Editing – seriously!

Revising MA dissertation and an old manuscript – a teen mystery. Said good bye to twitter after 13 years. The sun shines. Onwards…

I have stalled at the writing of the next Mia Tale. You will see why when it is eventually published here. In the meantime pancakes sweetend with honey, a dollop of Greek yoghurt on the side, and some lovely marking in a wee coffee cup – I see a woman standing in profile. I think she is with child.

The Last Kingdom

I surprised myself when choosing to watch Viking dramas – the whole swords and helmets thing isn’t my rub. I liked and persevered with Viking Valhalla. Then found The Last Kingdom and was hooked. This series deserves much more recognition. The tale is well told (based on Cornwell’s Saxon Stories) and is a Mud’n’Blood saga. Lots of swords slaying people in a bezerker (Viking term for warrior gone mad) fashion. But in amongst all that are compelling characters, fighting with passion for their claim on lands, thrones, goodies. It’s difficult not to take sides in a world of the not-so-good and rather-bad individuals.

Cornwell admits he takes liberties with history, but it doesn’t really matter, I wasn’t going to take that side of things all that seriously.

I heartily recommend The Last Kingdom saga, there is a film to come based on the last three books. Catch it on Netflix. I’ll not give any spoilers. If you have watched it, share your thoughts!

Destiny is all!
