Today started fast, with a 1000 words and a digital edit on a short story by 9am. I did this because I woke up in a really bad mood, and writing seemed to be the only thing that made sense. It put me in a good mood before going down into Rochester for a bit of lunch and to pop into Get Ready Retro, a local comic book shop. I managed to pick up the next volume of Wilds End (The Enemy Within) by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard. I really liked the first one and I’m looking forward to reading this one.

Those thousand words I wrote this morning was on the fanfic piece and the short story is for one of the story submissions I’ve got coming up. I’ve printed it off and will red-pen it tomorrow.

The rest of the day has been spent with my feet up playing video games and binging some shows on Netflix. Aside from having to shoot into work for forty-five minutes, that was my day.

Something Different

I’m not really a fan of comic books, I’m not against them or look down on them or anything I’m just not that big a fan of them. As a kid I would read The Beano and in my early teens, maybe even just before, I used to read the Commando action comics which I wish I still had. My Granddad got me into these little stories. These are what I would read late at night under my duvet with a torch when I was supposed to be sleeping. Most of the ones that I read were World War Two stories which at the time fascinated me. This was when I wrote my first story, it was a WWII story and it must have been really, really bad. Again I wish that I still had it just to torture myself lol Getting to my point though I am just about to start reading Imperial Gothic by Dan Abnett. It is a collection of Abnett’s Warhammer 40k comics that I have had for a few years but have never gotten around to reading. I think that I may struggle because as I said, I’m not a fan of them but I am a big fan of Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series and I want to track down more of his work.
