So, I've spent the last few days going through the proof copies of The Next Stage and doing some final checks. That's all done now and I just have to make the changes on the actual manuscript. I'm all set for a release on Monday 26th. Unfortunately, although I said I was going to try … Continue reading The Next Update

More editing. I’ve so far gone through the first third or so of the proof of The Next Stage. I’d say it’s going reasonably well so far. I’ve come across a number of things that I’d missed when going through the various other edits I’ve done. There’s definitely something about having it physically in my … Continue reading Writing and Learning
Proof Copy Editing
This week I'm spending my time armed with highlighters and post-its reading through the proof copy of The Next Stage and doing some final editing before release. There's something about having the physical book in my hands and reading it as it's supposed to be read that's helping me find any issues there may be … Continue reading Proof Copy Editing
The Evil Without & Book Update
The latest horror game that my Twitter followers voted for me to play was The Evil Within. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't get the damn thing to work. I was getting very frustrated with it so I decided to start the next on the list which was White Night. I started playing White Night … Continue reading The Evil Without & Book Update

It took me a few days, a guide and a lot of hiding in cabinets bit I've done it and I feel better for having another game ticked off the list. Alien Isolation … Continue reading Isolated Gaming

Over the past few weeks I've been slowly going through and editing my final revision of The Next Stage. This morning I finally finished and I think I'm almost ready to release the book into the wild. Before I do though, I've got a few more things that I need to do; mainly formatting the … Continue reading The Next Stage of The Next Stage
Getting There: Another Horror Game Post
I've not been able to move all that well today - pushed a little too far on our very short walk yesterday, so I've spent the day in bed blasting through Resident Evil VII. When I left off yesterday morning I was up to the boss fight that caused me to stop playing last time, … Continue reading Getting There: Another Horror Game Post
Resident Aaaarghvil
Fresh from my completion of both Outlast 1 & 2, I decided to dive back into Resident Evil VII – I did give myself a little break after those, though, to finally finish Breath of the Wild I bought RE7 with my PS4 VR kit and thought it would be a good laugh to be … Continue reading Resident Aaaarghvil
