Pervy voyeuristic sponges
Nov. 1st, 2007 11:03 amYou can download a sample chapter from Nobody's Children at the Big Finish Web site. It's the first chapter. Of the first novella. Mine. Which means it's the sex scene. He he he he he. I die now.
NOBODY'S CHILDREN

Bernice Summerfield: Nobody's Children is now available for order! It's a novel told in three novellas, two by Jon and I, and one by Philip Purser-Hallard. Writing it was an absolute blast and I think we came up with some pretty cool storytelling. |
The Quiet Game
Jul. 27th, 2007 06:32 pmI can has three chapters (an anaemic 10,000 words) and enough plot for a synopsis. (But no clean gym clothes, apparently. *(%*%^)
To my surprise, Racewank '07 is directly affecting the novel, forcing me to recognise what might have been an embarrassing cockup with one of the characters. Last week we did proofreading for Nobody's Children, and I recognised input from lots of the stuff I've been reading, eg Orwell's description of a warzone, a UXB expert's observation from Ordinary Decent Criminals, and so on. It's nice to see my writing's a little more sophisticated than it used to be, both the plotting and my always vague comprehension of the real world.

(no subject)
Jan. 4th, 2007 01:41 pmTo help with my Big Finish Benny novella, All Mimsy Were the Borogoves, I'm re-reading my 1996 Doctor Who novel Return of the Living Dad. There's too much repetition, too many in-jokes, too many characters, and far too many POV shifts, but the prose is generally holding up all right. There are certain similarities with the new show: the emphasis on relationships, the self-awareness - and it's tempting to think that the NAs influenced RTD's thinking, but I suspect that more than anything both books and show are products of their times.
War Stories
Dec. 21st, 2006 12:50 pmJon and I are both writing novellas for War Stories, a Bernice Summerfield book from Big Finish which will be published next year. The third story in this collection of three linked novellas is by Philip Purser-Hallard. Mine's called All Mimsy Were the Borogroves, I'm 7,000 words deep into the 25,000 words total, and I'm having a ball. :-)
