Uni, Spain and River
Sunday, 11 May 2008 00:21:30

Uni ends on 22nd of May for me meaning that I can get to grips with my fanfic. I went on holiday to Spain for a week with a friend it was great although I don't remember asking River to come along. She came anyway. everywhere I went she was there, new lines of dialogue in my head or looks on her face, it could have been the booze but, I'm not convinced I think it was her character and the wonderful world of firefly. Any thoughts. Got better days #2 the other day and loved it.

I missed my 2nd anniversary!

I've been lurking about this place for two years. How about that? Granted, I've been slow to post recently (say the last six months or so!) but that's not to say that I've lost interest or even stopped writing. I'm just trying to craft something beyond a basic scene or two. Part of my head lives out in the Black permanently, I suppose. I'm waiting on the collected 'Better Days' at present - you want the good stuff, go to the source - and retooling my 'Zen' sequel. I've got a little jammed with the start-up, because I've taken it in a different direction to the original conception. But I've also been working on a little something else, a collaborative affair. Yep, there's someone out there as mad as I am; the fun bit will be finding out if you guys can spot the joins when our unwieldy monster lurches onto the scene and starts ripping it up. In RL, still have no kitchen, and a house that looks like, well, the shipyard Mal got 'Serenity' from. Only dustier. And with more saucepans. The Black seems like a good place to be at the mo.

New to this, but avid and life long fan of Firefly/Serenity. All i can say is that it was an awesome show, and i want to see more.

Old ideas.. Fresh outlook..

On Thursday night, I decided to be spontaneous and draw something from my imagination. No reference photos were used in its production. Although, I might have been subconsciously channelling ‘number thirteen’ at one point, while watching the latest episode of House MD. Ahem.. *Clears throat.* Luckily, I managed to get away from that aesthetically pleasing likeness, and stuck to my original concept. Hang in there.. This is all relevant.. Lately, I’ve been toying with the resurrection of my first ever original story. (All of this short story writing for the sci-fi magazine has resparked old, powerful ideas.) This is something that goes back at least nine years now, when I was still at college. The notion of creating my own universe and cast of characters has never really left me, no matter how much I try to move on.. Back then, I wanted to write a sci-fi drama that was set in the present day. Something with paranormal undertones that hadn't already been done to death. However, the whole thing never got off the ground. The characters that I'd created, however, stuck with me. I decided to revisit my characters through the medium of art, just to see if I could rekindle that old creative buzz. This is an old process that I can still remember doing all those years back. But, I feel that the passage of time, and some more life experience will help me look at this in a slightly more focused manner now. Plus, my art has changed a lot since then. So, on Thursday night, I envisaged my main character, after a long hiatus. I honestly feel more comfortable having another crack at figuring everything out. There's something deep inside that won't let this go, and I've come to accept that. (A typical writer's mentality, perhaps.) I've enjoyed rediscovering the appearance of these 'old friends', so to speak. So, here's the sketch in question. Once again. I used no reference, and it's purely from my imagination. I think that I've finally nailed the likeness that's been floating around in my noggin all of these years. The running joke is that I'd been envisioning Evangeline Lilly long before she came into the public eye. :) This is my main protagonist, called Tasha. (I hope to sketch the next main character 'Christian' soon.)

Saw OMR Saturday night. Even though I know the episode almost word for word, I still laugh like it's the first time when ...well, all through the episode. At the end, when Mal visits Inara,and compliments her on how graceful she is.... what a great scene. Mal: " I knew you let her kiss you " Inara: Priceless look of speechless disbelief. :biggrin:
