I am a subscriber in three writing magazines and when I am reading through I am forever seeing advertisements for writing conferences or retreats. It’s frustrating as I really like the look of these but for someone like me they are out of my reach. Most of them are down south, there don’t appear to…
I often remark to my grown up kids (18,19) at the lack of skills with computers in their generation, when I was their age I was playing around in DOS and writing silly little programs in basic, that is the kind of thing that got me into wanting to work with computers. If the PC…
I didn’t make any resolutions this year, and for good reason…… A couple of weeks in and I haven’t really done anything I wanted to have started this year. I kept my resolutions or “goals” to myself as I new with Uni approaching the end I will need to devote my time to this to…
