If you had a time machine (i.e. a TARDIS), where would you go?

I would go to the 1794 Paris. I would warn Robespierre to deal with Tallien before it's too late!

I love the French Revolution: it's a fascinating period. And I've always had a soft spot for Robespierre who (evidence agrees) wasn't anywhere near as 'black' as some books/documentaries claim.

Sketching: Rumpelstiltskin in Neverland

So, a sketch of Robert Carlyle as Rumpelstiltskin / Mr Gold in the TV series Once Upon a Time (OUAT). This shot is taken from Season 3 when they go to Neverland and Rumpel determines to kill Peter Pan even if it costs his own life.

This was drawn over 5 hours with pencils: 9B, 5B, 3B, 3B, F & 7H

Writing Update #1

So, I figured I'd post the occasional update on my writing for you all.

First off, I submitted a short story for an M/M anthology and I am waiting to hear if it will be accepted or not. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

My cyberpunk story is currently sitting at around 17,000 words. I'd aimed to pass 20,000 by the end of the weekend but last night I pulled an all-nighter setting up our new PC and am so tired today, I may not get much done. At worst, I'll reach the goal early next week.

I also got an idea for another new story - a fantasy - and it was stuck in my head, so I wrote the first 1000 words to dislodge it. I have a good feeling about it, so will try to work on that a little, too, though my focus is to complete the cyberpunk one first.

More news later, peeps!
