Today

[erastes]

Windows live writer have updated it to look like Word. THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT, BILL. I can't fucking FIND anything. I hate-hate-hate-HATE not having menu bars. I don't want to have to look at all the pictures and work out what they all mean.

Other than cooking today (also made a mutton stew for Dad for the next 2 days while I'm not here)(with dumplings) I have started on the revising of Chiaroscuro. I need to add at least another 10k to the plot but first I'm going through it to implement all the things that I know Carina don't like. Contractions, filter words, semi-colons… It's actually not as full of these problems as Muffled Drum was—seems I've learned bad habits over 3 years. They may not take it, anyway, but I should be able to sell it somewhere—I hope. I really like the story, it's just a shame it hasn't done well up to now.

I also finished the video for Mere Mortals – so enjoy!  I'm a little pleased with this one!

Oooooooooooh. Moody!

I like this a lot, honey. It has a very professional feel to it.

One suggestion - the print goes by awfully quickly.

Where are the Crisps!? You're missing the pivot point of the story!

The trailer is fantastic! Love the dark background music and the images you picked. You ain't half a dab hand at vidding!

Thank you! The Window Livewriter Movie Maker did all the pretty cinematic stuff - and changed all the pictures into the same tone, so it really was a case of getting the music to fade in at the right time - i'm glad you liked it!
