I've always enjoyed Lego. As a kid, I had two huge boxes full of the stuff (I still have these). Many a time, I would tip the boxes out into a big pile on the floor, clear a space in the middle for me to park my butt and sit for hours making random things. … Continue reading Getting Creative with Lego

Physical Pain and Mental Health
As I've said previously, I have bipolar disorder. It's something that I've relatively come to terms with as something that I will have for the rest of my life. I'm, I wouldn't say used to it, but it's there every day, and it's just something I live with. When it comes to physical pain; however, … Continue reading Physical Pain and Mental Health
Pointing and Clicking
This week I've been helping Alex play Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango on the PS4. This has got my thinking about all the old Lucas Arts and point and click adventure games I used to play when I was younger. Something about the point and click adventure game has always captivated me, and … Continue reading Pointing and Clicking
My Bipolar Life (A Long Post)
Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical. I’ve never been the best at doing either. I’m the kind of person that will just suffer in silence and get on with things, and part of what helped me do that was work. So, when it came to the point … Continue reading My Bipolar Life (A Long Post)

Well, I say back to writing…last night I got thinking about the cover for The Next Stage. I know, I know, … Continue reading Cover Second Thoughts
Well, here we are again…
Friday again... But, I'm home now and feeling better. I'm taking today to be lazy and do very little, apart from play games and watch stuff. So this week has been another fun one. I didn't do a blog on Wednesday because I felt so out of it on pain meds that I couldn't concentrate … Continue reading Well, here we are again…
Good News Monday
Yet another Monday hits us in the face like a brick. I woke up feeling sick and in pain, but as the pain meds kick in and the sickness fades away, I’m left with at least some good to come out of a Monday. The Next Stage and Creatures are now available on Google Books … Continue reading Good News Monday

It’s Been Another (Long) Week
As far as writing goes, this week has been a write off. From pointless hospital appointments taking up a day to new pain meds, making me spaced out, I’ve not been able to do a great deal. One plus has come out of this week though, and that’s that both Creatures and The Next Stage … Continue reading It’s Been Another (Long) Week
