Research

Monday, October 5th, 2009

As part of my research for my NaNoWriMo novel I have set myself the task of watching all the Elizabethan dramas, comedies, documentaries that I can lay my hands on. This means I have highjacked the family love film account and taken no prisoners! I have also been to the local liberary, been talking to […]

erm… Cyber-Punk?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

When I started with this storyline concept I knew I wanted The Punk in Pink to be a cyberpunk novel as I have always wanted to write scifi horror stuff but tended towards distopian close futures or alternated societial structures and then I tended to write them in a style remaniscent of The Big Sleep […]

An Elf Conspiracy

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

The elves in my nanowrimo story are going to be viscous waring, sentimental thinkers too wit humans who live along time with slightly higher if more narrow brain functions than ‘normal’ humans. They are divided into groups who bicker and war against each other. Once they ruled but they fought a war and were brought […]

An Elf

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Well The Punk in Pink is an elf-human half bred, the elves in question are another higher primate. Sort of like Cro-Mangon Man and Neandethals. They are close enough to cross bred but not close enough to produce viable offspring. This means the Punk is infertile but as the second homo-sapien type race ages alot […]

NaNoWriMo Reset

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Today is the day the Nanowrimo forum and stuff is back up and running after their reset – I purposefully haven’t been using it until today because I didn’t want to have to save threads and stuff. I’m still new to the interface of the site so may take a little while to become associated […]

Word Count

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I have decided to aim for 2000 words a day. The goal of NaNoWriMo is 50, 000 words in a month which breaks down too 1667 words a day. But if I do 2000 a day instead then I leave myself some scope for when things go wrong ie family visiting and stuff like that! […]

Chimera

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Ok so I need the Punk in Pink to be in existence centeries apart without time travel – the options? 1) Vampire 2) Alien or old technologically advanced race that has cryo-suspension or something similar 3) Similar to 2) but is a concousness that downloads or uploads itself into new bodies 4) A demon 5) […]

Discrepancies

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I have been doing some research into this local legend of the Bisley boy and have found that the age of the princess Elizabeth ranges from 8 to 12 and then there is some confussion as to how soon after she died the King decided to visit her. Bram Stoker (as in Dracular) wrote this […]

Girl Boy Girl?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Having talked to various people about The Punk in Pink being the boy who ends up as Queen Elizabeth I – I have hit upon the idea that the young boy who is turned into a princess is in fact a girl who is dressed as a boy to avoid unwanted attention and to be […]
