To assist in my 2015 goals (I nearly called them resolutions there) I decided to try a challenge, a Writer I was looking at a while ago was doing a story a week which I thought was amazing. Unfortunately that is an unrealistic goal for me, but I could do a story a month. So…
I have started to prioritise reading again in a bid to actually try and get through the massive amount of books I have. Each year I seem to buy significantly more than I read. I need to do something about that, so I have started reading a lot more. I was trying to finish what…
As usual I have fallen behind, don’t seem to get as much time on a night as I would like and when I am writing I cannot seem to quiet my inner voice telling me what I am writing is crap! Not the story, just the writing I am not happy with it. This weekend…
I know what I have to do….. I know when I need to do it by….. and yet it is a day until the start of NaNo and although I have done significantly more planning than other years I still don’t think I have done enough, I wanted a fully planned out novel this time…

Book 5, Victory Conditions, Elizabeth Moon Warning Spoilers ahead… you have been warned! Vatta’s War is a military SF series that is comprised of 5 books. This one being the last. I will be the first to admit that I am easy to please when it comes to films or books. Its not often I…
Can’t quite believe it, but December is almost over. Seems like this year has flown by so fast. I haven’t got much done with my writing this year, which is disappointing. Fitness has improved, and I can walk further now without struggling. Lost some weight, so that is going in the right direction. Getting the…
This is it, tomorrow night I am off to see Star Trek – Into Darkness, from the trailers it looks amazing, but then I am biased as I love Star TRek. Going to see it with my best friend, who also likes Star Trek but doesn’t really like the direction the last film took, his…
