I don’t watch much television, maybe an hour a day, late at night when I finally finish at my desk and want to wind down before bed. I also try to watch a film at a weekend. Not always successfully. Generally, we record many different series and end up watching them months and months, […]
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it here before but I’m a big listener of podcasts. Although I only do this at my desk. I don’t have a commute so I don’t have that time in which to listen and I did download an app on my phone with the intention of listening when walking the dog […]
I’ve already put off the whole starting the New Year stuff until the 4th. That’s what happens when the 1st lands on a Friday. It felt better to get going once everyone was fully back to work. So here we are, on the 4th, and I’m already behind. There’s not much to say on several […]
I don’t actually make resolutions as such, they’re more aims, I suppose, or goals. And they are remarkable similar to the ones made in previous years. Let’s see how I got on. My list of aims for the year were as follows: Reach and maintain target weight Exercise twice a week Write a book Write […]
When I committed to writing my Monday post (being a minimum of 500 words) some time back in June I made it a ‘no matter what’ piece of work. Up to this week I have managed to put something up but I have to say some truly terrible news in my friends group a couple […]
I have something a little different for you this week… a competition. The Roses Mini Saga Competition is a venture I’ve embarked on with a friend of mine, Sally-Rose Runham. In its inaugural year we limited entries to three local writing groups to check our processes but in this, its second year, we have […]
I guess I’m going to have to do a bit of a NaNo wrap-up, however reluctantly. I think we can safely say, even though I have tackled it for the last few years, that the actual concept of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, which is November) is not for me. Not that it’s actually been […]
There has been big news in the audio book world last week, and in a somewhat surprising move I have leapt on board the opportunity and after a few hours (during which there may have been some swearing!) setting this thing up I’m now ready to share. As you may remember I recently published the […]
Whenever I am writing I always think every word I type is shite (excuse the language, but it’s needed here as it describes my thoughts accurately). In fact, I recently read a book which had writers in it and one of them sums up her thoughts about writing and they match mine, perfectly, like so:
Thoughts of quitting have been taking up much of my time recently, and if I’m being entirely honest, not just recently. Since I started writing and publishing some have disappeared from the indie world. Or maybe like me they are simply not spending as much time on social media. That’s where I used to […]
