Third Draft Blues

As you guys will probably know, I am still in the process of writing “the angels of fire” trilogy. For the first novel “The Damnation Plays” I am currently on my third draft. This means that I’ve written two other earlier versions and have slowly streamlined and honed my writing and ideas to make it into a publishable novel. However, I am aware that it won’t all be ready even then because I still need to send it to my trustworthy and friendly beta reader. I’ve written novels before but I’ve never published them. They’re somewhere hiding away in my proverbial attic waiting to see the light of the day.  However, this is different. I am planning to publish the “Angels of fire trilogy”. This brings another different set of pressures upon me as an author because I want to give my readers the best possible experience reading my novel. I’ve also discovered the flaws of my novel whilst writing the third draft. For example, I’ve got a minor character getting hurt in a pivotal scene but in the s...

Introducing new comic - Ruben

I have always been fascinated by the comics as a medium to tell stories. I have always wanted to do a graphic novel once I’ve finished my novels. However, I am aware it takes time and great commitments to get one done. I can draw and write so that’s a bonus. There’s an idea spinning round in my head at the moment and that’s the spinoff for the “angels of fire” series which will focus on a new character who makes his first appearance in the condemnation games. The idea isn’t fully fleshed out and neither are the art works but I decided to upload it up on wordpress anyways. Enjoy and tell me what you think about the “teaser” which I’ve uploaded. I know the colours are bad and the dialogues don’t give too much away but I’ll explain it anyways. It’s about a guy, Ruben, who decides to cut off his engagement, throw the ring away and set up a very “special agency” in the heart of London in a fictional place called Grayeham. Did I forget to mention he has a very beautiful secretary?  

When there's so much to do and not enough hours in the day...

I have been slaving away at assignments from the course I am doing at the moment. It's not surprising then that my writing has taken a backseat. Funnily enough, the assignments has the same hand in date as another professional work I had to hand in. Hence, my hands have been full throughout the week. Furthermore, I have been working all throughout. All this has made me realise what a great thing good time management skills are. I try to plan my time but it is so easy to get distracted by browsing the internet or watching the latest film on TV. On the other hand, I can't wait till I finish everything and have some time for myself. My novel, the damnation Plays is taking shape now that I am on to the third draft. I can't wait for it to be proofread and finished - that will be sweet. The Sequel, the condemnation games is still in the process of being done. However, there had been some parts in which I've been stumbling and wondering which direction the novel is going to go...

Wattpad and Writing

Hi guys, I have finally jumped on the bandwagon that is Wattpad and decided to post a story onit.
