As you will have seen from previous post I have taken part in NaNoWriMo in November for the past 6 years, I have never took part in the April Camp NaNo event. This year I am going to, it is similar to November only, you set your own goals and depending on the genre you…
Indecision For a long time I have been planning the Sci-fi universe in which I will be writing many stories, I like the idea of building a place where it can all happen. Even if they don’t intersect with each other, at least they are all in the same universe and if needed I can…
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…

To assist in my 2015 goals (I nearly called them resolutions there) I decided to try a challenge, a Writer I was looking at a while ago was doing a story a week which I thought was amazing. Unfortunately that is an unrealistic goal for me, but I could do a story a month. So…
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…
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…
