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!

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!
