Today I want to talk about setting the right state of mind at the start of the day. It is really easy to get into a situation where something bad happens early on in the day and the day quickly starts to spiral downward. Before you know it you are feeling miserable and having the … Continue reading Wednesday 5th May 2021

I think I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with editing. I love to remake my story into something better but I hate spending hours staring at the same sentence wondering if this really is the best way of getting my point across. I also have to solve all the problem parts that I … Continue reading Monday 3rd May 2021
Finding New Eden
Now that CampNaNoWriMo is out of the way things will be going back to a more normal state. I will be doing editing on the weekdays and on a weekend I will be writing a new sci-fi story where people on twitch can vote on direction of the story. I anticipate that this story will … Continue reading Finding New Eden

I can't help but wonder why it always seems to be the case that when you take time off your day job to focus on writing things happen to prevent this. Yesterday we had to take the dog to the vets, he is fine but he has been getting some gunk in his eyes which … Continue reading Thursday 29th April 2021
Monday 26th April 2021 – Publishing Routes?
I have started streaming on twitch again but I have stayed away from the standard game streaming. I worked out that although I enjoy streaming and gaming I don't like mixing the two. I have decided to try something a bit different, I am streaming my novel writing and planning. I have started out quite … Continue reading Monday 26th April 2021 – Publishing Routes?

It was a study week for me this last week and I always under estimate how much these weeks take out of me. On paper it doesn't look too bad, it is only six hours of studying after all. However, I still feel the need to keep any eye on work so that I don't … Continue reading Saturday 24th April 2021

It is halfway though the month so I am halfway through my writing challenge. I am only a couple of thousand words behind where I should be to be on track but that is to be expected at this point in the week. I always write more on the weekend anyway so I should easily … Continue reading Thursday 15th April 2021

Tomorrow is the start of Camp NaNoWriMo. For those of you that don't know what this is, NaNoWriMo stands for national novel writing month (which is in November but Camp NaNoWriMo is the version on this in April). The November version of the challenge is always to write 50k words but the April version is … Continue reading Wednesday 31st March 2021

Today was perhaps the best day I had in quite a while (in terms of work anyway). It is interesting that the day I have found to be my best is the day that everything seemed to go wrong. I have known for a long time that I work better when I have a looming … Continue reading Monday 29th March 2021
Lets Try Again – A Short Story
Based on the following prompt from Reedsy: Write about two people reconnecting after a rough patch in their relationship. "I think we should try again." Martin said smiling. We wouldn't need to try again if you hadn't cheated on me Emily thought cynically. She wanted to take him back and try again but she wasn't … Continue reading Lets Try Again – A Short Story
