1st June 2017 – Binge TV and Book Cataloguing
So this is my first post of June 17, I was going to give myself a word count for each day but instead I think it is best at this point to just give myself a small goal and then build up. I am in the middle of my week off and for most of…
Time to Breathe
It’s Saturday night and for a change I’m not rushed off my feet doing uni work. This is the first weekend in a while where I have nothing planned. I have spent the day sorting pc’s and laptops feels strange to not have looming deadlines. I still have loads to do of course to get…
Favorite quote
Ocassionally I come across a good quote but my memory being what it is I often forgot. .. This one always stuck in my mind and was usually the signature on my tech posts. Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the…
Starting to think of NaNo and writing….
It’s getting close again although it shocking to say that. Can’t believe how fast the year is going, nearly September and I am signing up for some free workshops and taster courses to do in September. One of them is meant to help with preparing for Nano. I always seem to struggle for some reason…

Camp NaNo – Failure to launch
It’s that time of the year again and April’s NaNo is upon us. This is the version of NaNoWriMo where you can set your own goal and then work with fellow wrimos to achieve it. I was wanting to complete the project I started in November in April and was going to try to get…
Death of the physical book…. or not….
The e-reader is a convenient way to read books without having to carry around heavy physical books. The battery life normally lasts a couple of weeks and as it is purely for reading it is not loaded down with rubbish like tablets. The e-reader has been around for a long time, the first commercial one…
Nom de plume
“An assumed name used by a writer instead of their real name; a pen-name:” Oxford Dictionary I will start this by saying I understand why some writers feel the need to use a pen name, maybe they are are writing in a genre they are not usually known for. Or they want to see how well…
