My last post was on Oct 9th and was full of plans and hope. that hasn’t come to pass as I am sure you are shocked to learn. Instead a combination of lack of planning (despite starting at a time that gave me plenty of time) not feeling 100% and other commitments I haven’t managed…
I know I am not currently published, but I plan to be. So it’s quite worrying to read all of the news articles talking about how some publishers and magazines are demanding all rights when writers submit work to them. As much as I want to be published if I was to see something like…
“Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain behaviour” I’m a big guy, I wasn’t always like this it started with getting with my wife and slowly crept up on me. I know the saying goes I woke up one day and I was fat, people say how can that happen. You must have seen…
Cineworld Cinemas have a scheme where you pay £17.40 a month and can go to the cinema as much as you like, this also includes 10% off food & drink and 25% off a few places to eat. I had this card before and really didn’t get the use out of it, Cineworld will have…

I nearly forgot, I need to get these planned and done in time so I am proving some good content. I have the Cineworld card and so I go to the cinema allot, I see most of the films that are released, all of the main ones that come out. I need to get some…
It’s July already and that means it’s time for Camp NaNo. Something I have rarely ever tried which is weird given the self-imposed deadlines. But it is something I would like to get into, so it helps with getting some words down. I have decided to try and get something done this time by pantsing…
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…
The challenge is approaching and I still haven’t had a word with Trace. I need to get a plan in place this weekend on how I am going to do this. Otherwise, I won’t do this. Just like I never got around to starting Camp Nano. So far Procrastination is winning. Onto the next battle.
