Writing in the dark
I was in a routine with posting but then I stopped putting the reminder on my Kanban board and so no posts were made…. interesting! I have been reading a book lately which is in favor of pantsing, it is called writing in the dark and it is around that theme. What the book is…
Tough Guy 2016
It’s that time of year again, time to Marshall/ film at Tough Guy. Me and Tracy and Hannah are here now milling around getting sorted. Busy weekend ahead, but always have a good time while working hard on the farm. Amazing people ?
Indecision….
I’m doing it again, I had a conversation with a friend today about magic systems and had just about decided to restart my NaNo project Dragon Lords. Then I read an excerpt from an upcoming book from a favourite author, this made me pick up my NaNo book 13th Earth – Before the Dawn, reading…

Writing Conferences
