Oh dear, the title says it all really.
Must kick my own behind tomorrow and get over the 25k mark and stop using a sore foot as an excuse. Yes, I am tired and yes it hurts, but hello WORD COUNT!!
I wouldn’t mind but I am at a very exciting part of the story… its just not keeping my momentum going and, well, it should.
Tomorrow is a new day…. 🙂
So, off to bed. An early night I need some sleep. Will report soon.

Wow, I have to admit this week has been a toughie. It is very hard to attempt to crank out loads when you’ve not only been up at 5am, but have come home, done your jobs, cooked dinner and then settled down.
The best time for writing for me, is between 4pm and 6pm two hours usually of un interrupted work. Sometimes I have had the odd distraction, like my mum. The joy of living with her (granny annex) is that we can see each other anytime we like. But, it can disrupt the flow.. lol
However, overjoyed hit the 20k mark.
The story is going good. I have struggled with one part though, (yes although sci fi,) yesterday my characters had to deal with the loss of an un-born child. I’ve had friends go through this and can only sympathize because I haven’t been through it myself. So it was hard to write about, and hard to deal with.
I can only hope that I have handled it the way that my characters would want me too. And that in the continuing parts of their story that they can deal with it and learn to carry on and live. Perhaps with the prospect of conceiving again someday.
I do believe with all my heart that even though a story is set in the future, that the situations people/aliens encounter are true to life. And I hope that perhaps if someone reads it one day, they might learn a little about how and why these things occur and gain some support even through my my imagination.
Anyway, only a quick one, late here and I am exhausted.
Next hit hopefully 30k over the weekend. Well we all have to have goals right. 🙂

Today has been a day of contemplation.
We went out early to get some pipework for the ponds. But came away empty handed as one part alone was almost £50. We’ve re-designed how we’re going to do it now, due to cost.
I’ve had some of my baby koi for sale on Ebay, and only had a few interests, this is the wrong time of year really, so I’m pulling them off till next year.
————————————–
As I said writing wise, due to a computer malfunction and being just plain exhausted, I’ve had a bit of a break. I need to get back into it. So, blogging helps. Frees the mind and allows me to start to think and process things once more.
I’ve finally had my feed-back from Script-Pipeline, mis-understanding and crossed wires there I think. But I have something to work on.
Jaime has been doing a fantastic job as Animator with The Secret King, so we’ll hopefully move forward a little more. With the goal for next year to enter into some comps.
I should be excited, but I’ve felt so lost with things this last few months that I haven’t been allowing myself the time to be excited. Well, contemplation over and time to move on.
New plan of action… Stick with the Animation Pilot, get that as nailed as we can.
Even typing these words, I feel more and more excitement. Need to get the adrenalin going more though… 🙂
What I plan on doing as we build TSK up, is to post some concept work. To really get people interested in the story, the characters and the way the world works.
If you’ll allow me some time. We can build and work on this world together. And maybe if I can create enough ‘fans’ we will have something solid to take to the animation fest’s 🙂
Will keep you posted…
