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…
I have tried several times to get myself sorted ready for Camp Nano and not managed to get anything ready. The next is July so I am determined to get something ready, a realistic target for myself to get into gear for November (a long way off I know but it will soon come around)…
The wife is a robot, I have never seen anyone walk so much with no complaint, me and the kids are knackered halfway through the day and she is telling us to stop moaning and keep up. By teatime we are struggling to carry on but she is fine, it’s inhuman 🙂 We were up…

It’s that time of year again and it’s time to start thinking of goals that I want to achieve in 2015. I loath to use the term resolutions but in effect even though I am calling them goals it is the same thing. So here is the basic list (in no particular order) of what…
