    First of all, for those of you who may be curious, I managed to complete NaNoWriMo for the fourth year in a row. Woo-hoo!

    Secondly, in the immortal words of Slade; it's Chriiiiiistmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! Yes, tomorrow will be Christmas Day, which will mean plenty of gifts to give and receive. I've decked out my bedroom with some festive things and can't wait until tomorrow (I sound like a little kid, but I really do love Christmas even after all this time).

    Thirdly, I apologise for the lack of updates in both art and stories. Since NaNo, I've been somewhat busy and haven't really been able to work on things like new art or the next part of 'Twilight Princess: The Continuing Legend'. Hopefully, come 2008 I'll kick myself into working on these things again.

    In the meantime, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Ugh! I was supposed to do some more site-tweaking before now, but I kept putting it off and never got around to it... as usual. And today is the last day before NaNoWriMo, so I'll feverishly writing about like a mad thing. Like before, if you wish to follow my progress, you only need to view my NaNo profile. So, I'll see you in December, then. If I haven't written myself into a coma before then, that is!

    Oh, yeah, and it's Halloween today. Bah! I don't mind the dressing up, but the trick-or-treaters do my head in!

    Well, October's here, which means I'm getting my writing head into gear in preparation for this year's National Novel Writing Month in November. After three successful years, I'm hoping for a repeat performance again this time. So, what does this mean? Well, 'Twilight Princess: The Continuing Legend' will be put on hold during the event, as will any other projects associated with this site. Much like normal, then!

    I've also tweaked the 'Gary the Gryph' and 'Misc. Writings' pages a bit. Now all the stories will open in the window you're using, instead of opening in a new one. I didn't really see much point in the previous set-up, as all the stories had 'return to wherever' links anyway. If you have any complaints or questions about this, though, you can let me know at chezlg AT aol DOT com (or you can check the Contact page). That's it for now, I'm afraid. See you next time.

    Oh dear. It's been, what, over two months since the last update. Unfortunately, I've been suffering from an art slump lately, and have nothing new to show art-wise. However, after much procrastination, writer's block, and more procrastination, I have completed 'Wolf's Oath', the second story in 'Twilight Princess: The Continuing Legend'. It can be found in the relevant section in Misc. Writings, but be warned; this one's a little bit darker than 'The Return Of The King'.

    That's it, I'm afraid. Old news has been shifted to the archive, but there's nothing else to note, really. See you next time.


10/7/07

    Again, only two new pics form this update. And again, it's one in 'Paintings' and one in 'Black and White'. I'm still working on the next instalment of 'Twilight Princess: The Continuing Legend', and I'm still trying to finalise plans on where the 'Gary the Gryph' series is headed. Remember, if you have any questions, comments, or feedback about this site, you can always contact me at chezlg@aol.com.

    In other news, I turned twenty a few days ago. I had a great birthday, with some fantastic presents, and a cake you wouldn't believe (chocolate and Dalek-shaped, a winning combination). Now, I'm off to play Picross DS. That game is eating away at my life, I swear. See you next time.


4/6/07

    Slim pickings for this update, I'm afraid. I've been quite busy recently, so I haven't been able to draw or write as much as I would like. There are two new pics in the Art section, one in 'Black and White', and one in 'Paintings'. I've also added a new Art link on the Links page, the awesome webcomic site, Awkward Zombie. Finally, I've moved the previous updates to a new archive page, so if you're really so bored that you want to read past updates, there you are. See you next time.


11/5/07

    Some time ago, I swore off fanfictions, instead choosing to focus on fully original settings. Then I played The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I loved the story and characters so much, that I've decided to write a series of stories based on them. A new section has been added to Misc. Writings, called 'Twilight Princess: The Continuing Legend', along with the first story in the series 'The Return of the King'.


3/5/07

    I've now got the revamped Art section online. The old, computer-coloured images have been removed, and the section itself has now been split into 'Paintings', 'Photos', and 'Black and White'. For those of you who never watched my DeviantART account, a lot of these pictures will be brand new to you. Happy browsing.

    Welcome to the all-new FireHawk's Realm. It's been a while, but here it is. It lives! I apologise for the rather empty-looking design, but I'm still getting to grips with this web designing lark. Don't let that put you off looking around though. For now, the Art section is down, so don't bother reporting that broken link. However, if you experience any errors while browsing the other pages, let me know and I'll try and sort it out. ;)

    The pages that are up are as follows...

  • New and Updates - Where you are now. Any important news will go here. Simple as.

  • Gary the Gryph - A new, slightly extended section for my fantasy series. The old stories from the previous site have returned, and I hope to work more on Gary and his friends in future.

  • Misc. Writings - This has gone through some changes. The Star Fox fics have gone (sorry to those who enjoyed them). However, the NaNoWriMo novels have returned, this time separated into five parts each for easier reading. I have also added my latest NaNo story from 2006, 'Men and Monsters'. There is also a new 'Humour' section, which currently only consists of my article 'Is Link A Timelord'.

  • About/Contact - Again, just like it says on the tin. You can find out a little bit more about me and how to get in touch should you have any questions about the site or its contents.

  • Links - Another section that has gone through some changes. The sites are now divided into 'Art', 'Humour', and 'Misc.' sections.

    I think that's it for now. Before I leave you to click around, I would like to thank Paul Nolan of the North Castle forums for showing me this web host. Hopefully, I'll be spending quite some time here. Hope you enjoy yourself during your stay here at The FireHawk's Realm.
