The last post I did was around a month ago and was around NaNoWriMo prep. You will probably not be surprised to hear that one month on I have done…….. almost no prep. I am my own worst enemy. I even stopped checking Facebook on my main account and this was successful, but that extra…
When I was writing everyday there was no literary gems as such but it was a way of getting me writing everyday, since I stopped doing that I have stopped doing everything. That isn’t what I was hoping to get from that exercise. I was hoping that would get me into a routine, suffice to…
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…
This is advising about getting motivated to sell your writing, no one is going to come to you to ask for it so as a writer you need to be proactive. I don’t have a store of writing to pull on to start doing this, but I am starting the #AStoryAMonth challenge this month so…

I have tried several times to get myself sorted ready for Camp Nano and not managed to get anything ready. The next is July so I am determined to get something ready, a realistic target for myself to get into gear for November (a long way off I know but it will soon come around)…
So it’s nearly 1 in the morning and I have a busy day ahead, I had planed an early night because of this but instead I got drew into reading Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind. I have read the book several times and it is by far one of my favourite series (Sword of…
