Wow, you seem really artistic - and I know how competitive animation is, so you must be really good.
I know what you mean about getting some short pieces published first, so you have a bit of a reputation. It's definitely good advice

She does sleep on the bed

Hihihi isn't that weird that we use the same slang

Yeah, I don't want to pay them that



Awwwww cute catty watty


Yeah, it is strange XD I barely know anyone else who says "go you". Who knows :S I suppose we pick things up from all over the place XD Though people do say I do have a bit of an English accent

Talking of writing, I heard that it is good to set up a web page and start promoting your book before it is finished. Some writers on a Facebook group were saying that publishers type your name into a search engine before they accept your manuscript, and if you have a good following already, they might be more likely to take your writing... Do you think that sounds like a good thing to do?
Actually, having mentioned it, I don't know anyone who says "go you!" either...
Hihihi, Doctor Who influtrating people around the world into speaking like and Englush person, like it

I see. I haven't heard of that before. I read that they don't want parts of your book out there already, as they want to have full rights, and get max profit, or something like that lol. I am not sure if it is a good idea :S I really don't know.
I see :O Well, Go us

Lol, yeah it's a brilliant show - I even picked up the word "brilliant" from it lol. I say it a lot these days. He is Scottish :O I guess it's kinda like finding out House is English lol. I haven't really heard of that Suchet guy. I think my favourite doctor was #9. Eccleston - or however you spell it lol. I liked #1,2,3,4,7,9,10,11. Never saw the movie. % and 6 were not up to the first 4's standards.

Reminds me of a Jasper Fforde novel, which is excellent!

If you get it published, make sure you PM me your Title so I can look it up.

I am trying to write a novel myself...it's a mix of Fforde, Orwell and probably Stan Lee (as I love Marvel/DC-esque plots), I have a small draft so far, which is about a Shape Shifter...but there is much more in the idea then that.

David Suchet is Hercule Poirot. I love that series. Hugh Laurie was House - he was great in my all time favorite series, Jeeves and Wooster. That is a very English series - ironically English, I would say. Another shocker, David Tennent isn't even really called David Tennent - he is called David McDonald :-O It is his acting name because when he started there was another actor called David McDonald. His favorite singer, from Wet Wet Wet had the surname Tennent, so he adopted it.

Hihihi Thanks. I think the whole world will know if I ever get published, I would be so chuffed, I probably will talk about if for a week - at least.
I love Orwell

Supernatural is always good, and Shape shifters' are interesting, I don't think it is an idea anyone has worked out fully. Are your characters going to be born that way, or does something make them like that?

Well it is never too late. Or, rather, better late then never. That is my philosophy anyway. Whenever I make mistakes I tend to be obsessed over trying to "undo" them and it often buffles me why most NT-s dont "undo". So my suggestion for you is to "undo" your "mistake" by studying physics



String theory and extra dimensions and all this other "cool" stuff is often lumped together in popular media but they are not the same. True, string theory USES extra dimensions; but there are plenty of other theories that use them too. So if you are interested in doing clever things with space and time, it doesnt have to be string theory; in fact, non-commutative geometry and doubly special relativity are both a lot more clever then string theory when it comes to geometry.
My advise is to try to pick up more professional books and study from there; because popular books tend to distort stuff. Recently they tried to make string theory accessible for undergrads in a book "First course in string theory" by Zeebach. That would probably be the only book you will understand. But still you need a bit of calculus and so forth. It was meant to be accessible to third year physics majors.
So tell me about your other interests. What made you interested in 17-th century history? Is it because of something specific that happened at the time in some specific countries, or is it because of rennaisance? What aspects of history are you most interested in?
I will now be on the look out to see if someone is selling the book by Zwiebach second hand on Amazon at a very reduced rate lol. What I think is good about string theory from a literary sense, is that people know about it. It already had a place in the popular consciousness. But when I write by book using string theory for the Welcome Book prize, you will have to make sure I don't get any of my facts wrong

I don't remember what first interested me in the 17th-18th hundreds... I remember reading books about Daniel Defoe, how he was put in stocks and pelted with flowers, about fops smoking opium, and how England was famous - as apposed to infamous - for being full of drunkards and beautiful girls. Romanticism resonates within me - the desire to get back to the way things were before, explained by so eloquently by Emily Dickenson, William Wordsworth and John Keats. I think we, as a society, at that time had taken our first steps away from the wild party of the 16th hundreds, and without restrictions you can't have rebels, so we had also started to get our first real hell-raisers

I should go to bed now, I can hear my dog snoring somewhere in the house lol.

I like when cats miau, that makes them soft, or at least that is the theory I had when I was little when I had a cat

I actually rescued a kitten few years ago, but I was unsure whether my landlord will allow me to keep her so I gave her away. Thankfully one of the people who met me on the street knew of no-kill shelter. Otherwise I would have never given her to any other kind of shelter

Good theory. It makes sense

I read somewhere that when cats purr, it stops them getting arthritis. So people who own cats rarely get it. I don't know if it is really true though.
Landlords are a pain ... don't tell mine, but I shouldn't have two animals, (and I have a dog and a cat). I will just deny it if they ever come around! I think they only put it in the contract in case you have a dog that barks all the time though, so they can force you to get rid of it. But my dog is only little, and my cat is disabled, so I think they only count as one full animal

Oh, what is it about?

It is a comedy based in the 30s or 40s, about a young, dumb, aristocrat type, called Bertie Wooster, played by Hugh Laurie, who keeps getting into scrapes. The series begins with Wooster totally drunk and in the dock for stealing a police mans hat as part of a bet with his friends. He highers a butler called Jeeves, played by Stephen Fry, who basically spends the rest of the series saving Wooster from the backlash of his actions and putting right his hairbrain schemes. There is a satire element, making fun of what is stereotypically English, it is kind of like the old Carry On's - but I think much funnier.
