Summer has gone & darkness arrives earlier each evening, the perfect time for ghost stories. Tomorrow at 10pm BBC4 is showing the 1970’s adaptation of The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Here’s an unpublished illustration I made a couple of years back. I love this story, I’d love to illustrate it.

A black fine line pen in a crosshatch technique and rolled printing ink on white paper illustration of a signalman standing at the foot of the steps up to his lonely signalbox. The little house shaped box is situated at the bottom of a steep and dank ravine, big slabs of blasted rock rise up to a wooded area, trees trunks, roots and branches twist up into the darkness. The Signalman stares into the mouth of a dark tunnel, rail tracks run parallel to the signalbox into the tunnel. Another figure stands at the mouth of the tunnel, it is shrouded in low lying mist. The only source of illumination is from the light inside the signalbox and a small glowing lamp above the ghostly figure at the tunnel mouth. Dark, damp, dripping, you can imagine the sound of wind blowing through the tunnel and the isolated ravine, not a place for a party but I’d be happy enough there (I’m odd).

Dear writers, Raymond Chandler was 51 when he published his first novel. 9 years later he’d completed 7 novels which would change their genre and contribute boldly to international literature and culture. He died when he was on his 8th book. You’ve got time. Except me. I’m 52.

Every sentence forward is a sentence closer to done. No one cares how long a thing takes to write. No one ever asks. What matters is whether or not it is finished. Celebrate every word you got on the page and don't worry about how your speed compares to others. Just. Keep. Writing.
