I thought I'd give this 30 Days of books meme a go, but rather than do a bit each day, or break it into so many each post, I thought I'd do it in one great swoop. So...

Day 01 – A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)


Eric Lustbader's Nicholas Linnear series. I'll admit to having fallen behind a touch with these, not having read the latest instalment, but that's only because I have so much on my to read shelf already I've been banned from purchasing any more. I wish/hope this series continues on.
Day 02 – A book or series you wish more people were reading and talking about

The Nathan Steele series. Lock this one into the memory banks - it will be huge!
Day 03 – The best book you’ve read in the last 12 months

The Price by Alexandra Sokoloff. I'll admit to being a long way behind on my reading this year so I have very slim pickings to choose from, but Alex does not disappoint her growing legion of fans with this offering.

Day 04 – Your favourite book or series ever

WOT series by Robert Jordan would be my favourite series (the final instalment sits on my to read shelf), but Misery by Stephen King is my all time favourite book.

Day 05 – A book or series you hate

I don't tend to remember bad books. I don't tend to keep them on my shelf either. I never finish them unless it's for a review.

Day 06 – Favourite book of your favourite series OR your favourite book of all time

Isn't this the same question, only reworded, as number 4? I've not finished WOT yet so I can't pinpoint a particular book in that series but Misery is my favourite book ever (or for all time).


Day 07 – Least favourite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise

This would be a toss up between dream sequences and time travel. It seems whenever an author paints themself into a too tight a corner, some of the lesser artists out there resort to it never happening by way of dreams or time travel. That pisses me off!

Day 08 – A book everyone should read at least once

The Bible. Even if you don't believe it will give you solid ground to stand on when you argue your case against it, plus, there are some great stories in there.

Day 09 – Best scene ever

Misery, the crippling of Paul Sheldon. I could feel his pain...

Day 10 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, or Romeo and Juliet. I read all of these as part of my education while in high school. At the time I preferred to read King, Struab, or Saul so I hated anything that took precious reading time away from me. Obviously, in the end, I'm glad I decided to read them rather than fudge my way through English.

Day 11 – A book that disappointed you

The Haunting of Hill House. I know it's supposed to be a classic but it just didn't do it for me.

Day 12 – A book or series of books you’ve watched more than five times

How do you watch a book? I've never read a book five times. I have seen the movie version of Romeo and Juliet a lot, and the stage play a few times, actually performed it once, and read the book and a screenplay based on it. I've watched most Stephen King adaptations more than five times, particularly Carrie, The Mist, and Christine.

Day 13 – Favourite childhood book OR current favourite YA book (or both!)

I adored the Famous Five series but I can't remember any individual titles. Where the Wild Things Are was a favourite and its recent rebirth through the movies has bought back some wonderful memories.

Day 14 – Favourite character in a book (of any sex or gender)

Hannibal Lecter - perhaps the most well rounded evil dude in history

Day 15 – Your “comfort” book

On Writing by Stephen King. Not a novel, I know, but I take great comfort in reading this one when I need a lift to move forward once more in my writing endeavours.

Day 16 – Favourite poem or collection of poetry

I can't remember the name of the collection and seem unable to find it on the Net, but the only poetry I ever enjoyed was by William Blake. On the whole, I'd rather not be subjected to it.

Day 17 – Favourite story or collection of stories (short stories, novellas, novelettes, etc.)

Books of Blood by Clive Barker

Day 18 – Favourite beginning scene in a book

Honestly, I can't remember one - good or bad. I know at the time of reading a bad start can put me off a book so most that I have continued to read have at least been good enough to retain my interest but I can't remember any openings that continue to linger (but then I forget a lot now-a-days).

Day 19 – Favourite book cover (bonus points for posting an image!)

Deep Inside by Polly Frost - sorry

Day 20 – Favourite kiss

In a book? Really? Nah...


Day 21 – Favourite romantic/sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)

Romeo and Juliet - yes, I'm boring.


Day 22 – Favourite non-sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)

Todd Bowden and Kurt Dussander - Apt Pupil by Stephen King. Never have I come across two more manipulative bastards who really like each other than these two.


Day 23 – Most annoying character ever

I can't think of a specific character in a book or series that I've read who annoys me to a point that I remember them for this specific reason. Yes, some characters are poorly written or some traits used that annoy me, but I always remember that this is fiction, and, in the end, I can always close the thing and go on with my life.

Day 24 – Best quote from a novel

I don't tend to quote novels - film lines, yes...occasionally - but rarely novels. It may be that some of the lines I quote from a film originally came out of a novel, but then I'm not sure about that. Either way, I do like to try and be original most of the time, and because my memory is like a slice of Swiss cheese, I never remember the good quotes.

I actually remember bringing the odd line to the attention of my wife, so there must have been some good ones, but I have no idea what they were. :c(

Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack

The Keeper by Sarah Langan
The Devil's Labyrinth by John Saul
The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers
Shattered by Dean Koontz
Just After Sunset by Stephen King

Day 26 – OMG WTF? OR most irritating/awful/annoying book ending

If we were talking about a book adaption to film ending, The Mist would have my WTF prize hands down. As for the ending of actual books, I've scoured my shelves for something to jump out at me - nothing.

Day 27 – If a book contains ______, you will always read it (and a book or books that contain it)!

Words of fiction or words of advice from Stephen King. Yep, I'm a fan.

Day 28 – First favourite book or series obsession

First book would have been Where the Wild Things Are but my first real novel favourite was Carrie. My first series obsession was James Clavell's Shogun series.

Day 29 – Saddest character death OR best/most satisfying character death (or both!)

When Annie gets it in Misery - that was satisfying! But when Juliet dies, that would be my saddest (yeah, I know - soft)

Day 30 – What book are you reading right now?
 
Doing lots of research now so I have a number of books on the go about witchcraft.
 
 

Too Long

I think I've spent way too long contemplating my next move. The wife snapped this picture of me recently while in one of my trances...

What do you think? Should I get out more?

News is through that things are looking up to enable me to move forward with the renovation schedule--excellent news! Woohoo!

I think much better (and I'm much better to be around) when things move forward.

Onwards!

Much To Do About Nothing

Today I was going to write about the unique, and very odd, thing long distance writing friendships are in this age of the Internet and email. But I'm still mulling it over in my head on exactly how to phrase things.

So I figured I'd talk about how different writers approach their public image and how some have blogs and websites and twitter and etc, etc, etc - and how others only have their stories out there. But that needs me to come to a set of conclusions on how I feel about it all and therefore more consideration.

And then I figured I just wouldn't bother posting anything today as I've written nothing, edited nothing and read nothing, but that seemed like a very defeatist attitude and it has been that type of thinking that has stopped me from doing anything anyway.

In the end, I have nothing to say of any consequence.

But I wish you all the very best with whatever writing project you are currently wrangling with, or should that be with which you are currently wrangling? You know what I mean...

And finally, I've decided to throw up a bizzare picture of .... (fill in the blank) every now and then as I like seeing pictures appear occasionally on a blog. It breaks up all the blocks of text nicely. So for the first of such bizarre stuff I give you the perfect Valentine's gift for that special woman in your life who has everything.

Very Cool

I've seen a few of my writer friends take up this challenge so I figured 'What the hell. I'd love to know what little known author I'm supposed to be like' - and then the results came in:

I am: Arthur C. Clarke Well known for nonfiction science writing and for early promotion of the effort toward space travel, his fiction was often grand and visionary.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Very cool

Sunday Update

I've finally started moving again after a harder than normal day's play in the cricket and a pretty good night at the club. Before I sit down and start reading the last of the submissions for Dark Pages Volume One, I thought I'd just throw up a couple of photo's taken by one of our friends of the costumes we wore last night.

We haven't gotten around to downloading anything from our own camera yet - I'll leave that to my better half.

Without further ado:

We went as a couple of high society ghosts. We have a panda eye each as the face make up really stung as it got into our eyes so with a swipe of out hand, we kind of ruined the effect (slightly).

And here is the gruesome couple taking a breather between John Daly (left)

and Robin Hood (right).

As for the game - we lost by 10 runs due to various instances of unsavoury sportsmanship. I'll be requesting an official umpire from the association for the next time we play this team, but the good thing about playing a weekend sport - there's always next week. I should have known the day wouldn't go our way when I arrived at the ground, sans one match ball, and then lost the toss and had to bowl, knowing one of my batsmen would have to leave early, and then two of my players, one of which was the opening bowler, turned up five overs into the game. Things just didn't start out right and never quite got back on track.
Right! Time to get stuck into some reading...

Cool

My work stops us from being able to watch videos on YOUTUBE which is a pain in the proverbial as most people embed videos from there into their blog posts when/if they wish to embed anything at all.

The block also stops me from being able to embed YOUTUBE content into anything I post.

Enter Google Videos which work hasn't gotten around to blocking yet.

Over at Katey's blog today, she has a must read post which left me smiling and shaking my head while agreeing totally with her. It reminded me of this which I just had to remind everyone about:

Funny

He's A Very Naughty Boy

Well, I may not be the Messiah, but I have been a naughty blogger. I've not been posting or commenting on other blogs for purely selfish reasons.

I've been reading and writing. Honestly, I have.

I've almost completed 20% of my YA novel and I finished reading the Barclay novel. I've moved immediately onto the fourth Dexter novel which I hope to complete this week, and then I'll have two left to do for HorrorScope - hopefully by the end of this month.

Then I've been lucky enough to be asked to read and review for another independently published author - cool.

I've also got a first chapter to read for another writer - it's hard to be this popular...

As if...

I've got tax stuff to sort out, cricket season looming large, the EPL starting up again, the Ashes and a warm fuzzy feeling about the YA thing I'm currently working on which needs a title. I'm playing around with a few but nothing has struck home yet. Maybe Jason had the right idea in calling his secret project Fred for the sake of having something to call it other than 'The Secret Project'! Any and all witty suggestions are welcome.

As for being naughty: I lurk in the background and read the new posts in the 80 or so blogs I follow and then get back to work (Google Reader is wonderful for keeping me organised). Very occasionally, I comment. I should do more, but then if it's a toss up between writing, reading, spending time doing stuff I enjoy off the computer, spending time with family or blogging - blogging loses - I'm becoming okay with that.

Movie meme

Lemmings - forward! (and it saves me having to think up something else to post about today)

(Don't forget Alan Baxter's Blog Tour has also commenced - Day two today.)

1.Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.

Highlander (I stopped counting at 50, but that was reached in less than 12 months from it's original release)

2.Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater.

I've never watched a movie twice at the theatre.

3.Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.

I'm pretty easy going in regards to the cast of any movie, but Jessica (Alba/Biel) would peak my interest a little more than most ;c)

4.Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.

Like I said in #3, I'll watch anything with anyone in it, but Donald Pleasence isn't a favourite. My wife hates Jamie Lee Curtis so I don't seem to watch anything with her in it either...

5.Name a movie that you can and do quote from.

Lots. Anything Shakespeare (Hamlet, MacBeth, Romeo & Juliet), Monty Python, Disney flicks, and, of course, Highlander.

6.Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs.

I'm a closet wannabe singer who sings along to the radio all the time. In particular, Grease 1 & 2, Rocky Horror, Highlander (opps - not a musical but I know all the Queen songs), and anything Disney.

7.Name a movie that you have been known to sing along.

Apart from those above - Flash Gordon (yes, I like Queen) - oh and the Beatles based Across the Universe - I dare anybody to watch that and not sing along!

8.Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.

Somewhere in Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves.

9.Name a movie that you own.

Just one? Apart from everything already named...The Lost Boys (I sing a long with the soundtrack in that as well...)

10.Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops.

Robin Williams. A comedian turned actor who is the true king of improv.

11.Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what?

Lots! But nothing overly recent (ie not in the last 10 years or so). I remember seeing The Amyitville Horror after being smuggled into a drive in squashed into the trunk of a mates car!

12.Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven’t yet gotten around to it.

Deep Throat - I'd like to know what all the fuss was about.

13.Ever walked out of a movie?

Nope.

14.Name a movie that made you cry in the theater.

Teared up a touch in Titanic but my wife was heavily pregnant at the time so it was a stressful period anyway - she gave birth the following day.

15.What’s the last movie you saw in the theater?

Night at the Museum II - not bad.

16.What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie?

Foreign. I watch World Movies - a lot! More often than not, they are so much better than the Hollywood rip offs, and Bollywood is just funny.

17.What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?

Orca

18.What movie do you wish you had never seen?

The Lobstermen from Mars - don't ever watch this, don't even look it up. You have been warned.

19.What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?

Some of the adult orientated (and I don't mean porn here) Japanese animae is very weird and yet the art can carry it through. How about Eyes Wide Shut, or Girl In A Box - there are so many to choose from.

20.What is the scariest movie you’ve seen?

The Return of Count Yorga when I was 14. A mate and I were allowed to sleep in the lounge room and watch an all night horror marathon. We walked back into the room after a quick drinks break and the Count thrust his hands through the glass window to grab his victim just as we were putting the drinks on the coffee table. We S$#T ourselves!

21.What is the funniest movie you’ve seen?

I get a good laugh from most Disney flicks (at least since Shrek and that sort arrived), and Mrs Doubtfire is good for a chuckle, but I can't remember a flick which has had me laughing from go to woe or even for most of it.

So there you go. Make of that what you will.

Sins

The latest meme doing the rounds and thanks to Jamie, I have something to blog about today - no really, thanks, Jamie .

"Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you. Sometimes you can learn a lot from the things they just make up. If you are tagged with this Meme, lie to me. Then tag 7 other folks (one for each deadly sin) and hope they can lie."

Pride: What is your biggest contribution to the world?

Darren Lehmann. No, he's not a mutant love child or anything like that, but I was his captain in junior representative cricket and it was because I kept getting him out in the nets that he vowed to concentrate harder on becoming an excellent batsmen. I heard rumours he acknowledged me as the reason he was able to hit the winning runs in the 1999 world cup.

Envy: What do your coworkers wish they had which is yours?

Quite a lot. But specifically, my ability to act calmly in a crisis and to have the uncanny knack to know just the right thing at just the right time. My knowledge of everything has saved their bacon on numerous occasions.

Gluttony: What did you eat last night?

Pretty standard fare last night. We started with King Prawn cocktails followed by Pheasant Under Glass with a side Cesar salad. We enjoyed a simple Peking Duck flown in by the Royals just for the quick stop over visit by Harry. It was nicely complemented with a bottle of Grange Hermitage, before we had a simple pavlova for desert.

Lust: What really lights your fire?

This is becoming a difficult thing. I mean, I'm on the wrong side of 40 now and last weeks visit from the triplets only just managed to get me in the mood.

Anger: What is the last thing that really pissed you off?

Lying. I can put up with a great deal from the little people of this world but those who just can't tell the truth really make me see red.

Greed: Name something you keep from others.

This is almost as difficult an answer as Lust. I am so open with those I consider my friends. I am generous with my money, emotions and time. I put everybody first, before me and usually before my family. Still, I scoff at suggestions I should be canonised immediately upon my death. I mean seriously, if you could cure blindness and heal the sick, you'd just do it too - wouldn't you?

Sloth: What's the laziest thing you've ever done?

I once watched my son mow the lawn while my wife washed and dried the dishes, but then it was they who suggested I have a morning off.

Just in case you didn't catch onto any of this - I have lied my ass off!

Next on the tag line: Danielle Ferries, Felicity Dowker, Jason Fischer, & Jodi Lee.

Yeah, I know I'm supposed to tag seven, but I've got another dozen or so people who I'd like to link to and don't want anyone to feel left out, so if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged. Perhaps I should have put that under sloth...

News Flash!

People are advised to stay indoors, load shotguns, notch crossbows, and take up the zombie emergency brace position (sit, place head between knees, and kiss your arse goodbye).

Once more the ineptitude of local law enforcement and the woefully underfunded facility that is the Turkey Shoot Zombie farm has come to the fore. The fences have failed once more, but this time the walking undead managed to rip apart the authorities before any alarm was raised.

The first anyone knew there was any danger was when this poor fellow was impacted by the 20:30 bus to central station. Did he become a zombie just to be treated so badly that he no longer knows if his ear from his elbow? Possibly, but the point is, he was supposed to be kept behind fences so the good people of the world could take pot shots at his brain from safety.

When the bus driver realised he hadn’t actually killed anyone, he radioed in the emergency. Unfortunately to additional escapees (pictured below) entered the bus and made quick work of the lightly populated bus. Apparently one witness also saw them make a hat from a stomach, a broach from an eyeball and a necklace from a string of intestines.

Worse news is the appearance of a new type of zombieism with what is being called the Silver Strain. Luckily for us, they seem to congregate near discount record shops playing seventies music and dingy adult book stores.

The mayor has taken control of the situation and sent out a crack team of zombie hunters to clean them up. These lucky girls currently hold the highest score on the Zombie Hunt game at the arcade so we can rest assured our safety will be returned to us soon. If they fail, then the ultimate weapon, the Query Ninja shall be unleashed!

Only one last creature of doom remains unaccounted for. His keeper, who had the night off tonight with illness, was located at the local watering hole, imbuing his spirit with a top secret fortification liquid he wasn’t at liberty to reveal. He mentioned that arse-about-face, as he is lovingly called, is a gentle creature that wouldn’t hurt a fly. If seen please ring
1-800-zombie-return and someone will be round to collect him.

We believe this is the picture of the creature at large although someone in the field office swears it was the keeper.

Please stay indoors until you hear the all clear.

Thank you. That is all.

Mondays

I really don't like my job, and if it didn't pay so well I'd be out of here in a shot.

But this made me smile. For those of you who don't want to click the link, this is the picture I'm talking about:

How true it is...

What Can you Say

I want to be this kind of amateur.

Funny (nod to Ed's Ass for the link) - wait - that didn't come out right...

A Bit of fun from our own Felicity Dowker - can we send this out to all Kindle users...

Cool stuff we, as writers, should all know.

Helen has been dropping by and leaving the odd comment so I thought I'd return the favour and post a link to her interview.

Chapter 16 Coming Together & A Contest

I read somewhere (I know I should have this link, trust me, I'm looking for it), if your story is dragging a little, then kill something.

Death has a big part in my book as I strip away my MC's support structure leaving them (that would be the singular use of 'them') to stand and find their own way in a harsh new world. In 15 and a half chapters I've managed to to remove a beloved sister, my MC's innocence, a would be partner, four natives, the lesser antagonist, and now the father.

To come is the death of two brothers, the crippling of a third, the death of a doctor, the demise of the mentor, and a few other characters both major and minor.

And yet this book has a happy ending. Of sorts.

Lots of interesting ways have been used to remove people. Spears, tree branches, a plough, a gunshot, strangulation, drowning, stabbing, poison, and few more surprising things I've thought up.

My doubts over chapter 16 have vanished.

Tonight I've managed to add 1098 words. After rereading chapter 15 and removing 9 words I could live without, I have a grand total of 1089 new words added.

So lets hear it: How many gruesome ways have you managed to kill off characters in your tales of twisted delight...

I'd love to have a prize for the most ingenious, but living in Australia would make the postage more expensive than any token of my esteem. So, along with your best, you can also name the most ingenious way you'd kill or seriously maim a character if you had a story set in the 1830's. This means no technology allowed. No SAW recreations unless you could pull it off in the Australian Outback.

Difficult - yep. Your prize: I'll use the winner's suggested method to remove a major character within the book I'm writing, and give you credit for it if the thing ever gets published.

What do you think?

Have at it...

Funny

Been doing my normal weekending browse around the place and found a whole bunch of good stuff on Rachelle Gardener's Blog. Follow the link to read all of it but this was my favourite:

A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell. She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.

"Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now.

"A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes."Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"

"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."

Brilliant!

Mental Health Day

Apparently today is World Mental Health Day where we are all supposed to take a moment to look after the gray matter.

A considerate workmate sent me an email to remind me of this fact so I thought I'd share:

The love story of Ralph and Edna...

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'

Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'

Happy Mental Health Day!

Blog Numbers

Over to the right you'll see a couple of different counter type things. A little lower you'll also come across feedit which shows where some people are arriving from.

All interesting stuff that can be interpreted and displayed in a myriad of different ways.

Heres's something else I recently came across which I thought interesting.

I've had over 5100 people visit this site over the year and a bit I've been blogging. Most of those numbers are return visitors.

In fact I've only had a little over 1500 unique visitors - and that's fine. I'd be happy if I only had a dozen or so people who popped in on occasion to say hello. I write this blog as an exercise for me, as my writing presence on the web, and to try and help out any other writers who are just starting out. It is cathartic for me in many ways.

So where have all these unique visitors come from? I'm glad you asked. Just click on the image below to blow it up into something you can read without crossing your eyes.

The top three are kind of expected to be leading the way. The next three surprised me a little but then I don't know what I would have expected to take their place. Maybe New Zealand, Ireland and...and...I have no idea.

Once upon a time I mused about having more people from India or South Africa, or possibly South America pass by. Now I'm just happy people find me and some of them come back more than once.

Thank you one and all for taking the time.

Good luck with your writing.

This is a strange thing I was directed to by Janet Reid's blog:

What does it mean? God knows, but I'm sure you'll want to do it as well.

Have fun...
