Blindsighted: A New Book on the Way
Welcome to another week I started writing what became Blindsighted when I was trying to get back into writing after being unable to get going on anything when struggling with my mental health. Starting a new story really helped me get back into writing and calm my brain, which at the time was going a … Continue reading Blindsighted: A New Book on the Way
An Instagram Battle
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that we’re currently in the middle of a house move. We’ve recently bought a new build home, and we’re now waiting for the final bits to be done before we move in. What I haven’t mentioned – well, I don’t think I have anyway – is that one of our … Continue reading An Instagram Battle
Another Monday
On a Monday I usually do a writing update and was hoping that today I would have the news that I finished editing the proof copy of Blindsighted, but unfortunately I don't. Editing is taking a little longer than I had originally expected for one reason or another, but I'm still doing what I can … Continue reading Another Monday
The Joy of the NES
The Nintendo Entertainment System or NES was released back in the ’80s and was the first console that I ever owned – we did have a Commodore 64 as well, but I have no idea when that was bought. My NES was given to me for Christmas. I remember the day when both me and … Continue reading The Joy of the NES

These situations are considered a normal cause … Continue reading Anxiety and CBT
The Third Draft Continued
It’s Monday again, which means I’m back to going through my latest draft of Blindsighted. Last week, I decided to change the style from third-person to first-person and as much work as that’s created for me, I feel it was the best decision. It now feels a little more personal, and for the story, I’m … Continue reading The Third Draft Continued
Here We Go Again…
As I said in Friday's post, last week was a bust as far as writing was concerned. I started doing some on Monday but couldn't focus enough on it for it to be worthwhile. I didn't want to muddle my way through and mess things up. This week though I'm back on it. As is … Continue reading Here We Go Again…
An Unexpected Week Away from Writing
I started the week with every intention of getting through the second draft of Blindsighted. Unfortunately, my brain had other ideas. I generally check my book sales a couple of times a week to see how things are going and if there are a few blank spaces, I’m fine with it, and I just get … Continue reading An Unexpected Week Away from Writing
Friday Blog – Bread Recipe

But, as a few people wanted to know the recipe for the bread that I posted … Continue reading Friday Blog – Bread Recipe
