It’s funny that as soon as I started working on the Pearl collection, I started taking notes about where my French pilot from the other WIP would be going…
Dragon Run‘s finally back on track, slowly but surely. Only 200-300 words today, but it’s a good start, and I finally know what to do, with new characters and a new locale to do it.
Good to be back!
Following the closure of freylia studios as a commercial entity, freylia.net is now back online after a slight cleanup.
The homepage remains fairly empty at the moment as I’m not quite decided on what to put on it yet (or even how to call it), but the legacy photo galleries and portfolio have been restored.
There’s been quite a bit of work behind the scenes these past few weeks and the most visible result is a refresh of the site to reflect this evolution.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about refocusing the core offering of the business, and the natural result to that is a return to only localization and LSP-grade services. As a consequence, a few adjustments were needed:
– First, as of July 1st, photography services are no longer offered. The existing portfolio will remain published for reference, and I don’t exclude the possibility of one-off assignments, but it’s off the list;
– Localization management and consulting are now their own suite of services, to separate them from purely linguistic jobs. Coaching and training programmes are now available;
– A new contact form is now online to facilitate requests and queries from visitors and/or potential clients.
That’s all for the main developments, next will probably be a refresh of this very blog’s looks soon for consistency, and I’m working on an ebook about localization-ready design, of which a free sample will be posted here.
Feel free to comment below, and stay tuned!
I just passed the 10,000 word mark on the current WIP. Yay!
For this occasion, I will share a bit more about it.

Synopsis:
In 1938, a French pilot is hired by British MI6 to ferry a scientist from Stockholm to London before his discoveries can be tapped by German intelligence. With hostile forces on their heels and war brewing, will they manage to fly to safety in time?
I plan to hit 60k by the end of November, with a projected final wordcount of maybe 80 to 100… The goal is to finish the first draft by the end of 2015, let it sit for a bit, then start the editing process in February.
After a long hiatus I have restarted work on two long-term writing projects, the first a SF novel set in the universe that contains the spaceship Freylia, this very website’s namesake, and the second a historical spy story set in 1938 that I’ve been planning for a good while.
I don’t know yet if I can work on both concurrently, so I’ll have to commit to one or the other pretty soon I believe. I have a little over 70k words written on the SF side, significantly more than the other, so that’s that…
We’ll see. I think it’s time for this universe to blossom in full and get to publishing stage.
