Thumper’s Law
It has been a bit quite around here of late. Part of that is work but mostly it’s because of something I learned watching Bambi. Thumper’s Law states: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all. So, for the moment, I leave you to your own devices and look forward to reentering… Continue Reading →
Procrastination vs Productivity
No, this is not really a productivity post. More of a procrastination post. Let’s face it, most of them are. Sorry…. A little while ago I wrote a post on how I work and an important part of that was based around Evernote. While I’ve been stuck in my tiny human world, I’ve been oblivious… Continue Reading →
To unplug, or not to unplug? That is the question.
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them? We live in amazing times. To a fairly large extent we can thank science and technology for that. What do I mean by amazing? I mean… Continue Reading →
Rumours of My Demise are Somewhat Premature
OK, so this is a bit of a cheat blog. I usually manage a blog post every month, so in the interests of maintaining my record – which only I actually care about – here we go. I don’t have a lot to say or enlighten you with, at least as I start to write… Continue Reading →
Where are we going? A conversation with myself.
Too pretentious as a title? One of me doesn’t care, at least not for the moment. So, today I’m taking on the role of all of modern society and asking myself the big questions, like, How long do we have left on the planet? Will we ever populate Mars? Will I ever get my flying… Continue Reading →
Work Less – Work More
So this year has seen me swamped by work. Again. Still…. I’d estimate that I’ve been working around 70+ hours a week since the start of the year. This is not the first time that things have been so out of control. It is not a badge of honour, I am not proud of this,… Continue Reading →
Character Defining in a Flash
What makes a story? Obviously, the plot has to be there, but if the characters that have to convey this aren’t compelling, then it is all for naught. What makes a good character? Am I the right person to be telling you? Well, if you don’t know what makes a “good” character, go away and… Continue Reading →
Reflections In
I’ve never been one for making New Year resolutions, but the end of the year, and a few days holiday, do give one the time to reflect. So reflecting I am. This year I complained a lot about time, specifically, the lack of it. Sorry. In the interests of full disclosure, I have been reliably… Continue Reading →
Writing is like walking
Put one word in front of the other and keep on going until you get to the end. Of course, some people walk better than others. And really, that is probably where the analogy finishes. Actually, I probably should have stopped before this whole thing got out of hand. But I won’t. Something I learnt… Continue Reading →
Every Day I Write The BookS
After the last cathartic post on why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo, not to mention the constant whining about not writing, I have actually been writing a lot. I currently have three novels on the go, and as of last week another new story; so new it doesn’t even have a working title. I’m only at the… Continue Reading →
