Hello readers! My analysis of the The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is taking longer than expected, so I’m pushing it back to next weekend. In the meantime, I’ll share this micro-scale Lego model I made of Cair Paravel, the castle from the first two Narnia books.

The ever-shifting “cringe window”
Hello readers! Today’s post will be a little more introspective than usual. I’d like to discuss the way that creators perceive their own work (be they writers, artists, musicians, game developers, you name it). Specifically, I was wondering whether anyone else can relate to a concept that I have dubbed the “cringe window” – a … Continue reading The ever-shifting “cringe window”
Another Lego creation: Aberfenntag

The exciting part (hopefully) is a new micro-scale Lego model, which might look familiar to those of you … Continue reading Lego and updates
Another Lego model for the collection
Hello readers! Just a short post from me today. You might remember that back in May I shared a Lego castle from my Highmoor series. Well, today I’m sharing another! A second castle has been added to the collection, and this one is a lot more intricate. Those familiar with the second book might recognise … Continue reading Another Lego model for the collection
I built some Lego.
Hello readers! As anticipated, the frequency of blog posts has been declining as I write up my PhD thesis. All the drafting, re-drafting, writing, editing, re-writing, and re-editing has left my literary batteries running a little low – which is why I have been craving mind-numbing, semi-productive activities to fill the hours when I’m not … Continue reading I built some Lego.
