Moving to Dreamwidth

To be honest, I have not blogged for an age which is a real shame. I have also started to feel very uneasy about LiveJournal of late so I think 'tis time to migrate. I am very much out of practice at this though

I'm trying to write this post in the pub, which is kinda strange but the idea was I was going to try and be a bit productive before I go home. Draftwise I'm still hovering round the 94k mark so with a bit of work I should reach 95k by the end of the night. I managed to write a bit more of the Rob scene where he's in his Belgravia apartment sad about leaving his career. Introduced Ellie (who's a very minor character, related to Laurence who is Tom's first love) as a sympathetic ear.
I really do need to do some kind of beat sheet if I'm going to reconstruct this. Make sure it is actually going to be two novels with their own arcs. I have a lot more plot points to get down before this is going to be suitable for reading. I am definitely on the search for someone to thrash this out with.
It's surprisingly quiet in here, more so than the library which is plagued by people talking extremely loudly on their mobile phones. This is highly annoying when you're trying to concentrate on a scene. It's a freaking library. I don't think that I am asking too much for you to keep quiet. Jesus, if you want to make a phone call then this is not the place!

In other news, there's news of a Jeff Buckley biopic doing the rounds.

Jeff Buckley Biopic is a go!

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand I am still such a stan that I probably would watch this, but I dread to think of the fail of Hollywood getting their hands on this story. I also feel maybe it's a bit too soon, and besides didn't his mother Mary Guibert say she didn't want a biopic during her lifetime. So what's changed?

I really do have to start using this more especially as I might end up having to migrate over here. It's just hard to maintain my LJ and Tumblr plus all the writing which I'm still trying to do

Just had a phone call that I didn't have to go to work for my all day shift and the sun is shining so all in all things are looking OK.
I've imported my posts from here to Dreamwidth so that's done. I just want to be prepared just in case the situation with LJ gets worse. Don't get me wrong I really do love LJ and I've made my home in many ways but I want to be prepared just in case. What I don't want is to end up juggling several blog providers because I've found that it really doesn't work. My WordPress and Blogger blogs have been sorely neglected of late. I have to start those up again but there is only so much I can write about.

I had no idea that I was meant to check in with the novel_bigbang I haven't remotely started and to be honest, if I'm going to be doing a restructure of this novel I can't see myself being able to actually write any kind of sequel. There is a distinct possibility I might have to drop out. It's just there was an awful lot of work required co-ordinating the artists. I'm still doing Nano, hell I'm booking off two weeks holiday in November so I can concentrate on writing without the distraction of work. Maybe trying to write this is too much. I just want this to be the best that it can be and then go back and finish the other novels to the right standard. I would really like to be published even if it's just on Lulu for now.

I managed to see two films recently; The Eagle and Rio. I really wanted to catch 'The Eagle' as I read the book way back in the day, when it was called 'The Eagle of the Night' by Rosemary Sutcliff. I'm not a great fan of Channing Tatum. It was very distracting having him in the lead role to be honest as I felt he didn't really look remotely like a Roman. He just has a very contemporary face and I found it distracting.
Rio was cute though, very colourful and funny. I might watch that again.
