parakletos's blog: Its been nearly a year but its nearly there.....

    Mornings had always been Harry’s favourite part of the day. No matter how controlled or scripted his life had been, he’d always taken the trouble to wake before the appointed time and today was no exception.

    parakletos's blog: Getting back into a rhythm

      I've been back at work now for two weeks and in some ways it's been very difficult for me. Its been a long time since I've had to go into the same office day after day. The fact that there's a lot of work required to set up systems and such whilst trying to generate appointments and ultimately income.

        parakletos's blog: An general update

          Well, I have my new job and now I have a start date which is this coming Monday.

          I've done bits and pieces of writing in my enforced holiday including working on 2 original pieces. I read part of one to some one and they liked it so I'm encouraged to continue.

          I'm going to be commuting by train again so I'm looking at stuff I can read on my phone. Does anyone know how to convert documents into .prc files? Would make it easier to read them rather than uploading them to google docs to read from there.

          Thanks

          Sovran's blog: Post-edit to M2:24

            An astute reader (Ichtys) noticed that I made a rather glaring error in Chapter 24. I had Dumbledore introduce Hagrid to the Grangers as though they had never met. They had indeed met, however, back in chapter 9 when Hagrid broke up the fistfight between Arthur and Lucius. Normally, I really don't like making substantive changes to a chapter after it's posted, but in this case I think it's called for.

            Rhetor's blog: My Boskone Schedule

              For those who are attending Boskone, here are the events for which I'm a scheduled participant:

              parakletos's blog: When you have to set it all up yourself

                With such a title, this could be about our church, which doesn't have its own building so has to set up and take down every week, but it isn't.

                Instead, it concerns my current writing project which is set in Anglo Saxon England. I didn't really appreciate how much work it would entail in bringing the wealth of information that is out there regarding the period (its set around 924 AD)into a story. It's also showed me just how much info I have stored in my head about the world in which Harry lives.

                parakletos's blog: Swaefred of Cent

                  My wife has never read any of my fanfic, always asking why I don't write any original stuff. She tends to be a lone voice amongst those who are interested in what I write as everyone else wants to know when the next chapter of 12M or Sins will be. But now she's happy, because I'm working on an idea that has no links to Harry Potter.

                  kb0's blog: Picture for Lily's Child

                    I got a really cool Christmas present. "HGRHfan35" on SIYE created a picture for me to go with Lily's Child and I thought I'd share it with everyone. It's an animated GIF and you can find it at: http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv116/HGRHfan35/?action=view&current=...

                    Chatmandu's blog: Silly bit of household drama on a snowy day...

                      It is snowing here; started last night and we have probably over 8 inches on the ground right now. We are under a Winter Storm Warning and a Blizzard Warning will kick in about 5pm (local) this evening and stay in effect overnight. The initial forecasts were 12+ inches, now it is up to 22 inches. Whoohoo! I know the amount of snow we get in the Mid-Atlantic states might not be much to other readers, but for us real big snow storms are quite rare. This is our first in over three years. It is making a nice addition to the Christmas decorations inside and out!
