I have been thinking for a while as do most writers what constitutes a writer, when would I consider myself to be a writer. When is it a hobby as opposed to a calling etc… Imposter Syndrome is a big thing for writers, how many times have I been asked what I do outside of…
Well…. the last post on this blog was 6 months ago. It was my new year post and I had so many dreams. Admittedly the same dreams I have each year and each year I don’t really get too far into them. So far this year I have done little writing progress, read less than…
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.

I have a problem…. they say the first step to getting help is to admit you have a problem. I do! I have a hoarding mentality and because of this, I have several collections. Dice/Cards/Books/Cups and many other things. So tech is something that didn’t escape. In my office, I have 3 desks now. The…
So I am a biker, something I wished I had done when I was 17, especially given what it cost and the hoops when I finally did do it. But at least I did it in the end. 6 years ago I passed my. test and apart from a small window I have always had…
