  1. Hey Ned!

    Don't think we've crossed paths before on the forum, but I noticed your Sig and the Mark Lamarr quote is so good! He's brilliant!

    :)

  2. I'm not ashamed to admit I do get emotional when watching films that really touch me. I can't think of any off the top of my head but I remember getting sad in I Am Legend with the dog scene. Partly because I have a dog and love him to bits so yeah... Generally though, I am able to hold back actually crying but when something moves me, I really feel it.
  3. I was incredibly dubious for months about the whole Twilight 'Movement' and only recently gave in to reading the first book as it was in HMV for around
  4. Oooh, some sort of Word document with feelings as general or specific as come natural would be perfect :D it would make my relationship with my printer a lot easier too, printing straight from Hotmail confuses the poor dear!

     

    As we speak the story so far has been bunged (unsure whether that's the right declination of the verb 'to bung'?) your way to that end :D the day before yesterday sounds good to me, I hope it fills the void at the end of your days too - that would be two people made happy!

     

    I'm intrigued as to what your book's about, by the way... or is it a big secret, perhaps even from yourself, at this stage?

  5. Haha, Consider it read and posted the day before yesterday! Hows that for punctuality?

    :)

    But yeah, I spend a lot of time late at night doing nothing so that would be an ideal gap filler that I will enjoy!

    Bung them my way and I will give you some comments etc.

    Would you like a sort of Word document with just some general feelings and that jotted down?

  6. Hello

     

    Glad to hear you're not hating your novel yet.

     

    I'm currently in the throes of trying to finish Chapter 4; however Chapter 3 hasn't been sent out to all and sundry yet due to me still needing to finish collecting comments on 1 & 2 - I can resend everything up to Chapter 2 to your new address for your perusal, however:

     

    I need to know if my readers are committed if I'm to stick to my masterplan (I rather want to have most of the thing in 'sendable to agent' form by the end of the year) so I just want to make sure you think you can promise me unfaltering loyalty even with your own book and uni to be getting on with?

     

    I really want to get Chapter 3 out in the open as soon as is humanly possible so I'd love to hear your thoughts, but I'd really need them, like, yesterday if that's alright?

  7. Hello!

    How is the novel coming on.

    If you fancy sending me all you have so I can have a read through (as I have been very crappy and not done as I promised) then send it to

    (danieloakshott at gmail.com)

    and I will give you some thoughts.

    I have started writing a novel of sorts. It's my first attempt ever so I don't expect it to be any good but on the plus side, I have read back through a few times, over the course of about a week and don't hate it yet!

    I know what style I want to write it in and stuff so yeah! I am enjoying it so far.

    Hope you are well!

  8. It is, however, hilarious that you didn't find it funny, yet felt the need to put a nonsensical reply that made no point about anything at all. FYL. At least some people here have a sense of humour. The film version of Animal Farm is great, if I remember correctly from School. I really want to see 1984 because the book is incredible and I have heard that the film is amazing and apparently terrifying!
  9. I don't ever watch TV or Films but I've always thought, if someone were to make the Harry Potter series into films, they would make an absolute fortune! I could be a millionaire!
  10. Been reading a bit of Aldous Huxleys Brave New World, as I am really into the 'Modern Dystopia' novels at the moment! Bit way layed with recording some songs but will read more later!
  11. There is a lot of great poetry around in London at the moment. Check out (just search on youtube) Kate Tempest, Poeticat, Polarbear poet and/or Laura Dockerill. All of them are great! I've seen the first three perform live and it is incredible. This wasn't what got me into poetry as I have always loved it, however it has turned a lot of my friends to poetry and think it is a good start to introducing young people (especially those who don't have many cultural influences) in particular to poetry.
  12. I recently bought a couple of books from HMV, one of which being Snuff. I'm reading something else first but will be reading it next as my girlfriend has started it and is really enjoying it, and she won't read anything that isn't interesting! I know the structure of the novel and the idea sounds brilliant!
  13. I think you might be thinking of the book 'Wintersmith'? Possibly? I believe that that book is the third in the set of 3 about Tiffany Aching? That might be why you didn't enjoy it as much. There are two more to read before hand but I do agree that the witches are also brilliant! Nobby and Vimes are great. I was genuinely a bit sad in Men at Arms when . His relationship with Detritus is brilliant and I really loved reading the parts of the book with them two.
  14. I loved Going Postal! too. It was brilliant, and although first time through I got a bit lost with Making Money, I think having a second stab at it will make it much more enjoyable. Moist is brilliant!
  15. Hello and welcome! I might be heading to the south of Ireland sometime soon to visit a good friends family as a chance to get out the city!
