Adventure 198 ~ Edit Like A Pro

For today’s adventure, I attempt to edit like a pro. I read Steven Pressfield’s “The War Of Art” last weekend and it’s really helping me to keep the momentum going :).

In today’s video, I also share an unexpected side-effect of writing a story that comes out of the “local ground”.

Adventure 197 ~ Write A Faerie Story [7]

Well, I made it! Today I write and narrate the final part of my original faerie story, The Faerie Thorn. In this episode, you get to find out what happened to Man Donaghy’s good Big People looks, you learn what a borrow-body is, and some of you may cry at a certain point (I did!)

Everything I have shared with you is completely unedited and so now the adventure that lies ahead is an editing one!

Adventure 196 ~ Write A Faerie Story [6]

Well, it turns out that the Faerie Thorn folk have a little more story up their sleeves than I thought and so today is not the last part of the story!

Here’s me narrating what I’ve just written (it’s hot off the press and unedited, as usual). I wonder if you expected the trolls to take what they did from Man Donaghy? I wonder if you’ve worked out what the trolls are going to do with the thing they have taken from him? I wonder if you’re curious to know how successful the trolls were in getting rid of Β New Wife Donaghy?……

Adventure 194 ~ A Guided Tour Of The Places Which Inspired ‘The Faerie Thorn’

For today’s adventure, I’m giving you a guided tour of the real places which have inspired my faerie story, ‘The Faerie Thorn’! I’ve found that being in the real setting, or imagining the real setting, has really helped the story to take on a life of its own.

(Oh – and are you wondering how well the gifts I left for the faeries were received? …..)

There are 2 videos today ~ the first video is filmed on Man Donaghy’s farm and the second at the Gortanuey Bridge where the trolls live.

I am just going outside and may be some time.

Adventure 193 ~ Thank The Faeries Properly

Fairy drinkIt’s a holiday weekend here in Northern Ireland, so I’ve been away camping on the farm, close to the faerie thorn. TheΒ faerieΒ storyΒ I am writingΒ is still unfolding and it surprises me at every turn!

For today’s adventure, I took Leslie’s advice (I interviewed her last monday about the faeries) and went along to the faerie thorn to offer thanks for the story they have woven for me.

If you’ve been following my story, this short film may remind you of one of the characters……
