Nanowrimo season rapidly approaches, as well as planning for this to ensure I have a good outline to complete a novel this year I am working on a small short story project for Christmas. Something I have also been meaning to get done for many years. To try and help with the planning phases for…
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…
Sometimes I read articles that just make my head spin…… I have a 18 and 19 year old in the house and to be honest its an achievement if they can get out of bed (i’m exaggerating of course) but seriously they are normal teenagers. Justin Beckerman is 18 and yet has build several fully…
While looking for something to write for the blog tonight I found a news article on the Register site, I was very happy 🙂 It seems they are bringing back the IT crowd back for one last episode, the show ran for 4 seasons from 06-10 and focused on the IT dept of a large…

So, its almost September. Two months until the crazy people start that mad dash to complete 50k words in a month. I have attempted this feat for the last two years and coincidentally both years I have stalled at around 11k words. I am determined that this year I will not fail, so I am…
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…
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…
