Some utterly fantastic lines, such as " Ellis was trying, but his dark-adapted vision just wasn’t very well adapted to the dark." & “It almost looks like daylight,” Annabella observed and Ellis could only agree, but it was not searing daylight of the equatorial divide. It seemed more like the cold, harsh light of an overcast Tuesday in England." I much enjoyed and thought you did quite a good job of writing this after such a...gap. Some good writing to that effect. ;)James Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16713217984695774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-63376653021281497982015-09-06T21:20:58.820+01:002015-09-06T21:20:58.820+01:00Shadow has returned!!!

I'm sorry. It took a long time to write, due to a mixture of illness, tiredness and business, and then, it seemed, an equally long time to get around to posting for exactly the same reasons. To make matters worse I've been finding the story a little hard-going of late as well. I am committed to seeing it through to the end, but, since I have almost no interaction with readers, I'm not sure if I'm doing anyone a favour in that other than, possibly, myself. Still, tomorrow is another day and, hopefully, it will see a burst of inspiration that helps to push the story forward and gives me a good reason to write it. I aim to be posting again next weekend, so, hopefully, see you then!Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868936677041820760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-42562305962280662922014-12-15T18:22:35.025+00:002014-12-15T18:22:35.025+00:00Just spent a delightful time drinking my mocha and...Just spent a delightful time drinking my mocha and reading the last few updates(since I'd gotten sadly behind!!)

And to anyone else reading this I would add - I do read comments - I love to read comments in fact and if you have anything you'd like to say with respect to Shadow, positive or negative, I'd really love to hear it. I trust that I have readers, but if you don't ever say hi, I'll never know for sure...Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868936677041820760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-5389163833774429652014-09-08T02:05:36.548+01:002014-09-08T02:05:36.548+01:00Beautiful.

Times? There are whole seasons when this can be the case. The last couple of weeks have been one such season, with work being rather more chaotic than usual and my holidays consisting of leadership duties at various kids camps and holiday clubs. These do not make for great writing conditions and this is why, for someone like me, who does not have the privilege of being a full time writer, I do, occasionally, miss a week. I am extremely apologetic every time of course and I hate to think I am letting people down, but the truth is I just sometimes don't have the time, energy or organisational skills to carry out the work required to get a half-decent episode out of the door in time.<br /><br />So, yeah, I just thought a general explanation for last week's complete Shadow absence should be given, as well as letting you know, those of you who (however silently) continue to read my stuff, that I am extremely grateful for your choosing to stick with me despite such moments of unreliability.<br /><br />And, since I'm using this time to chat anyway, I just want to say how excited I am that Volume IV is nearly coming to an end and that various tangled character plots seem to be unravelling in dramatic style at the moment. It's been fun to write and I hope it's been fun to read. Next week, God-willing: the final confrontation between our heroes and the Noble Society of Hypostatick Philosophers!Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868936677041820760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-2016372075178481722014-07-27T21:16:18.165+01:002014-07-27T21:16:18.165+01:00Awesome update(much more "enjoyable" tha...Awesome update(much more "enjoyable" than last one!!).

I hope you've been enjoying Shadow so far and all the craziness and drama of the last few episodes has kept your interest. If the whole 'Introspections' thing hasn't been your cup of tea, however, you will be pleased to know that part IV was the end of that section of the story and we can move properly into the final stages of Volume IV - not that I know how many episodes that will take.<br /><br />What I do know, however, is that there will be a Volume V and that is will almost certainly be the final volume of this story. I never could have imagined I'd still be writing it, or the kinds of adventures these characters would have continued to have, but I very much look forward to rounding the story off over the next year or so in Volume V. I hope you'll all continue to enjoy the journey with me!Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868936677041820760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-22378910067521868802014-07-15T14:02:45.620+01:002014-07-15T14:02:45.620+01:00Apologies for the delay with this week's Shado...Apologies for the delay with this week's Shadow. I did not have reliable internet access and, due to unforseen circumstances, didn't have as much time to finish the episode as I had expected. Chances are next week's will be delayed also, but I hope to be back on track after that. Anyway, this episode features some pretty shocking developments which, I hope, will have you talking about it for a while!Seraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868936677041820760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607893274808105146.post-35653115526586930922014-06-01T22:09:07.480+01:002014-06-01T22:09:07.480+01:00You are very mean.
