It’s almost time, close to the end of the month and I am away with the wife. My outline is incomplete and I still need to get the rest of the chapters ready. We get back Tuesday night although I won’t have much time then as we also have the cinema that night. This leaves…
This one always makes me cringe….. I am the first to scoff at the whole idea of New years resolutions because although I make them each year nothing seems to change. I have spent a great deal of time lately looking at my life. Where I wanted to be in the future. I have started…

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…
