This weekend is Tough Guy Nettle Warrior, the twice yearly race that separates the men (Tough Guy) from the boys (Tough Mudder) I look forward to marshalling this race, and spending time with the people down there. Not just because of the chance to play with cameras and get some amazing pictures, but I get to…
It’s that time of the year again and April’s NaNo is upon us. This is the version of NaNoWriMo where you can set your own goal and then work with fellow wrimos to achieve it. I was wanting to complete the project I started in November in April and was going to try to get…
As usual I have fallen behind, don’t seem to get as much time on a night as I would like and when I am writing I cannot seem to quiet my inner voice telling me what I am writing is crap! Not the story, just the writing I am not happy with it. This weekend…
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…
I really would love to know why 11:30 seems to be the sweet spot for me. This is the time when i start looking at what i should be doing with writing…. not the entire night leading up to this point but the point where i should be thinking of going to bed. This is…
I have been regular (until now) with posts on this blog and I have slowly moved forward a bit with writing. I have been watching a motivational video every day and it helps a bit. I do need to start planning my time better so that I am making more time for actual writing. I…
I have finally joined the long tradition of writing on a laptop in a cafe, well a Costa. Something about sitting here writing just makes it feel good, wish I could get the motivation more often, I might actually have something finished that way. Maybe this is what I should be doing instead of trying…
Well for all my planning it’s happening again. A mix of time to get the writing done and lack of planning. The first three chapters went quite well, but then I hit a wall and just didn’t know how to move the story forward. I have been stuck at this for days. As a result…
I’ve been told I have a problem, my family hasn’t gone as far as an intervention but I always feel they are on the verge. I am on course talking about my addiction to buying books. I saw a meme a while ago that said book buying and book reading were two different hobbies and…
I am a jack of all trades and master of none. For a long time now I have started and not finish many things, I have taken many things on as hobbies and done little with all of them, basically a convoluted form of procrastination. Below is what I have been doing with my time…
