So, its almost September. Two months until the crazy people start that mad dash to complete 50k words in a month. I have attempted this feat for the last two years and coincidentally both years I have stalled at around 11k words. I am determined that this year I will not fail, so I am…
I watch some you-tubers and I have watched/read interviews with authors on how they are so productive. I have tried at home to be more productive but despite having no young kids anymore I can’t seem to get it to work for me, I can have a solid 4 hours in my office and manage…
A few weeks ago for the first time I attended a midnight launch of a book, although I live in a small town the shop was quite full as it approached midnight, it was strange being in there at that time. The staff were doing their thing to keep people interested and it was quite…
It’s been nearly two months, I thought I was at a place of regular writing but that hasn’t been the case. Camp Nano was a bust, I didn’t do much at all for it. I was chosen to be on a jury for the British Fantasy Society award, Best Anthology. So I have been reading…

First day back at work today, spent most of the day sorting emails and dealing with crap…. Went to work in the car and then when I came home for lunch I went back on the motorbike, then you can guess what happened, yup it pissed down, hate it when that happens when I am…
I started watching Star Trek – Enterprise form the beginning again and although there have been a few episodes where there have been pre-warp civilisations the episode I am watching has Humans that are in a western like time period.
