progress… or not….
This is my first post in 2019 and I will have to start on a slight negative. I am 12 days into the month and I have been watching tv in the office and haven’t managed to get much writing done. Although I have been doing some of my favourite procrastination, world building. Tomorrow is…
Over a month…
I can’t sleep, been to bed for a while and couldn’t drift off so I opened the iPad. I have done it again, over a month between posts. I read somewhere that keeping a blog can be harmful to your writing career as instead of writing you are spending valuable creative time writing on a…
Movement finally
I went to Costa a few days ago and took my notepad, I wasn’t planning on doing anything much but ended up hand writing a flash fiction story while there, the most I have done in a cafe before now was notes. I was quite happy with the result. Once home I typed it up…

Cafe Writer
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. Maybe this is what I should be doing instead of trying…

NaNo failing
Well for all my planning it’s happening again. A mix of time to get the writing done and lack of planning. The first three chapters went quite well, but then I hit a wall and just didn’t know how to move the story forward. I have been stuck at this for days. As a result…
A time to change…..
I like my life, I will just say that first, I have an awesome family and I have many different groups of friends, from those I grew up with to those I have met from work. But I suffer from a severe lack of motivation to do what I want or what I need. I…
