  • This specific genre

    I have recently identified a genre of films that feels as if it connects with me very deeply. I am not sure how niche this is but am hoping that the examples provided will push others to dip into the comments section and add any that I have not yet included. This specific genre can […]

  • CAMPNANOWRIMO – July 2019

    I have just completed my National Novel Writing Month project for July. It was touch and go on a number of occasions but I am proud to announce that the first draft of The Gift Shop is now complete. It’s one of the most personal stories I’ve ever written and, as tends to be the […]

  • Philippines 35mm. 

    Had these printed up this week. Reminds me of what I’m missing by being back home.  Live, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry. 

  • The First 20k.

    They say the first cut is the deepest. By they, I mean animal-print-clad pork swordsman Rod Stewart. I can’t account for that. I suppose it’s possible the first cut could be like a tester and then they could really take the plunge. Initially see how malleable the flesh is, then go up to the hilt. […]

  • Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 31

  • Camp NaNoWriMo – Day 24

    Day 24 of Camp NaNoWriMo 2016. 38,000 words in. The countdown is saying I’m going to finish on the 1st August which is technically outside of July. Once you’re into August it’s time up. That means I need to write more words than I currently am. I’ve never taken part in Camp NaNoWriMo and not […]

  • A poem for my friends.

    This one is for my friends. My friends working full time jobs and still committing time to the things they want to pursue, their dreams, their calling, their passion. This one is for my friends who are working two jobs. This is for my friends who run on coffee, on cigarettes, on whatever they can […]

  • National Novel Writing Month – week 1 and week 2

    In the first two weeks of NaNoWriMo 2015 I managed to start and finish an entire book. It got pretty dark at times but I still thoroughly recommend it. Onto the next one…

  • What NaNoWriMo 2013 Taught Me

    It’s the last day of November which means it is finally time for me to have a day to not really do a whole lot. Unfortunately in my world these kind of days do not exist. I don’t know how to not do anything. It makes me anxious. On this day of not doing a […]

  • NaNoWriMo – Day 20

    I am growing slightly concerned that I’m losing the plot, and not just the plot of my second book this month. I’m at the 23,000 word mark for Sue Key and it has got even more surreal than I had originally pictured. The idea was to write the start of a three-part fantasy series I’ve […]
