Geek
Today I let the inner Geek out… I attended my first convention, it’s not that I didn’t want to go before now. It’s just that they are all too far away or too expensive. I got a ticket for Newcastle Film & Comic-con went with a friend yesterday and had a brilliant time. The venue wasn’t very…
Indecision….
I’m doing it again, I had a conversation with a friend today about magic systems and had just about decided to restart my NaNo project Dragon Lords. Then I read an excerpt from an upcoming book from a favourite author, this made me pick up my NaNo book 13th Earth – Before the Dawn, reading…
Student lecturing the teacher :)
This story seems to be making the rounds at the moment, a student in the US is raging at his teacher. Not sure what happened before one of the students turned on the camera but he seems to be taking offence at the way the teach is delivering the learning. Giving out packets of information…

“Whatever you say, say it with conviction” -Mark Twain It’s ok for your first draft to be crappy, I think I have taken this particular advice to heart… allot of my first drafts are terrible. But using the ethos of NaNoWriMo I use the first draft as just a way to get the story on…
It’s the end….. of 2022
I am an easily led person when it comes to writing. If I am watching/reading fantasy I really want to write fantasy. If I am watching/reading science fiction then I want to write that too. I always think it is a good idea to have a project of each on the go for this reason,…
