When the Kindle was released it was to spell the end of the book. I joined the revolution and got one, although I never intended to get rid of my books. I loved the fact that I could have dozens of books on the one small device, it’s easy to take places. The first one…
I have been thinking for a while as do most writers what constitutes a writer, when would I consider myself to be a writer. When is it a hobby as opposed to a calling etc… Imposter Syndrome is a big thing for writers, how many times have I been asked what I do outside of…
Me and the wife like to go to the beach. Each time I go I signs like the one below, and each time there are people walking their dogs on the beach! Now we are dog people but it annoys the hell out of me when I see this. The beaches are closed to dogs…

I keep reading in my writing books and magazines that I shout make an effort to write everyday. I have setup a desk downstairs so that i can write without bothering the wife when she wants to sleep. I still have not done any there yet. I really need to get my ass in gear…
This is my first post in 2019 and I will have to start on a slight negative. I am 12 days into the month and I have been watching tv in the office and haven’t managed to get much writing done. Although I have been doing some of my favourite procrastination, world building. Tomorrow is…
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…
