Its so hard to get kids to watch anything with you these days. War of the Planet of the Apes is due out in a week or so, to get ready me and the wife sat down to watch number 1 (Rise) and then as we were in the mood number 2 (Dawn) The 13…
Well…. the last post on this blog was 6 months ago. It was my new year post and I had so many dreams. Admittedly the same dreams I have each year and each year I don’t really get too far into them. So far this year I have done little writing progress, read less than…
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…
After the last couple of posts I have been trying to think on why I Procrastinate so much and it’s not because I don’t want to write, I want more than anything to see my books in the local Waterstones next to my favourite authors. To be able to leave work and write full time…
It’s getting close again although it shocking to say that. Can’t believe how fast the year is going, nearly September and I am signing up for some free workshops and taster courses to do in September. One of them is meant to help with preparing for Nano. I always seem to struggle for some reason…

Well obviously the “August” challenge is out of the window, from the beginning I didn’t stick to it like the last time. I may have to try again another month? Problem is I am getting ever closer to the day I start back at Uni for my final year, which is going to be really…
As part of my writing journey I have finally started to work through one of the “how to” books I have owned for a long time. One of the things the author says is a good thing to do is to come up with a statement of purpose, something to inspire me to carry on,…
Despite all of my future planning and declarations I haven’t managed to do any writing as such this year so far, just some more world building. I think again I am stuck with too many on going projects and how-to books on the go at once, so instead of concentrating on one thing I end…
