Welcome

This blog is just to record my experience of writing a story. That is something I have wanted to do all my life. I guess it is now or never.

I am just doing it for fun. I do not really intend to publish it. Mind you, I shall give that a try if I ever get it finished :).

The blog is only intended for me to keep a diary of my thoughts and for some of my close friends, especially those at the Richmond Writers' Circle (bless them for their patience).

If you have found your way here by accident, comments are welcome - especially the kind ones.

If you are, like me, attempting to write your first novel, please share the ups and downs.

Chapter 2 Scene 3.2

The ladies arrive at Boleskine House

Chapter 2 Scene 3.2

I agree with Alice. I was hoping for something a bit more Gothic too.

Here is  Boleskine House.  It is said that Crowley chose it for it's orientation after a long search. It is hard to believe that he had to go so far just for orientation, Someone on the internet said that he chose it because of the Loch Ness monster but that seems unlikely as there were, as far as I know, no reports of sightings back then. They came later.

Here is the layout of Boleskine House. I tried to heep the action at least plausible in terms of the reality of the location. As a general rule though, while I try to keep as close as I can to how things really were, when push comes to shove, the needs of the story come first.






This is a picture of a Crowley ritual. It is occult but not devil worship or black magic. Within the reality tunnel of the occult, Crowley was said to have been good at it. I'm not sure that this was taken at Boleskine House or in Italy where he owned a place subsequently.


There is quite a lot on Youtube about Crowley and Boleskine House. I haven't tried this before but here I hope will be a link to one of them.
