I have finally joined the long tradition of writing on a laptop in a cafe, well a Costa. Something about sitting here writing just makes it feel good, wish I could get the motivation more often, I might actually have something finished that way.

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…
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…

NaNoWriMo, the principal being, write! Don’t edit, don’t fact check, don’t let that pesky inner editor get a look in. Now depending on the…
I know I am not currently published, but I plan to be. So it’s quite worrying to read all of the news articles talking about how some publishers and magazines are demanding all rights when writers submit work to them. As much as I want to be published if I was to see something like…
You know I miss going to a video shop, looking for something good then coming home to watch it. Just not the same sitting down and looking for ages at what’s on all of the 500 streaming services. Takes me back to when the kids were little and on a Friday night we would pop…
