After several days struggling to find a way to charge my little Asus laptop and my mobile phone as well as accessing the internet I have finally found the solution. I am camping in Geneva, meeting as many people as I can to gain help with the future plot of Time Crystal. I’m trying hard, [...]

wyken@timecrystal.co.uk (Wyken Seagrave) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:53:23 +0000

Volume 2 Episode 25

Episode 25 sees Sam and Trissitia in the Big Bang. They have shrunk to the size of particles and, as far as the Universe is concerned, that is what they appear to be. It is this which allows them to withstand the incredible high temperatures and pressures caused by the continuous collisions [...]

Current Writing

At the moment I am working on Episode 4 of Volume 3. When I started work on it I already had the broad outline of what the Episode would contain, but it has still taken me seven days to finish the first draft. When I finish writing this newsletter one of my tasks will [...]

I also started recording Time Crystal in French. [...]

Working on Vol 3 Episode 3 for second week, and with 2000 words written, I realise that the event I had sketched out to be revealed in the final third of the chapter cannot be written as I had assumed because it hasn’t happened yet! This episode picks up the action from where it was [...]
