This one always makes me cringe….. I am the first to scoff at the whole idea of New years resolutions because although I make them each year nothing seems to change. I have spent a great deal of time lately looking at my life. Where I wanted to be in the future. I have started…
Just a quick update, I am 50 pages into this book, and although it is of a genre that I don’t read I am finding it easier to get through than I thought I would. It’s quite a small book and so if it was Fantasy or Sci-Fi I would probably have finished it by…
The e-reader is a convenient way to read books without having to carry around heavy physical books. The battery life normally lasts a couple of weeks and as it is purely for reading it is not loaded down with rubbish like tablets. The e-reader has been around for a long time, the first commercial one…
I have spent the last few weeks watching videos on Readers and eInk displays. I have a Kindle Scribe coming and today I have just ordered the Remarkable Paper Pro. A very expensive device and between the two that’s over 1k I have spent in a couple of purchases. I am banking a lot on…

To get the creative juices flowing again I am going to do another Blogging challenge. It is daft to have to do something like this just to get me Blogging every day, but I seem to keep to it when I am on a “challenge” I will try and make some of the subjects more…
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…
