Crikey, I've been down
in Tassie for almost three months now! Time flies when you're having
fun!
We've still been
exploring plenty, just haven't set the time aside for writing on the
blog. I've been writing plenty though, polishing off The HolturEnigma, finishing the first draft of the third—and
final—Necrosanguin instalment, and also making a start on TheHoltur Curse. Yep, Holtur's getting a trilogy!
Anyways, Tasmania has
been a beautiful state for writing in. The place is covered in
forest-covered mountains, spectacular waterfalls, lakes, and many
breathtaking views! When I first entered the state, via the Spirit of
Tasmania, I was immediately enchanted. Driving through the tiny
towns, forests, and mountains, on both sealed and dirt roads alike,
was an amazing experience. One thing I learnt early, is that despite
Tasmania's small size, the drives are all long and windy, but this
all adds to its charm!
I've settled down in
Queenstown, which is my base of operations for writing now. It's a
little cold here, but the place we are renting is surrounded in
green. It's a very special feeling. We have wild blackberries growing
around our house, which the black birds and Jen both love! She's even
baked a few delicious blackberry pies! Yummo!
Another great thing
about our new place, is that it doesn't take long to head into the
wilderness. Within hours are places you could spend an entire day
without passing another human being, or even hear a vehicle drive or
fly by.. Within half an hour of our place there are views that would
take your breath away. It is all sensationally motivating experience
for one bringing their own fantasy world to life.
While our blog releases
this year won't be nearly as common as they have been, I will try to
continue at a rate better than once every three months!
