I have decided that I need an Aztec artifact for the Punk and so I dragged out the huge book on Aztecs that I got purely for the pictures when I went to see an exhibition at the Royal Academy – we had free tickets from my friends dad – people who work on the […]
So I watched The Great Elizabethan Journey or part of anyway as it wasn’t playing right and had to be sent back but I did pick up a few fun facts from it! The premise of the documentaries was that an Elizabethan dude basically toured the UK and wrote the first ever tourist guide at […]
So I have a world for my Punk to inhabit and the Punk herself and a few plot devices but erm… I actually still have no plot – all I have is constraints 🙁 So basically I am writing this post to try and work out what’s going to happen in the story and why! […]
