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…
I am a subscriber in three writing magazines and when I am reading through I am forever seeing advertisements for writing conferences or retreats. It’s frustrating as I really like the look of these but for someone like me they are out of my reach. Most of them are down south, there don’t appear to…
It’s getting to that time of the year again, I have started my prep for NaNoWriMo. This is a yearly challenge to write 50,000 word in 30 days, this will be the 5th year I have participated but hopefully the first year I complete it. Previously I have always been at Uni or otherwise too…

Well it’s time, Saturday is Batman day. Off to see it with a friend, cannot wait! Have to say the first batman was fantastic, then the franchise went downhill to that catastrophe Batman & Robin………. The reboot was a master-stroke, absolutely love Nolans version of Batman. It is a pity that this latest one is…
Less than two months, the emails have started from NaNo and the regional group I am in has started trying to get some venues for write ins sorted. I am planning now that I have picked a story idea, although I am constantly itching to go back to a SciFi story. But I really want…
A Bounty Hunter, caught infiltrating Alliance space. This was the test, sitting in the middle of the second fleet with dozens of cannons pointing at you and not shitting your pants and running, Garrix held his finger over the activation for the emergency wormhole generator, not something that you want to use unless absolutely necessary…
Last night was the release of Transformers the Last Knight. Written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway and directed by Michael Bay. This film covers a war between Humans and Transformers, Optimus is gone and the key to saving the future is buried in the past. This outing sees the return of Mark Whalberg as…
