Well the new PC I recieved had a cracked motherboard and everything else wrong with it, it couldnt even play a single track without going wrong severly. So I returned it to PC world and with the help of their terrible staff I got a new Packard Bell iMedia which, I have to say is a superstar, it can do so much and so quickley and has a decent graohics card to play some great games.

Writing is going fairly well and I should be starting it soon when I have everything on my new PC sorted. 

I started one story and its merged into The Mauve Eye, I've decided to hell with a plan, I'm writing this from the top of my head along with my world and character builds. I may end up regretting it but I never have had a good plan when I write it down, this seems to have a little depth to it.

Im using the Mauve Eye for a contest I've started and entering, "Lumos 3 Month Novel Challenge" and Ive told myself to write a minumum of 1000 words a day starting from Monday.

Oh and I should be getting a new PC soon YAY!

Well, now I am back from Chamonix I hope to continue with The Mauve Eye and also more writing of mine that I started what seems like months ago.

Chamonix was excellent, I enjoyed going on the ski-slope and Aguille du Midi — the views were fantastic and gave me much inspiration for mounthain writing.

Apart from the good bits I feel like I am on the ferry (up and down) and the transport and food at the hotel were abysmal.

In a few hours I will be on a VERY long journey to Chamonx on hte Franco-Swiss borders. A 22 journey is all I need to sap my creativity. Hopefully I will invent up a few characters while I'm on the bus and I'll plug them into my PDA. Of course from now on I will be working on The Mauve Eye, I cant wait to develop the first person from my sample chapter I write before building.

I have taken my PDA and keyboard so it may be possible to write a few things while I am there. I cant wait to go and go on Mount Blanc, it should be inspirational.

Blog Update in a Week!

I have maths exams. I will repeat: I HAVE MATHS EXAMS. The revision gets in the way of story writing and is acting as a creative blockade for my "flow". I can't wait for today to be over then I will finally have done the exams and I can concentrate on what I do best: Write.

Of course in a few weeks I have to do the REAL GCSE Maths *sigh*  My writing always seems to be post-poned by some ridiculas thing as an exam. Oh Well..

Welcome to the Dark Elite blog page. This is the first and introductery post to a hopefully long running Blog in the future.

I am Adam, a young teen author who has been starting and only just carrying on with a novel project, my experiance will hopefully benifit young authors as I write various articles on writing and especially novel writing.

Most articles will be on the development of novels and the way I go about starting a project and  write. Other on writing articles may be about writing Dark Fantasy and key elements that I use in my work. Either way I hope the posts I submit are of use to you as a young author and will be benificial to your writing.

If you have any questions or comments just leave a comment after a post.
