#100bookschallenge – To Kill a Mockingjay
Just a quick update, I am 50 pages into this book, and although it is of a genre that I don’t read I am finding it easier to get through than I thought I would. It’s quite a small book and so if it was Fantasy or Sci-Fi I would probably have finished it by…
Update and beyond 2020
It’s been a while since I have given an update and a bit has changed. This post is not going to be a new year new me post…. but it will share some similarities. 🙂 So NaNo was a bust for me, I just didn’t plan enough and like I have most years I got…
Baby Names Rant!
I can be quite an opinionated person, for those of you that know me you are probably rolling your eyes now…. I was reading a news item in the November copy of Writing Magazine called Name Dropping. It was talking about Charles Dickens giving his characters strange last names and then talking about celebs calling…
NaNo and writing
After reading a post on a fellow writers Blog it has spurred me on to actually post something in here. My NaNo journey is plodding along, I have managed to stay on target and I need to have a blast this weekend to get out ahead as I always end up where I have days…
Writing group and accountability update

I never seem to remember when these start even though it would be good to participate as you can set your own goals so it wouldn’t have to be a mad dash to get 50k down in a month. But again I didn’t realise until a friend posted in a writers Facebook group. So now…
It’s in the name
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…
24th June 2017 – Day off with the wife
Well, today we were going to go to York as we won a day pass to ??? garden. But when we got up the weather was not supposed to be good. We decide to save the day pass for a better day. It took us a while to decide on what we were going to…
Norwich 2025
Yearly we go down to Norwich to visit our friend who lives there. It’s a nice weekend of chilling with mates and having a few drinks. It was just me and Pauyl travelling down this time, has been for the last few years. Our friends can be flakey. This year we went to the buffet…
