Disco Inferno

November 29, 2008

Ok, so as most of you might know. On Friday night, a building nextdoor to my apartment building caught fire. As a result, we were all evacuated out of our apartments and were only allowed back in this morning at 10. Everything is fine, the apartment didnt get damaged and nobody got hurt. The building that caught fire (a clothes store) and the building beside it, as well as the warehouses at the back, were burnt to a crisp. They are still smoking now and are being torn down. Thanks to all of you who checked in to see that I was ok.

However, being up for 30 hours straight has worn me down a tad. I also have no net connection at home now. If it’s okay with you all I’d like to take this weekend off so that I can sort everything out. I will have an episode of T&C up next week, no matter what. I promise. I’ll also post some photos and videos of the fire if anyone is interested.

Also, I did manage to get the novel finished in the end. I originally planned to have it done by friday at midnight but ended up writing the last few words on my EeePc at 5am in the train station (only place open with net access). Still it’s all done now. It’s not a great story but I’m pleased that I managed to make it to the end :D

Talk to you all soon,

Steve

  1. Hey,

    Glad to hear that you’re ok and that you managed to finish the novel. That’s either hardcore or crazy. Haven’t decided which one yet.


  2. I’m Hardcore :)


  3. Yeah so crazy! When will you find out how well you’ve done with it?


  4. Well the group effort editing idea will be going ahead. I’m know the 1st draft is a bit rubbish, so I’ll be reading a chapter every week or two. Doing a bit of a directors commentary and stuff and getting listener feedback. Have a few ideas for ways to make it fun. Hope to get it started in January.


  5. Ooooohhh, looking forward to that. And hey at least you’re trying even if it’s not good. After all there’s so many people out there with published books that really should neverhave seen the light of day.


  6. Hey Stephen…congrats on finishing (and making my just-sent PM obsolete)!
