And The Battle Goes On...

Recovering from flu now and getting back to work, I'm trying hard (again) to complete the story of Alexander with its last part.
The story evolved into a battle between Alexander and the demon. There is no planning in the story, just going on with writing. For this reason, I'm stopping a lot and get many blocks where I cannot move further til I get some rest and get some time to proceed with the rest of the story. I reached line 300 so far, which is good I think!

In the meantime, I'm still working as well on my brother's website, and also I've created a blog for himself with a new email account in GMail. I think I shall take care of all these technical stuff later on even after finishing the website, because I don't think he can do all the advertising by himself and the blogging as well. I guess I will write the blog on his behalf. His blog now is:
fshamali.blogspot.com, Eye Image Designs blog.

Sickness...

Coping with my sickness while writing these words. For several days I didn't touch anything in the story and all what I do is sleep most of the time and yet I'm tired. I can't say I have a strong fever but it is coming and going.
In the meanwhile, working on with my brother's website is almost taking all my time when I'm at home and I don't do anything else. I'm trying to achieve something by reading a lot of Flash tutorials, because as it seems, this is the neatest way to do it.
The view is blurred about the site and its sections and this holds me back from doing many things about the text and some effects. I have to cope with it that way.
I'm a taking a break from all of that and play a game or two as well! Reading so much makes me eyes blur images...

Quenching...

This morning, I was going on writing and writing and writing... when suddenly something pulled me back and couldn't find appropriate words. I guess my brain is just exhausted right now?

I'm busy with creating some webpage for my brother, thus it is hard for me a little to write the story at home. Otherwise, if I'm not working on it, I would be playing around with some game! For the time being I'll spend my time reading some tutorials that might help me in doing my work for my brother.

I've started to get thrilled by the length and the effort needed to translate and do other stuff to this part of the story! I didn't estimate it that way! I've reached 240 lines til now and still the story goes on. My thoughts lead me (without previous planning) to make Alexander meet the killer of his father, a demon.

Note: drinking a HOT pepsi, is not a good idea, AT ALL.

Exceeding the limit...

Trying to go on with the story of my Alexander, and his journey to the lands of the Ayvars. I think the story is going to be a bit long... longer than I thought maybe...anyway I made an open limit for myself for this part.
The twist took my mind to the Shepherds (you can see them on the map in previous post). Alexander meets them and they worship some demon that controls a volcano, Fulkan Muttere.
Number of lines now exceeded 144 already... and up to this moment I reached the 192. No idea what to do next but bits are coming along slowly... slowly.

Away from eye, away from heart (mind)...

The cats... have been taken away.
Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to take a photo of Lunatus, the silver tabby with his smooth fur.

Trying to amuse myself little bit with playing around in photoshop... yet I feel the blood is almost exploding out of my nostrils and the pressure is increasing on my head's sides.

Still Writing!!!

Trying to find more and more to write for the story and in the same time was busy fixing and uploading some photos to the net for my cat!
In the same time I'm getting things ready to make a simple webpage for my brother to help him out in his work and to be able to do an online business. I think he just wants a page to put his CV but I think of a bigger picture. We'll see what I can do.
Trying to find more elements to add to the story but I can't get the hang on anything yet. This is the bad part of hating to watch movies I guess... hope this block will go away soon... I am late in my work for Ayvarith already.

Slow Progressing...

After finishing major stuff for work and my online course I might have plenty of time in my hands (neglecting the fact that I didn't work on the Arabic poster that I always wanted to do), but still I can't work on the story... the mood swings take a large portion of my mind.
I tried to write down some words but the story is still in its beginning although I reached 70s in lines' numbers.
The list of games is growing and I can't play them too since there is no mood as well!!!
Thinking of doing a simple homepage for my brother to put his CV on it with some of his work. He might be able to work online as well.
In the same time, I'm still planning to visit the island of Failaka even though I never heard back from those people. At least just to visit the place and change some mood away from the city. I need to get the schedule. It is almost the end of March now and very likely we might go out in April if I was lucky enough! ..... no one is able to get the schedule of the trips to the island and I'm busy here in this office doing stuff and can't leave that long (and if I have the time, no mood too).

You might be surprised to see me talk about my mood all the time but, this is my main problem. Everything is controlled by my mood. I can't enhance that, and everytime I try to do so I just fail again and again! What to do if you have a noisy home in the first place and surrounded by people that look at you as an alien?

Well, Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig everyone, Happy St. Patrick Day (nope I don't celebrate it!).

Just when I thought...

Things are going smooth for now and I installed some games to start with (I'm not telling their names). I finished my report for my online course about Failaka island. I was going to write some more for my story of Alexander but unfortunately more loads appeared to me in the way and I have to do more statistical job!

So I think it is another pause. The situation is not helping me to think of something to write for the story. I need some rain... the sound of the rain would help me out to calm down and think but from where I can get some rain? It is dusty as hell here!
Hopefully I can play my game today.
After finishing this story loads of work awaits me to publish.

Writing Stopped

Couldn't keep on writing with continuous work, at home and at work!
At work, I'm trying hardly to understand some of the basics and trying to push my way through some aspects of my work. I made a print out of some data sets (some were without the aknowledgement of my experienced co-worker). It is nothing serious really, but I need to do it quietly.
With that, at home I'm busy trying to find more and more information through the net about the excavations in Failaka, past and modern. The net in this aspect is not a good source of information and yet I can get my hands on any journals or articles. The library in Kuwait University isn't a good source for obtaining journals. I tried to get something from them and all what they do is divert me to someone else or ask me to call them and speak to the main head of that departmentl... and they don't have registered accounts in Springerlink or JSTOR archives like some other institutes here. Anyway, I guess I have to depend solely on the internet and whatever comes in my way.
Thus, writing the story shall be postponed for now until I can gather some of my mediocre imagination back!
