Dracula sequel – “The Un-Dead”

It is the year of Dracula whether you like it or not. That’s right, 2009 sees a sequel to the classic 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker hitting the shelves with a film version also on its way. But will it be any good? First of all, Un-Dead will be written by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew.

The Best Job In The World

Welcome to 2009!

This is the first time this year I’ve felt human enough to attempt a blog so forgive me if the subject
matter seems a little weak. I think the (proper) holiday I’ve been threatening for four or so years beckons – a battery recharge is required and no mistake. I know, I know, 2009 has to be the year when I start to act and DO things. Enough of me though, there’s something a lot more important going down…

Let’s not Fallout. Here, have a drink.

It finally feels like Christmas which is nice. I had a few drinks on Friday and it was pretty cool (while still embarrassing in places), but I was knackered before I started. Yesterday (Saturday) was mainly sitting around playing Fallout 3 and today hasn’t been much different! I have had a chance to do a bit thinking about my story though. I have an annotated manuscript back from one of our group and it is awesomely helpful – now I can fix things that are broken and/or aren’t as clear as they could be in my story. Despite the fact that I was feeling pretty crappy after giving it out (I rushed to get it out the door and… well I’m gonna stop going on about it, cos that’s not helping!) Long and short is – the feedback made me feel pretty good and now I’m happy to go back and edit things.
