Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art. Angel tattoos are easily...

The Reason for the Silence... such as it is.

As per usual I begin with an apology - and this the most earnest of those so far: so very sorry for the abruptness and the length (!) of my silence. I am in fact, still alive, still working, and most significantly, preparing for fatherhood. I do suffer from chronic, low level depression which most often presents itself as a strong desire to be left alone and excessive computer gaming :\ ... yet the main reason for the sudden stop was more particularly two things: 1/ fear, as I approach the moment/scene in ECONOMOUS that motivated me to start his story in the first place; & 2/ realising that I had no idea who Miss Swift actually is (since *-SPOILERS AHEAD!-* I want to make her a main character) and not being able to proceed without her being better realised. Well, happy day \o/, thanks to my writers' group of Michael Hawke, Ben Morton & Rikki Lambert, I have a much clearer sense of her now (and quite different she is from how I have penned her so far) so proceeding can begin...

Wow, almost did not make it :O I blame my preoccupation with a picture book I am working on that is due in little over one weeks time - I Don't Want to Eat My Dinner  it is called, a sample for you below. On posting this, I am painfully aware of missing details, of things not quite fleshed out, but such is the state of first drafts, so read on knowing that if this gets to a more polished stage it will be fuller, fitter, finer.

Late again, but still arrived, more Economous is here. May I just say too, how much I appreciate you all, whether you comment or not, and how much your comments encourage me to continue and aid in the creative process - it is like you are all some kind of beta (alpha?) testers helping guide the outcome of the final result. Anyway, lame  similes  aside, thank you all. Economous musgrove         © D.M.Cornish PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH OR REPRODUCE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION Chapter 9 PART 2 The Sulk & Through The next morning, with the sun already beating with summer heat upon all uncovered pates, Economous found the lenterman sitting easy with the side-armsman and the backstepper, all sipping the best local under the shade of coachyard’s broad eaves. “No passage today, m’hearty,” the lenterman said with a lazy tip of his already lazily tilted stovepipe hat. The second day proved even hotter and the lentermen all the more comfortably disposed under the coachyard e...

So we begin again, Finnigan ("... he has  whiskers  on his chin again...") It may well be noted that this chapter has the same title as the previous, and this is because I have actually renamed them in between postings; for this  chapter bears the title much better than the previous (which is now called, "Humour" - tho this is not a title I am yet fully settled upon). Things are likely to get lumpier still from now on for we are most definitely in "writing as I go" territory: let the terror begin! As for Tales from the Half-Continent , it is 216 pages long, has 1 map (recycled from Factotum - please forgive me),   8 character illos but alas, no  appendices  - it seems I am become too obscure to be allowed such indulgences a second time. Let us revel in the obscurity together \o/ I see too that I got the athy's names mixed up (THANK YOU, ANON, VERY HELPFUL INDEED) : it is known by all three  names in my various notebooks - I think because I canno...

Welcome welcome to a new year! Alas for 2013, t'was a lovely number now gone, the year itself full of twists and turns. Normal transmission of Economous Musgrove will resume next week 6/1/2014 (that's how a date is logically writ in everywhere sensible ;p - a set of numbers expanding rationally in scale from least to greatest rather than some un-sensible jumble \o/ ) For those new, middle-arrived or just needing it, here is a link to the very beginning of Economous' tale - and I will be adding a button-widget-graphic thingo to the right that does the same:  ECONOMOUS MUSGROVE: The Beginnering . To tide us all over and as a murky kinda Yule-Christmas-New Year in-the-notion-of-some-sort-of-present-giving-malarkey thing I am well pleased to announce that March this new year (in Australia at least for now) the release of Tales of the Half-Continent (I wanted to call it Sensoria  for reasons that I reckon will be clear once the stories are read, but was overruled) . Two stories...

Economous Musgrove Chapter 8 Part 4

On time?!! How is this possible?!?!??!? This chapter is the longest so far - 4 (!) parts to it. I seem to need to bang on with the travel bits :\ I had this small thought this morning about plotting ahead of time versus just winging it, and I think why I prefer to wing it (with a sense of direction/purpose mind) is that plotting seems to me more of a stand affar and determine from without, but I need to be in the meat with my characters, need to see and feel the tale with them in order to know/find where to go next.  Winging it is more fraught but I feel like I share the journey rather than dictating from above, as it were. Oh, and not that this is important, but this is still the pre-written "stuff" - though the fear-facing is going on as I now start to lay track before the very wheels of the moving train.

Wow, pushing the limits here; that is what fear will do for you.  Well, still some already material left though it has gaps in it: gaps where I do not know details of that moment but know what comes after. I will do that at times. This is a first draft so you are going to get all the lumps and bumps that come with that I am afraid. That said, I am actually pleased with how complete the text has been up to now (full of errors certainly, but no gaps of writing). Any way, apologies for the extended delay, now on with the show.
