Nano is here and if you don’t know what it is, its basically a competition against yourself to write fifty thousand words on a new book. Many people use this as a chance to just finish a novel, get one started, developing great writing habits, and you can do all of those things. This year I’m not competing but I am writing for the whole months of November and I’m sharing 30… Read More

Journeying Pains

Journeying Pain Most writes say that their writing life is a journey and that it’s different for every writer. Ups and downs, versions of success, what they’re writing and how its published. So many different paths to take. But we have one thing in common: the doubt. The “what if” thoughts that are never or rarely optimistic, and if they are, many contain an overwhelming chunk of inevitable disappointment. I remember the… Read More

Butterfly to a Snake

Writing a whole novel, an honest over 70k full and complete manuscript, tears out your soul. But that doesn’t change that you wrote a whole book.

Featured Poet Taia Dominque

I have not been silent on my support of the Black Lives Matters movement and I’ve been doing that by one action alone; sharing and retweet the voices of those it affects most. Today some of those words were lost. A clear screen shot on Taia Dominique’s Twitter can be seen that she posted the whole poem, but that later other parts of it were taken down. This is not right, the… Read More

Refilling Your Tank

In everything that’s going on at the moment I know some of you are more scared than you’ve ever been before. There are a million things going on outside our control. Fear eats a hole in our stomachs as we twitch aside window curtains and wonder if just one more visit to the store will bring home a fatal virus. We lived with our parents and grandparents dread of another… Read More

An Unstoppable Juggernaut

We live in troubling times. We all know this. Which makes it especially important to stay inside, to work on what makes us happy. Except it doesn’t always work out like that. I’ve been without work for four weeks now and at the start I was very productive in the sure knowledge my situation was temporary. It has become evident over the last two weeks that this will… Read More

Patreon Page Shenanigans

Yep. I’m doing it. I’ve had a Patreon page set up for over month now I haven’t launched. I have been planning it now for about a year. I didn’t do it because asking people to support me in my writing journey from a financial point of view felt crap. But after spending a year doing nothing but give I’ve come to a point where I need to… Read More

Like A Boss

Hilariously enough this post is not about games, one of my favourite past times. This is about the miserable blog post I drafted last night about finding the strength within with a good cry and some sobby youtube clips because my last week has been awful. On one day I received three agent rejections and two job rejections. So I wrote this post at 2am last night feeling very sober and… Read More
