Nearly mid year…..
Well…. the last post on this blog was 6 months ago. It was my new year post and I had so many dreams. Admittedly the same dreams I have each year and each year I don’t really get too far into them. So far this year I have done little writing progress, read less than…
Almost a new year
It’s the 30th December 2024 and we have one more day before the dawn of a new year. I haven’t made any concrete plans for 2025 other than some sweeping goals I would like to achieve. The first one is to start regular writing and, in that vein, complete the first draft of Rise of…
Remarkable…
I have spent the last few weeks watching videos on Readers and eInk displays. I have a Kindle Scribe coming and today I have just ordered the Remarkable Paper Pro. A very expensive device and between the two that’s over 1k I have spent in a couple of purchases. I am banking a lot on…
Life is…. annoying!
I was unprepared for NaNo but I was going to do it anyway. Then I was hit with another bout of Cellulitis infection. Not a nice thing to get and this time it was considerably worse than last time. This meant I was quite ill for over a week so got nothing done. Then I…
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…
Fantasycon 2024
All checked in and in my room for the weekend. I am looking forward to the panels and books. I will be doing a proper post with some more info but just thought I would share this one, went to the lift and noticed above the toilet doors, that there were… toilets 🙂 Off to…
Laptops and more Laptops
I have a problem…. they say the first step to getting help is to admit you have a problem. I do! I have a hoarding mentality and because of this, I have several collections. Dice/Cards/Books/Cups and many other things. So tech is something that didn’t escape. In my office, I have 3 desks now. The…
Time Management, or lack of it
I had a plan for this weekend, and although I have done some of what I wanted to achieve I haven’t managed to get the main thing done that I needed to this weekend. This was continuing with the UI Path training, I still have some time to get some done but I am not…
What’s the score…
It’s been months since I have posted on this blog, not that anyone reads it but the act of putting down some words is usually cathartic for me. I plan a lot and normally don’t get far but at least it gets me doing something. Lately, my main focus has been reading, I joined a…
My Writing life…
There is a big thing about imposter syndrome when it comes to writers, it’s not just something that beginners suffer from. I was watching a video from YouTuber Beard of Darkness the other day where he was interviewing Raymond E Feist (the legend) and even he said he still suffers from this when he sits…
