Developing characters is a treat. 10% of building a character is determining some features and a name. The rest? That's mostly down to them. We don't get a say in their personalities, their traits, everything that makes them unique. We have always tried to. We've tried making them a specific type of person, a good guy …

Dramatic Monday
Our holiday already feels like it’s been months ago, and that we’re long overdue for a new week…. Or three… The bad part about having a solid week together to buckle down and get to work, is going back to our usual lives afterwards. It doesn’t just feel like we’ve stopped making progress, it feels …
Bursting Bubbles
A new year always comes with certain revelations that we come to. We like to look back and think that we’ve had a good year, and to some extent we have. We’ve done some sorting, some writing, and slipped some missing pieces into place. Rewarding experiences, because it moves what we’ve been doing forward. But …
Happy New Year!
Time goes fast. I've barely gotten used to jotting down 2017 instead of 2016 and now I have to adjust to 2018?! You're killing me here! It is almost time to say goodbye to 2017 and embrace 2018. Or fall face first into it after a little too much champagne! Whichever way you celebrate the end …
Downtime
There's not a whole lot to report this week. We might have just returned from holiday, but we were in dire need of another. We took some time away from the brain breaking projects and had a bit of us time. This didn't mean we were completely absolved of characters of course, they were here, …
Welcome to Charlotte and Clara
I have caught a bug. Now don't worry, I'm fine, it's actually not as bad. It does make me tuck in a little earlier at night and sleeping has been made into a bit of a struggle, but at the same time it does wear me out enough to send me into a peaceful slumber. …
Watching, Reading, Gaming
Film, book, game. Not going to lie, out of the two of us. I'm not much of a reader – yes I know this sounds so weird. I try, and I really enjoy reading, I just don't allow myself the time to get through a chapter, when there's plenty for us to do. If I …
S, not a Z
With a new system of getting organised comes a bundle of tasks that need tending to. Things we've yet to do but have been pushed to the bottom of the pile because in the grand scheme of things they're important – but they're not vital. Vital is what captures our main focus. Important generally means that …
The Unexpected
We almost had another blip! I’m very blippy. Not going to lie, Clara is a lot more organised in this department than I am. She will sort out her blog posts in the morning before we get into anything, and [i]then[/i] write. I will allow myself to get distracted into a tonne of different things …
Reading
Last weekend I was out of the country for a bit with family.. The beauty about Clara and I working together is that a change of country isn't something that will hold us back. We're in different countries as we speak. The only difference is that my time on a computer often is limited during …
