This is me…. I have a dream of being a well known published writer, of writing something and then earning enough that I can clear my debts and then finally write full time. I would love this, but to get to this point I would have to actually get off my ass and do some…
I have been hearing since this film came out that it is terrible, one of the biggest flops of the year, this has made me lethargic about seeing it. But it was never going to stop me as I am fond of saying and as some friends point out I am easily pleased. Unfortunately, this…
I would love to use a tool to monitor the time I waste looking through social networking websites, Facebook or twitter. I can sit at my machine and seem to do nothing but refresh the page and look at crap….. then I wonder why I get nothing done. I have tried quitting several times but…
Just a quick update, I am 50 pages into this book, and although it is of a genre that I don’t read I am finding it easier to get through than I thought I would. It’s quite a small book and so if it was Fantasy or Sci-Fi I would probably have finished it by…

Well this Camp Nano started the same as the other time I tried it, in that I didn’t do anything and although I knew I had to plan for it I haven’t done enough and now its upon me I am not ready and I don’t want to rush it. I’m also trying to get…
To get the creative juices flowing again I am going to do another Blogging challenge. It is daft to have to do something like this just to get me Blogging every day, but I seem to keep to it when I am on a “challenge” I will try and make some of the subjects more…
