Friends is one of my favourite shows of all time, when it was first out in the UK I accidentally flicked to the channel it was on about 30 seconds into the show. I was hooked from there. Occasionally I will have friend that will say its only ok… deluded people, the fact that it…
I went to Costa a few days ago and took my notepad, I wasn’t planning on doing anything much but ended up hand writing a flash fiction story while there, the most I have done in a cafe before now was notes. I was quite happy with the result. Once home I typed it up…
For a long time I have tried joining writers groups on FB and looked for years for something local to me. I have tried a couple and either not felt comfortable or the more common theme is groups that start then peter out very quickly. Joining a group for NaNo years ago has netted a…
It’s the 30th December 2024 and we have one more day before the dawn of a new year. I haven’t made any concrete plans for 2025 other than some sweeping goals I would like to achieve. The first one is to start regular writing and, in that vein, complete the first draft of Rise of…
It’s that time again and although I had said I was going to plan for this I did my usual and didn’t plan the time to plan (see what I did there) and so when the 1st came around I was already deciding not to do it. I made up excuses to myself about looking…

I had to collect eh wife from town and sort a couple of things but I am ready. Classical music is on and the document is open, let the month of madness start here 🙂 wish me luck.
It’s that time of year again and it’s time to start thinking of goals that I want to achieve in 2015. I loath to use the term resolutions but in effect even though I am calling them goals it is the same thing. So here is the basic list (in no particular order) of what…
It has been a long while coming but me and the wife are away in Blackpool for three days. We have been looking forward to this for a while. It’s getting colder but as long as it isn’t raining we should have a good time. It’s just nice to be away from the office (work…
