RAW Special Edition - Sherlock Holmes

By

I love reading Sherlock Holmes stories, every few years I'll revisit some of this stories. Just this week I've just finished reading The Hound of the Baskervilles and after the 4th or 5th time still love it. I'll also watch the film and TV adaptoions as well but I would encourage you to put aside sometime to actually read the source material.

Following are a few random articles that I've been saving up about Sherlock Holmes.  Enjoy them with a pot of Earl Grey Tea.  If you want to show your Fandom and support me as well, why not head on over to my TeePublic page and grab a Hound Of The Baskervilles T-shirt.  You don't have to stick with the colour I've chosen you can choose your own colour, shirt style or even get the design on a mug if you wish. Head on over and take a look. [link]

Read The Lost Sherlock Holmes Story Found In An Attic - Telegraph

After an historian unearthed the first unseen Sherlock Holmes story in more than 80 years, here is the full transcript of 'Sherlock Holmes: Discovering the Border Burghs and, by deduction, the Brig Bazaar': 'We've had enough of old romancists and the men of travel, said the Editor, as he blue-pencilled his copy, and made arrangements for the great Saturday edition of the Bazaar Book. 'We want something up-to-date. Why not have a word from "Sherlock Holmes"?'

Stopping By Baker Street: The Sherlock Holmes Exhibition

As I write to you, I have just come from The International Sherlock Holmes Exhibition, which has recently landed at the Pacific Science Center. I am fairly awash in hyperactive excitement about the whole thing. It’s amazing I’m writing this, because honestly, it’s amazing I left at all



Sherlock Holmes, Where To Start?

You may think you know who Sherlock Holmes is. We’ve all seen at least one movie or television show or play, right? It’s nearly impossible to be unfamiliar with The Great Detective as saturated as pop culture is with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation. Figuring out where to start with Conan Doyle’s stories (56!) and novellas (4!) can be daunting. Fear not, though!

Verner Vinge and The Fermi Paradox | A Fire Upon The Deep

By
There are two things about this book that I really like: The first is Verner Vinge's take on the Fermi Paradox and the second are the Tines, an alien race he created for the story. [Would you rather watch the video edition of this post? - releasing soon.] I love reading Science Fiction and Fantasy stories and one of my favourite things about these books are all the different non-human races that we encounter. In Fantasy it’s normally just a handful of races like Elves and Dwarfs, but in Science Fiction there is an unlimited amount of different alien races out there… but what about in real life? In real life… Have you ever wondered where all the aliens are? Have you ever been looking at the stars and wondered ‘Are we alone in the universe ?’ If so you’re not alone. There has been a lot of discussion about this topic by people from all walks of life including philosophers, scientist and writers. In fact this discussion has a name: The Fermi Paradox. The Fermi Para...

Bibliophiles who love a good mystery, or conspiracy, should be familiar with the Voynich Manuscript. In the article that follows I’ll take you through a quick overview on this mystery and then provide you with some links for further reading. Enjoy! The mysterious Voynich Manuscript has been hanging around for almost 500 years, most of that time it was lost among a private collection but is now the focus of intense of scrutiny. It is famous for being written in an unknown language or code which, so far, has yet to been deciphered. The Voynich manuscript, or Beinecke Ms. 408, is thought to be the only medieval document on the planet in that category. This handwritten codex famous for its indecipherable language also contains drawings of strange plants, Zodiac star charts, and what looks like women bathing in green water.

Cycling In The Dark - A Technique For Writing Fiction.

By
I’ve been reading a lot of ‘ how-to ’ books on writing novels recently, the majority of them talk about creating an outline even before writing the first draft. For those of us who have attempted this sort of thing it does make sense. Step 1: Create and outline of your story, know where and when everything will happen. Step 2: Write your first draft, don’t worry about spelling mistakes or typo’s just let your creative voice have free reign so you can get the story out there. As Joanna Penn says ‘ splurge on words and ideas ’ in this first draft. Step 3: Spent time editing. That is using your critical voice, correcting the spelling mistakes and typo’s, rewriting and polishing the story. The problem is that we spend a lot of time on step 1 and never seem to be able to finish.
