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…
2019 Goals
It’s almost time for the obligatory plans/goals etc etc…… But this time it’s different….. he says! On a serious note, I have been very disgusted with the amount of time I have wasted this year on procrastination. Too much TV, films, sitting at my computer doing nothing much.

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…
