It’s getting to that time of the year again, I have started my prep for NaNoWriMo. This is a yearly challenge to write 50,000 word in 30 days, this will be the 5th year I have participated but hopefully the first year I complete it. Previously I have always been at Uni or otherwise too…
I used to like watching the odd post apocalyptic series or movie, but now it seems they are everywhere. The walking dead the most visible i assume but others are all over. Last night I heard of a series called the last ship that follows survivors of the end of the human race that are…
Can’t quite believe it, but December is almost over. Seems like this year has flown by so fast. I haven’t got much done with my writing this year, which is disappointing. Fitness has improved, and I can walk further now without struggling. Lost some weight, so that is going in the right direction. Getting the…
As long as I can remember I have written, although like all things I do it has been on and off and never with conviction. This was until a few years ago when I started to do so more and more. I spend more time planning and making notes than actual writing but still I…
The wife is a robot, I have never seen anyone walk so much with no complaint, me and the kids are knackered halfway through the day and she is telling us to stop moaning and keep up. By teatime we are struggling to carry on but she is fine, it’s inhuman 🙂 We were up…

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…
I have joined a few writing groups over the years and they all end up where no one talks for weeks on end and nothing seems to happen. So, this year I started a writing group with a fellow writer from one of the other groups. Called Northern Writers, I didn’t want to have something…
Got rid of my baby a few months ago because of financial reasons, and as the weather starts to turn I began to get depressed…… I have scraped the barrel to get something to get me on the road again, tomorrow I go to pick up my new baby, not quite as pretty but a…
