I decided the other day that I was going to aim to do a new blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I didn’t manage to do it this week, so I’m posting today instead. A few months ago, I found out that I have a torn labrum in my left hip, this has meant for … Continue reading Ups and Downs

New Beginnings…
The Next Stage is now out, and after a few days of taking it easy, I’m back to it. I currently have 5 or 6 things that I’ve started to write, and I was trying to think which one I wanted to continue with. But me being the really intelligent human being I am and … Continue reading New Beginnings…

There’s definitely something about having it physically in my … Continue reading Writing and Learning

Next week I'll spend my time going through it and making a few changes to … Continue reading The Next Stage: Paperback Proofs
