I will not submit this yet, as this is intended as the first of a themed collection of tales. I would have finished this weeks ago, except my father died. Fortunately, only the ending needed doing and I had mapped out the ending in my head first. It was the lead up to the end which I had to work on, and that was mostly finished before my father died.
A deep breath and on to the next one.

happy birthday!
Happy birthday to me!
Celebrated with a Thai take-a-way, a number 35 with egg fried rice. Very nice.
I should try to write more, but my concentration is all over the place.
I am new to blogging, so this blogger will develop slowly over the days, weeks and months to come.
Years ago, I tried to keep a diary, but couldn't stick with it. Let's see how this blog develops, then.

first blog
Tuesday 7th September, my blog created and this is my first blog!
Nothing else to add, really.
Tomorrow is my birthday but I'm not in a celebratory mood, still down from the death of my father.
