Indecision For a long time I have been planning the Sci-fi universe in which I will be writing many stories, I like the idea of building a place where it can all happen. Even if they don’t intersect with each other, at least they are all in the same universe and if needed I can…
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…
It’s getting to that time of the year again, I have started my prep for NaNoWriMo. This is a yearly challenge to write 50,000 word in 30 days, this will be the 5th year I have participated but hopefully the first year I complete it. Previously I have always been at Uni or otherwise too…
