The Darkest Day

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

I’ve uploaded a new section of William Morris’ Sigurd the Volsung, unabridged. This latest scene is the one I find most wrenching in all the poem.

Later: I have uploaded two more scenes also. We are nearing the end of Book III.

Work proceeds on The Winds of Winter. I’m working on adding a scene to the mid-section of the story. After that, I have only the ending left to write.

The Will of the Norns is Accomplished

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I’ve uploaded a new section of William Morris’ Sigurd the Volsung, unabridged. I find this one of the two most painful sections of the story. (The other is coming up.)

The pneumonia is interfering with my work a lot, but I’ve made some progress on The Winds of Winter. I’ve begun the last interpolated scene. I have some minor editing for tone to do, and the end scene(s) to write. I’m pleased overall.
