Key blog posts 2016

Leaving aside all the war, terrorism, post-truth politics, hate crime and celebrity deaths of 2016, what’s been happening on this blog during the year? I know that’s what you’re all secretly asking yourselves. Here, then, were the key happenings. #1 Publications This year was a good year for ticking off a couple of ‘must finish’ […]

Ten of my favourite SL photos (by other people) of 2016

Following on from my post on Tuesday, where I shamelessly self-promoted my ten most favourited own pictures at Flickr this year, I thought I’d look today at some of my favourite pictures of the year by other photographers. Disclaimer: I lay no claim to this being any sort of definitive list whatsoever. It is simply […]

My top ten SL photos (by me) of 2016

We’re in that no-man’s land of a week between Christmas and New Year, where we come to the realisation that the year is about to end. I doubt that many will miss 2016. By most measures, it’s been a complete dick of a year. Originally, I was going to write a post about just how […]

Season’s greetings 2016

Somehow it just isn’t the same as when you couldn’t sleep and you lay listening for bells and you dreamt of snowfall, silent and soft, erasing all the world’s ugliness: cleansing the planet like the Son of God; a fall of parachute bombs; the triumph of good over evil.

Here, in the vacuum she smiles brightly, she attends to his needs, she busies herself with his wellbeing: odd jobs here and there, occasional gifts; she removes his power to remove her from his life, for then she’d be the woman who only tried her best and he, unarguably, the cold and ungrateful bastard, happy […]

Come as you are

I disagree with Caitlin Tobias’ view that she isn’t an SL artist; if spending time arranging light in order to create a certain impression isn’t an artistic process, I’d like to know what it is. But this, I recognise, is a very old debate. Luckily for us, Cait has put her reservations aside for the […]

My building in others’ photos

A while back I posted about my new, 23 prim, six floor building that I’d put on sale on the Marketplace.  I wasn’t really expecting it to sell – especially seeing as how it isn’t mesh – but then again it was a labour of love for me and I did price it at only […]

Some words about gratitude

We’re well past the halfway mark now in NaNoWriMo 2016.  Unfortunately, I’m only just past the halfway in my own journey to 50,000 words.  Yes, it’s a challenging year this year and I’m starting to doubt that coveted certificate will be mine on 30 November. Then again, I’ve done some awesome last-weekend writes in the […]

Huck’s Cube of NaNo

Many thanks to everyone who turned out to my 2016 NaNoWriMo workshop at Milkwood yesterday. Below are the slides I used for my Cube of NaNo (behold, it will lead you through the November darkness), along with  few notes. This is the rule every NaNo noveller should know already, right? Don’t worry about the plan. Don’t worry about the character […]
