Jurie, one of the organisers of GFG has posted some thoughts about the conference in his blog. I’d like to thank him for being so kind about my talk. This is indicative of the high level of respect and friendliness everyone who attended showed.
I’ve been invited to appear on a panel at the Writing Industries Conference and the Programme has just been annouced. As you’ll see, the day’s event is packed with great discussion panels that are sure to interest a wide range of writers. The programme schedule will appear shortly. The panel I’m appearing on includes Graham …
The trip to Germany was pretty uneventful, although Hannover was really cold when I got there – about -7 degrees centigrade. Thankfully I was met by someone who drove me to the hotel. He was also taking Darius Kazemi to the hotel and it was nice to meet a fellow speaker so soon, especially when …
The trip to Germany was great and I’ll blog about it properly over the weekend. When I got back I’d discovered that I’ve been confirmed for the Writing Industries Conference. This will be very different to the one I’ve just attended and will be pretty exciting to see such a broad range of writing disciplines …
I just happened to come across this great review at Jayisgames.com. “The first thing that makes it so unique is the engrossing and thrilling storyline, which starts slowly and builds momentum to a frantic pace” “Rhianna Ford & The Da Vinci Letter is a fun wild ride through a captivating story that grabs hold and …
Last night I stayed up late (for me) and spent a little time on bits of a novel that I’ve been fiddling with for some time and yet has not progressed very well at all. Much of the problem has been getting the right tone and voice for it and last night I think I …
With no hype or fanfare whatsoever, a new game has just been released – Rhianna Ford and the Da Vinci Letter. I mention this because it’s the first of the casual games I wrote and designed in the last year. 🙂 Although it’s primarily a hidden object game, it contains a number of adventure elements. …
Next week I’m talking at the Games Forum Germany. I was rather surprised when I was invited and, of course, very honoured. I hope I give a talk they’ll be pleased with. I decided to talk about aspects of character, but I didn’t want to go down the route of it being an instructional talk, …
Today I took delivery of a new Samsung netbook, which I’m still getting used to at the moment. I’m sitting here at 10:50 pm on the couch with the thing on my knee as I think of something to say. It’s actually very good to type on, although I’m still getting used to the position …
I’ve just posted a new Mitchell cartoon. I’d previously been posting twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, but I’ve decided to increase this to three times a week and will be possting on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. The natural thing might bave been to post on Mon-Wed-Fri, but this would have clashed with Mr. …
I’d like to wish everyone all the very best for the coming year. Let’s hope it’s a good one for all of us. I hope that you didn’t over-indulge, unlike some. After the snow finally vanished, we had a light covering overnight. I hope it’s not a sign of more to come. Take care.
The guys at Adventure-Treff posted a compilation video message for the festive season and I contributed to it with a few words. You can view the video here. Much of the compilation I didn’t understand because those parts were in German, but mine and a couple of other parts are in English. I laughed most …
