Just a quick update today as we're off for our pre-plaster inspection of our new house. When I get back to writing, I'll be continuing with my second draft of Blindsighted. Last week I got around halfway through and even managed to add an extra 4000 or so words for the extra bits I wanted … Continue reading Monday Writing Update

Publishing Perils and Mental Health
I self-published The Next Stage back in October. Before I did this, however, I sent it out to a few publishers that when I didn't hear back from, I decided to go ahead with publishing it myself. A few weeks ago I received an email from one of the publishers that I'd sent to, saying … Continue reading Publishing Perils and Mental Health
January PSNow – Frostpunk (Review)
January's PSNow titles were Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars and The Crew 2. As I've played the three Bioshock games a number times - there's never too many - I decided to give something I'd never played a go; I chose Frostpunk.

Stardew Valley: Not Just a Farming Sim (A Review)
A little while ago we were browsing the various game stores for something new to play. When Googling some games, we came across a little game called Stardew Valley. Now, I will admit that I wasn't really sold on the idea of this game, but it was really up Alex's street so after watching the … Continue reading Stardew Valley: Not Just a Farming Sim (A Review)
Dreams and Writing
Dreams are weird. In our dreams, we can do and be anything. They’re thought to be the brain's way of processing emotions, stimuli, memories, and other information that's been absorbed throughout the day. Many of the people that appear in your dreams may be people you know, perhaps in different roles; but they are people … Continue reading Dreams and Writing
Taking a Mental Health Day
Today I'm taking a day off to recharge. The past couple of weeks have been stressful, not least because one side of our family has been diagnosed with Covid. This has left me and Alex being the ones that they call on to deliver food and other things to help them pass the time during … Continue reading Taking a Mental Health Day
Moonlighter – Sales and Slashing (A Review)
Last year we discovered a new game; Moonlighter. We watched a trailer for this delightful little dungeon crawling shopkeeper game and straight away we knew that it was our kind of game. It was reasonably cheap for a physical copy, so we went ahead and ordered a copy. When it arrived, I was knee-deep in … Continue reading Moonlighter – Sales and Slashing (A Review)

This past week I completed my first draft of Blindsighted, what I hope will be my next book to release. It currently stands at around 60K words. I already have ideas of what things that I want to add or alter within the main story, but I’m taking some time away from this story for … Continue reading Ghost Writer
