Off on a Tesla Coil

So this mornings "writing" has been hijacked a little by Nicola Tesla and Steampunk - I was supposed to be working on my Play - The Ecstacy - which I will do this evening - but I have been completely obsessed with a story I have been wanting to write for months now..it may be longer than a story actually - aargh too many Projects!!  Anyway the story/novel I want to write is called "Tilly Divine's Steampunk Emporium" and I started it a few weeks ago (furtively, like I was doing something VERY naughty- because I KNOW I am supposed to be working on the Play)

So this morning, over my fourth cup of very strong black coffee (Wheee!) I GOOGLED... and by 11 oclock I was knee deep in Tesla coils, conspiracy theories and GOGGLES - cos Steampunk is ALL about the Goggles.  Anyway - I will post again at 2pm and we'll just see what kind of progress has actually been made won't we!!!

Comet of Doooom!!!

Okay so Comet (or possibly dwarf star depending on the tin foil hat you are currently wearing) Elenin is approaching earth.  Apparently this means either nothing or everything turning into nothing - in a loud and messy fashion.  I prefer to save my panic and bulk food buying for Pandemic/Nuclear catastrophe/Zombie Apocalypse type events - so this weekend, instead of stocking up on beans and rice, I will be writing!! Yes writing - a whole weekend of it and in the spirit of this rather haphazard blog - I am going to try and Blog it - with both speed writing and marathon sessions. 

There will of course be SOME drinking involved I am sure, but hopefully not before 11....  because that would be bad.  So if you are wondering why i am not lurking on FB or Twitter - it's because I am WORKING people!!

Also if you do intend to plan for the impending apocalypse the you might like to do it in style!
