Day off and NaNo 2024 start
Well, it is almost midnight on the 31st of October, and although I would normally have a good plan in place for NaNo by now, this year I don’t really have anything prepped. I had planned to pick up my Fantasy novel Rise of the Fallen and see if I could finish it, but given…

You know I miss going to a video shop, looking for something good then coming home to watch it. Just not the same sitting down and looking for ages at what’s on all of the 500 streaming services. Takes me back to when the kids were little and on a Friday night we would pop…
British Fantasy Society – Writing Retreat
Each year the BFS holds a writing retreat at Gladstones Library and as it’s for a limited number you have to apply and then names are drawn out of a hat. I applied for last year’s retreat but did not manage to get a place. When I applied for this year I was so glad…
