Fear the walking dead
I have just finished watching the first two episodes of the spinoff from the Walking Dead. the original series although by no means the first post apocalyptic series to air, it seems to have taken off in a big way, hugely popular and one of the best series I have watched for a while. I…
Laptops and more Laptops
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…
Writer’s meetup and Camp NaNo
It’s that time again and although I had said I was going to plan for this I did my usual and didn’t plan the time to plan (see what I did there) and so when the 1st came around I was already deciding not to do it. I made up excuses to myself about looking…
12th June 2017 – A Facebook rant!

NaNoWriMo 2014
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…
11th June 2017 – The Writers Workout
I started this a while ago and didn’t go anywhere with it, this will help with subjects for this challenge. I could cover allot of current events but I find that too depressing, I think I may have to find something good in the news to report on but for now I will continue with…
