Thought it was about time I said hello, so here goes with my own answers to my own questions:
What have you written?
I have written a crime story, 68, 060 words in total with 26,138 words on the sequal and lots of notes on the third in the series. Also a fantasy with 43,129 words so far... swords, magic and such.
A sci-fi with 12,265 – funny, thought there was more of that one...
And various beginings and lots of ideas, plus the poetry...
What are you interested in?
I find I'm interested in stories in Crime, Fantasy and Sci-fi mainly but with excursions into other fields, like in the crime stories I wandered off into archaeology, various different fields of art – painting, sculpture, crafts, gardening, the theatre... anything that's interesting really.
Have you written the words (metaphorically or literally) "The end" on anything?
Yeah, the 68 thou crime story – never thought I'd ever get that far with anything. I don’t count the poetry, you can call 4 lines "finished". Not sneering at poetry, I like writing it, but it doesn’t take anywhere near the same kind of dedication as an entire novel.
(- even if you just know you've got years worth of revision to do on it.)
(and I do)
What do you want to do next?
There I'm stumped. I've been doing 3D art for the last few years, modeling in 3D as well as rendering the finished result.
I guess I'd really like to be able to do both: writing and the art, like... for instance: being able to illustrate my own novels with my own 3D art work, perhaps my own 3 D models too.
I'd really like to get back into writing.
