That is my deviantART position

Just need that little push to get it all done, I suppose.

I'm about 80% done with the third part of 'Visions of the Future', which details the life of my character in the distant future of the Matrix Universe. I'm enjoying writing that piece but I'm fairly sure I got carried away during the third part making it too depressing and morbid. When it's typed up from its written state we'll see how it looks, then I can tone it up or down. But nearly there.

Furthermore, I've nearly finished the second part of my Star Wars: The Old Republic character backstory, 'A Path's Beginning'. That, too, is all written up and nearly all typed, as well. Only problem is I don't believe it to be nearly long enough to be ready for submission yet. It doesn't tell enough of the tale to be any more than useless filler (which I despise).

And finally, on the writing front, the second part of 'Find Your Way' has been on the precepice of being finishe for quite some time now. Once again, I just need that tiny little incentive to push it forward and into completion. That said, however, I'm probably going to find it too short too. But we'll see. I'll just be glad to get the three pieces finished. I'm really enjoying writing them all.

The last note about actual work for deviantART is related to the late Matrix Online; I uploaded the piece 'The Endless Void' [link] several days ago and that's the final piece I've done for MxO, and the last in my '>Re: War' collection. Now that my grieving of sorts for MxO has subsided, my desire to continue making graphical work and tying up all my loose ends has subsided somewhat, so I'm in no rush to make anything new.

However, I am thinking about uploading all of my 'War' collection from MxO to deviantART. I'd like certain opinions from you, my followers, about that; both from those of you who have already seen the collection and those who have not. What do you think? Worth it?

Finally, how about me? Not much has been happening in my life during the Summer. Up until two days ago (Wednesday, that is). I had heard that Mr. Eddie Izzard was running a leg of his 1000 mile Marathon through Liverpool then, so a friend and I conspired to go see him and give him our support. We had originally planned to meet him at the ferry dock in town, where he was getting the ferry across from Birkenhead, but by the time we were aware and ready, he was running again.

So, we went to our backup plan; catch up with him. We hopped on our bikes and began our journey. We made very good progress and travelled the 10 miles he travelled in a third of the time he travelled it. By the time he got to Orskirk (about 9 miles from where we started), we were half a mile away from him.

Eventually, we overtook him somehow--we think he stopped for Lunch out of sight--and so waited for him at a pub. Eventually he showed up, shook all of our hands, took a picture with me (in the process of being obtained), signed my boxset (see here [link]) and then thanked us and moved on.

10 miles of riding for 5 minutes of meeting Eddie Izzard; it was more than worth it.

Of course, then we had to ride 10 miles back. So now my arse hurts from a bruised pelvis. But oh well. My Dad was very proud of me, having been an excellent cyclist in his day.

But anyway, I'm running out of things to say; not much has happened beyond me meeting Mr. Izzard, but I'd certainly say that was worthy of a large chunk of this journal. Until next I have something to report, watch this space; I should be uploading all of the new writings during the next two weeks.

Pleasantry,
