The top hat is an item of clothing that had never been precedented or in recent times matched. It exudes both dignity and sobriety, as well as eccentricity and fun. It can be both menacing and inspiring; archaic and contemporary. Why then h…
Now, bare with me. This isn't my take on Fifty Shades of Grey. It's supposed to be a technical analysis of present day life, not literary porn. Disappointed? You disgust me. Now, for those who are still here, let us proceed into the seedy…
It is currently that time of the morning (7:15) that you're too excited to get back to sleep, but it's too early to wake your parents, so I'm filling time really, but nevertheless this will hopefully still be a reasonable bit of writing. I…

It has been a very long time since I have written anything on Opuss. Too long, perhaps. Anyway, I'm back now. Or I am for this piece, at least. Now, I think I have made it clear before in previous Opusses that I am rather excited about the…
I said a very long time ago that I was writing a fantasy novel. I haven't stopped writing that fantasy novel, just things keep getting in the way. Most predominately, school. :( But the wheels are back in motion, the creative juices are flo…
The countdown has begun! This is only a short Opost, not to prove my artistic integrity, but more to serve as a survey. I would like to see if you're for or against independence for Scotland. Comment please. In case you wanted to know, I'm …
This Midwinter's eve, I shall be making mead, playing a medieval (ish) musical arrangement on my cello, and eating various appropriate foods. My mum has called it my Meadieval Party. I was not amused... Anyway, care to join me? *Oh, and I…

I like to complain about quiet days on Opuss, because it reduces my chances of climbing the rankings! But today, quite literally, was silent at my end. No likes, no comments, no reposts. Not even anything in my feed from anyone I follow. No…
Last year the Internet crashed. It is the 7th December 2015, about ten o'clock at night. I walk through the highstreet of my little town. There is the old bookies, window smashed in. There are a few men in sleeping bangs inside. A group of…
Christmas is looming, folks. "But it's only September!" I hear you cry. But not too long ago you said "but it's only April!" and look what happened to that! Yes, Christmas will come far too quickly for everyone's liking. It's like a horribl…
I suppose it's time I told you all about the things that are getting me excited at the moment, and why they should be getting you excited as well. Firstly, The Hobbit-An Unexpected Journey, which comes out on 14th December this year. I've …
Well, I don't think Im alone in saying I'm extremely excited about the new Hobbit Movie coming out on the 14th December this year. I also doubt I'm alone in saying I have a few concerns about it. Firstly, and this is the most obvious one,…
It's been a while since I've Oposted, I know, but I needed to point this out. Facebook conversations always start in the same mundane, predictable way. Let us call one person A and the other B. A- Hi B-Hi A-How are you? B-I'm not bad. W…
Yes, along with @alexmurray I am leaving too. Although maybe for not as long as he is. He may or may not respond. I don't know, because he doesn't know. But I will say I won't be back for a while. School is busy and I've started reading the…
I have just been on YouTube looking at the comments to a video (the Study of Stealth from the Dishonoured game, by the way). It has posed a question I have often thought of. Why are YouTube users so rude? Every other comment is some swear-…
On my trip across the UK, which you cane read about the start of in my previous Opost, I received some really good feedback on my current novel. This is the sort of medieval style one. I'm not sure if I've mentioned that before, but it is. …
Hello, my dear followers! Much to my surprise I have been able to write Opusses while I am away. This is due to a few unexpected events. Firstly, the places I am staying in have free wi-fi, which isn't really that unexpected, but I didn't t…
Well, that's it! I'm off. Forever. I'm never coming back. This is my last Opuss. Ever... Joking! :D I will be back, but not for about ten or eleven days. I will probably fall down the ranks and make my dream of being in the top 100 a dista…
A truly spectacular performance from Andy Murray there for the gold medal in the Tennis of the London Olympics, which are going very well for Great Britain. Let's hope he does as well in the mixed-doubles with Laura Robson (who has done spe…
A couple of months back, I made a list of things I wanted to buy. Most of which I didn't. I've made a new list of things I really want to buy, most of which I won't. -Fantasy Drawing Workshop by John Howe [Because I really like John Howe] …
I would like to make a little note of appreciation for the work of Alan Lee and John Howe, two of the most famous Tolkien illustrators and the lead designers on the Lord of the Rings films. I recently bought the book The Lord of the Rings …
I'm so glad that Opuss doesn't criticise grammar! Microsoft Word is a nightmare. I know you can switch it off, but I need it for actual mistakes, but it doesn't allow for any intentional creative freedom. That green line gives my nightmares…
In my last Opost of this series, I said I had finished chapter 3. Well, I have, and I've decided to take a break until I come back from my holiday (yes, I'm away again!) So that's a fortnight without writing. But all is not lost. I haven't …
There should be a blog label: bitch. As in bitching, meaning moaning about something. It should be situated in the same section as Rant.
I was quite staggered this morning when I found I had gone DOWN in the ranking charts. It's supposed to go the other way! I suppose my fantasy novel has taken a bit of a priority over my Opuss writings, but if you ever want to hear more abo…
I'll keep this brief because there's not much to tell. Chapter 3 has been finished today. I'm a little uncertain about the last few lines. Might be a bit rushed. But, unless I get a real nag when I read it over tomorrow (and I will probably…
Finished.
In my last Opost of this series, I told you I was writing two novels in parallel. Well, contrary to my aims, one novel has indeed fallen by the wayside. It was the second one I'd started, so the one I began this series with is still going, …
Today has been a quiet day by all accounts for me on Opuss. I have written nothing, and had received no notices of likes or comments. One thing that has happened is I went down by 4 places in the ranking charts. That made me sad. It's a pai…
I did say a while ago that I would tell you all about my time in Iceland. Well, I also said that when I reach 100 in the ranks I would start a new series. I could kill two birds with one stone an make my new series about my Icelandic advent…
I have just seen the trailer for the LEGO Lord of the Rings game on it's official website. I'm not sure when it's coming out, so don't ask me, but I am hoping it's not too far away. I'm guessing it'll be around the same time as the Hobbit i…
Just been to see Joules Holland's band in Carlisle. They were fantastic! Gilson Lavis, their drummer, did the most entertaining drum solo I have ever seen (and I usually hate drum solos!) Unfortunately, it was in the most soulless venue in …
In half an hour, the opening ceremony of the London Olympics 2012 begins! I must admit I am rather excited. For seven years, British people have endured the anguish and farce that is the Olympic Games, but at last it's come to it's mighty c…

I have spent the last few days powering through it, and I am happy to say I am near the end. I have just finished the chapter when Jon climbs the mountain and finds the three wildlings. I will let you know when all is done. In the meantime,…

Last night I went to see the latest of the Dark Night [Batman] films at the cinema. It was its first day out, and I was very eager to see it. It is to be the last of the Christian Bale (Christopher Nolan directing) Batman films, which is a …
I have just finished a Catelyn Stark chapter proceeding a Jon chapter. I'm on Page 321. I do read quite slowly, so it is taking me a while, but I am determined to finish it! I can't wait to see what the Greyjoys do next. I think I know, but…
Ok, I lied when I said I wasn't writing anything today! Perhaps writing is so core to my being that I cannot escape it's urges. But to my question now. It has struck me as rather peculiar that so many users of this Holy Grail for the writi…
This series of Opusses (which I have decided to rename Oposts, to suggest brevity and fact, rather than fiction or poems) will now chart the development of two fantasy novels. Yes, you did hear me correctly. Two! Now, you may be thinking th…

Right! My Iceland feedback report is FINISHED! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Actually, I quite enjoyed it. I will try to adapt it for Opuss. I'll need to take little bits out that only make sense to people who were there, and …
I didn't tumble nearly as far down the ranks as I though I would. I only descended three places, so I am happy. I suppose I am partly to blake for this as maybe my writing hasn't been to it's usual standard, but hardly anyone has read any o…
I told you all that I would give you a report of my trip to Iceland, and as usual I failed to deliver. But panic not! I will have to do one for my school, so that will take up some time. It will be dry and analytical and feedback sort of st…
Yesterday, so much happened on my Opuss. Scarcely a minute went by when there wasn't a new message on my home screen. But today, barely anything has happened! Scarcely a comment on any of my Opusses, only a couple of new followers (and I we…
So far I am halfway through Theon Greyjoy's first chapter, being 162 pages in. My new favourite character who isn't a PoV character is Salladhor Saan, the Lyseni pirate and friend to Davos Seaworthy. Some news for A Song of Ice and Fire f…
In recent months, the Twilight phase seems, to me at least, to have begun to diminish. I knew it would, but I thought it would linger a little longer, like the noisy fart that never seems to go. However, it is not over until the fat lady s…
A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin (sometimes unfortunately referred to as CoK) is, as I said in a previous Opuss, the book I'm currently reading. I'm snailing through it at a pace of about 30-40 pages a day (and that's quite fast for me!…
I have, in my Opuss 'Continuation of 100th Opuss Idea" (which disappointingly nobody has read yet, despite the immense popularity of it's prequel!) suggested that Adam Neilson (the gentleman that runs Opuss) will at some poor write an autob…
I would like to celebrate the fact that I have, for the first time, written an Opuss that received ten or more likes! I am very pleased. Thank you followers and others that liked it! :)
Following the popularity of my second from previous Opuss, I thought I'd milk the idea Jurassic Park Stylie (you know what I mean) and go on a bit further. Adam Neilson, if you are reading this, please take note! Every time you get to ano…
I realised that hardly anyone was reading my updates when I was doing them on the same Opuss as they weren't notified when I had done so. Therefore, I thought I'd allow more people to find out what was going on if I did them as separate Opu…
Like someone gets a card from the queen when they reach 100 years of age, does an Opuss member get an email from Adam Neilson when they've written their 100th Opuss?
I have just begun A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin. I'm about 50 pages in, and it looks to be a great read! I've heard A Feast For Crows is a poor book. Is it? Let me know. Thanks. :)
I would like to add to my previous Opuss "UTTER OUTRAGE!!!" which said about my anger at the Hollow Crown supposedly being cancelled last Saturday, only to be shown an hour later so I missed the start. The BBC apparently received many compl…
We really should be allowed to change our own comments. For example, if we press SEND before we've finished (grr!!!) or have an obvious spelling mistake and have a desperate need to fix it. Also, if you write something a bit harsh you later…
I think we should have the ability to un-like something on Opuss. I don't mean like a down thumb on YouTube when you say it's bad. All I mean is when you touch a like button by mistake, be able to undo it. What do you think?
My favourite colour's purple. What's yours?
I have returned!!! My trip to Iceland was a great success, thank you for asking. I'll give you a full report tomorrow, once I've had a chance to sleep (I was up at 2:30 this morning for the plane!). What I would like to say is thank you ver…
Well, off I am to Iceland. I hope you miss me! ;)
There should be a 'Blog' category 'Rant'. That would cover so many bases!
Tonight on BBC 2 the powers that be decided to keep on the tennis for a bit longer and postpone The Hollow Crown (Shakespeare's Henry IV-Part 1). Now those of you who read my Opusses religiously (I know you're out there...somewhere.) will k…

I thought I'd pay homage to Skyrim, as it is by far my favourite video game and I hoped others would love it too. Firstly, I'd like to say I'm really excited about Dawnguard. I don't have it yet, even though Im on Xbox but I will be getting…
I once typed this into google (or roughly this, anyway) and a huge list of articles came up. I quoted from one of them a while back on Opuss. However, I thought I'd come up with my own debate. Feel free to join in on the comments page if yo…
I am currently putting all my writing focus into my fantasy novel, so I'll have less time for Opuss things, so sorry about that. I will still be on here once in a while, maybe putting one or two things a day, but certainly not the same amou…
This is my attempt at a blog for my novel writing. I will continue to update the same Opuss, so hopefully it will reappear at the top of your reading pile. If it doesn't, you might have to seek it out to find out what I'm getting up to! Sor…
I never thought I'd get writer's block on Opuss. I'm a bit frightened I'll drop in the rankings after having got so high, and I'm desperately trying to think of something good to write, because my more recent stuff didn't get the recognitio…
Here is my list of Summer reading for my holidays after I come back from Iceland, before which I will be reading the trip booklet and various books on norse mythology and icelandic sagas. -Foundation by Peter Ackroyd -The Great Gatsby by F…

I'm now higher in the ranks than I've ever been. Thanks to all my followers and those who liked my Opusses. :) That has made my day!
