Musings On My Writing
"Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one" - Terry Pratchett. I truly believe that by reading and writing fantasy - and sometimes scifi - I get to explore more than if I didn't write any genre fiction. Fantasy delves into so many fields; linguistics, archaeology, history, etc. that I learn a lot more… Continue reading Musings On My Writing
May Goals: Writing and Resting
Writing more Thanks to all the public holidays in April (and me taking a few days’ vacation at the end of the month), April went far quicker than I’d thought it would.

Not over the Big Things, mind you that I could get being worked up about. It was me getting worked up because of petty little… Continue reading On Being Unsocial: Why I Deleted Twitter and Facebook from My Phone
Small moments and long-term goals
When you suffer from chronic illness – whether physical or mental – there are small moments to celebrate that which ‘should’ be mundane moments of life. For example, there is seeing the sunrise and being awake before the rest of the world starts its noisy scuffle to get kids to school on time, to be… Continue reading Small moments and long-term goals
February Update – a broken tooth, an ill cat, and other curveballs
