Chapter Illustrations have been Posted!

Thanks for all the wonderful emails and comments on YouTube - I have great news!

The illustrations for each chapter (Up to and including Chapter 5 so far) have been posted - Including a spooky drawing of "The Dark Man" on the inside cover - I will make them clickable to a high res version once Peter Inks the finals - but as for now, I simply could not wait. More chapter art to come!

The thing that gets me is that the picture that Peter drew of the dark man is really not too far off - oh well, no sleep for me tonight...(sigh)...

Take a look, and see what a GREAT job that Artist Peter Francis did! (Spooky indeed...) I love the Clothes Thing, (chapter 4) and the Picture (Chapter 5) - Awesome!

Take a look, and let me know what you think - the beginning of the novel, and on every chapter page...

Till later!

Pages 234 - 240 are posted...

Just when Doug thought it couldn't get any worse, he realizes that there comes a time to reap what you sew...

Pages 234 - 240 are posted in "He Still Watches" Online Novel...Enjoy!

Looks like postings are going to be on Sundays from now on - Just too hard to get the time to do it for Saturday - New job, wedding 3 weeks away - pretty busy, that's for sure!

Local Halifax Artist Peter Francis has just sent me professional drawings for the Novel, and I tell you, they are simply AWESOME! I will be posting them very soon, and it will be one for every chapter - Also, there are three interpretations of the Dark Man - I can't wait for everybody to see them, and let me know what you think... Many, many thanks to Peter, GREAT job buddy!

Well, back to the work thing... I will have the pics posted to the Novel this week...

Till next week, keep reading!

Pages 227 - 233 are posted...

Doug's fate is quickly being sealed... Sometimes it just better to keep your mouth shut.

Pages 227-233 have been posted - enjoy!

Well, the writing is back on track - My new job has stirred up my schedule and is making it difficult to write, but I will settle into the new routine...

The new people that I work with are awesome! The new job is a dream, and the learning curve is high, but I will master it before long. I do have to say, what an absolutely great bunch of people that I now work with! I have been out of that field (Computers) for about 8 years now, but it is starting to come back to me now... Funny how you can forget even the most basic of commands when you don't think about them for so long - the first week, I felt like a complete idiot! But the cobwebs are starting to clear, and thinks will go fine, I'm sure. It's kinda like riding a bike - (A geek bike...) Heheheh....

I think that due to my new schedule, I will start posting on every SUNDAY now, rather than Saturdays... It gives me an extra day that I need to get the pages all together.... Sorry about that....

Well, back to it! Till next week...

No Posts Today...

Hi Gang,

My profound apologies - as I stated last week, due to a new job that I started Tuesday past, I was unable to do any work on the novel this past week - the new job has kept me fairly busy, but it is a fantastic career opportunity that I cannot afford to give less than my full attention - As with all jobs, routine will be settling in soon, and I will get back to regular posting next week (perhaps even sooner if I am able...)

Thanks again for all the emails of encouragement, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the show of support, and what can I say? I am humbled...

Hang in there, much more to follow....

Thanks all,

~D.M.~

TV Interview is Finally Posted

Hi Gang,

The TV Interview is finally posted - to view it, simply scroll to the bottom of this BLOG, and it is the First YouTube video shown. Or, if you like, it is on the beginning of the online novel, Right beside page one - Take a watch, and let me know what you think!

Till next week,

~D.M.~

Pages 220 - 226 are posted...

Doug finds himself somewhere that he really doesn't want to be...

Pages 220 to 226 are posted for your enjoyment.

I am going to try and post the Eastlink Magazine TV Interview today. I think that the best way will be to put it into the beginning of the Novel, probably on page 3 or 4 so that it will be watchable that way - I may try Youtube, but don't want to get in trouble - Copyright issues and all - I will check into it a bit...

A very cool thing is becoming popular that I may want to take a bit of a try at. It seems that there is a new thing called "Cellywood" where short 10 minute videos are produced to be downloaded and viewed on Cell Phones, and other such small screened mobile devices - Given the fantastic Trailer done by Rob Wright (AKA Robbie Dingo in Second Life) It is a natural transition. I am going to produce an episode or two and see how it goes over. If it goes as planned, corporate sponsors or private donations will fund further episodes, and after a while, it could become the first ever movie produced exclusively for cell phones... As you can probably tell, I love technology, and doing things that nobody else does...

Lots of work ahead, so better get at it - I start a new job in real life next week, so I may not get a chance to post next week, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it... I may have time, but I don't know yet...

Well, till next week, keep reading, and pass the web address to a friend...
