I have an impressive collection of “how to” books and every time I am out and I see a new one I will invariably buy it. I flick through them and add it tot he shelf. As part of the drive to actually do something now I am going to work through them. Maybe this…
I’m sat at my desk looking out my front room window at the green, I have the Social Network playing on the tv. The family are all out apart form my son and his girlfriend in his room. My life is so exciting, I might have to get back to the short story I have…
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…
