With thanks once more to Brian, I have now begun a blog on my website. If you want to keep up to date with my trials, tribulations, and outrageous fun as I set off into the unknown with The Dragon Orb series, then you might like to add this to your favourites - Mark Robson’s Blog

:)
 
I've always wanted to try one of those things (we have one here in town, a mile or so from where I work in fact) but as with skydiving, the price has kept me away so far. I'll get there one day though.

Thank you for sharing your research efforts. I know they must take a lot out of you. *snort*
 
I've always wanted to start a blog, but I have no clue where to start....lol....

definetly cool though....how many careers do you actually get to skydive as research for? :D


PS: You realize only crazy people jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
 
Bah, some people have all the fun. And to get to do such things in the name of research is even more sickening!

Heh, only joking, of course. Carry on having lots of fun! I'm sure I'll keep checking the blog and seeing what other crazy antics you get up to! :D
 
What did it feel like to stick your unprotected head in the airstream?

(The contestants on the most recent season of America's Next Top Model had to do a photo shoot inside a land-based freefall chamber. Your photo looks somewhat like theirs, flying head-up through the air! Only you aren't wearing the tons of makeup they were. :) )

It was an amazing experience, Carolyn. The photo is actually of the second time I leaned in - I was slightly more prepared for it second time round, but even then the force of the wind was incredible.

My most vivid and uncomfortable memory will be of the first time, as the wind was so strong, and I was so unprepared for the blast, that it literally lifted my eyelids off the surface of my eyes. The noise of the air rush was also remarkable, but then I suppose that was to be expected. Although I won't deny the trip was a lot of fun, it did prove invaluable in writing the scene I was working on. I think my experience based writing always ends up better than the rest.

I'll write up my trip to the Imperial War Museum last week next. I learned some most useful and fascinating stuff there as well.

This sounds like a very interesting blog, Mark!

I shall pop in and have a look now and again...
 
Great to see the new addition to your website - it should keep people coming back to see what other wacky things you've been doing in the cause of authenticity!!
 
Ive never thought about blogs, though its an interesting way to keep track of authors and what they are doing.

Must feel like your writing a diary, but for all to see :)
 
In my mind, that's exactly what it is, Rune. It does make me think twice about what I post, but I think it should eventually give a good overview of where I'm at with my writing. I shall have to put up something about my latest field of research shortly - the National Phobics Society have just been most helpful!
