Lent — Day 7
Word count for the day: 7025 / 75000 (9.37%) I’m 4k behind and I promise you, I’ll tackle these today. I’m actually not horrified by what’s coming out this time. Of course, it’s the first time I’m actually writing a novel in english — 105k words fan fictions don’t count — and it’s a bit … Read more
Lent day 1 — The beginning
Word count for the day : 2255 / 75000 (3.01%) It was half past midnight when I first looked at the clock, between Castle fanfictions and a few facebook conversations. Almost on purpose, ten minutes later my grandfather walked into the room with a box of chocolates. “Want one? They’re amazing.” *le sigh* No, seriously, … Read more
Lent and a novel
Lent starts in two days. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s the period of time between Carnaval (Mardi Gras, Good Tuesday, whatever you want to call it) and Easter Sunday, very important to the Catholic Church. It’s a period of prayer, of thought and of atonement. And it’s a bit … Read more
macarons and laughter
Last friday, Jo, Rafa and I celebrated Rafa’s pre-birthday (it was only the following day) with macarons at the Crystal Palace. We had such a lovely time. Comparing horror movie experiences, moaning over how darn good those macarons were, going to Lello and wandering around with the books for a while, everything was absolutely lovely. … Read more
For Lovers Only
Because right now, I’m utterly and completely inspired by this trailer. Stana Katic is amazing, The Polish Brothers are amazing, every single thing about this trailer is amazing. I’ll definitely need to write some fiction based on this.
back to myself
I had a rough few months. Ever since last fall, anyone who knows even a bit of me knows I have had some trouble, that I spent a couple of months in the darkest possible place, and that I’m only now able to stand on my own two feet again. If there’s one thing that … Read more
You’d be Surprised
I adore Idina Menzel. And I just heard this song again, after a year or so, and realized that it makes complete sense to the phase that I’m going through right now. — You’d be surprised at all that I’ve become. You’d be surprised, I’ve changed while you’ve been gone, And I learned so much … Read more
black and white
I started a film development course last week, at my old photo school. It felt nice to be there again, despite all the memories that came across me. I got the feeling that despite all the heartache that followed, what we built there was amazing for the time it lasted. We should be thankful for … Read more
the makings of a good week
1) New studio lights No, REALLY. The difference is astounding. I still didn’t use my lights for the 52W photo (my room is still all cluttered, I’ll clean it out this week), but everything about them is so precious. I’m finally starting to work on light like I wanted to, knowing sources and effects and … Read more
Studio life
The day has finally come! After many adventures, after taking twice the time to get here and getting stuck on customs, and me yelling at the customs man who never said anything right (“No, you don’t need a receipt.” Two days later — “where’s the receipt? I told you you needed it! But don’t bring … Read more
