There is a lot to be said about being a writer.  A lot more to be said about being techie nutcase.So yesterday, I was going through my domains.  I applied for a few jobs, but I needed to get all of my domains sorted into some semblance of order, and decide how to get use [...]

Christmas and Yule have been and past, and we’re still at ‘home’ – in the place we were both born.  I’ve spent the day procrastinating like nothing on earth – there’s no reason for it other than I can’t really concentrate, on anything.  That might change tonight, once I’ve met up with freinds, but for [...]

I spent most of today letting my brain trickle over the things that I’m working on.Read that: I procrastinated.
I can’t currently log into the university servers to get any of my materials for my essay that’s due in this Wednesday, so I chose to just chill today.  We went shopping in the morning, then when [...]

First up - a house without a washing machine is a very dull place to be - tomorrow, I spend most of the morning in the laundrette’s.  Woot.

I’ll share more on blogging (as an author) later, but [...]

Most of the time, when I’m asked about authors and blogging, it tends to be about one of a couple of topics, and most commonly ‘what should I blog about?’
Choosing topics to blog about is probably far simpler than most writers believe, but…having said as much, the biggest mistake any writer makes is being TOO [...]

Three days ago, I got the biggest rejection of my year - I’d applied to work with an amazing company, and been told that, on paper, I was good enough. I was praying for the ‘face to face’ interview - and at the same time, I guess, praying that I didn’t need to go [...]

I wouldn’t if I were you.
Now, please note, I’m a very open, interested, and often passionate person. I’ve had lots of problems with agencies and publishers - as a freelancer, as someone that works with friends that want to work with said agencies, editors and publishers, and most importantly, I believe, firmly in saying [...]
