Started

The writing blog has been created and I'm currently writing my first post.

Time to clarify a few things for my own personal reference, and that of the examiners.

I have made sure that my written work is released under full copyright license, as can be seen by the side bar of the blog. My photography will be released under a CC license as I don't mind people using that.

Photographically-wise I use a Canon Powershot A700, along with InfranView to resize the pictures. Pictures are hosted on my university webspace, as be will any other material.

All my work is written on my laptop and periodically backed up to my desktop and the university drives.

I am kept sane by my desktop as it has my music collection on it, along with a good set of speakers.

I think this is it for technological information at present, but I'm sure I'll think of more.

Change of Direction

Recently, I have been sitting down to do this project and coming up with a huge blank.

So I have decided to take action and change the project. If I can't get inspired around it, I'll choose something I am inspired by. Instead, I will be documenting my thought processes (and state of my desk and life) as I attempt to write a 50k word novel for NaNoWriMo.

This blog will still be tracking the status of the project and any technical occurrences, whereas the actual blog will be focusing on my thoughts and feelings.

A new mission statement will have to be written up, and that will be done shortly.
