Posh cafes
I miss the good old days when there was a local cafe that you could go in and get normal English food, for a reasonable price. Today these cafes like to think they are something they are not. The town I live in isn’t that big and yet it has a rediculus amount of charity…
Mid month and planning, it’s that time of year again….
Internet issue is “fixed” so I can now access the blog from my own network, this means I can post just in time to start talking about NaNo. If you were to look back over my posts at this time there will be a lot of sweeping statements about getting it planned out and ready…
#AStoryAMonth
To assist in my 2015 goals (I nearly called them resolutions there) I decided to try a challenge, a Writer I was looking at a while ago was doing a story a week which I thought was amazing. Unfortunately that is an unrealistic goal for me, but I could do a story a month. So…

Camp Nano planning….. Or lack of it…. This months project is Dragon Lords – Exile. I have a whiteboard next to me with a base outline for a 25k Novella that will cover some backstory for this years NaNo story. This is the plan, but if I don’t put in some time for planning I…
So much to do and so little time…..
I said this in my last post and I have realised that this is part of my problem, I have all of these goals and things I want to do. I think I get caught up on how I am going to get them all done and as a result I don’t get any of…
Starting 2014
I didn’t make any resolutions this year, and for good reason…… A couple of weeks in and I haven’t really done anything I wanted to have started this year. I kept my resolutions or “goals” to myself as I new with Uni approaching the end I will need to devote my time to this to…
