Come September I’ll become a student for the first time since I was 17 as I head off to university to study creative writing. I had my place confirmed several months back, but when this week I officially registered, it all became real; I’m actually going. Although I’m excited to go to uni and study … Continue reading University Nerves

Another Friday Rolls Around
Damn, it’s been a hectic week. I was at physio on Monday. It’s going quite well, and the physiotherapist is happy with my progress. However, he decided that the exercises that he had given me were now too easy, so he’s given me some harder ones and holy hell, are they harder. I struggle to … Continue reading Another Friday Rolls Around

Anyway, today I’m just going to give a brief update … Continue reading Friday Writing Update

When people think about depression they generally think about someone who is a bit sad for a given reason. This is absolutely not … Continue reading Bipolar Disorder: The Depressive Side
Another Week is Ending.
It's been a productive week, but I'm ending it with toothache, earache and generally feeling like warmed up crud. When I've not been doing bits and pieces around the house, I've been preparing more blog posts, and I've managed to get a fair few banked and scheduled. As far as work on novels, I've not … Continue reading Another Week is Ending.
Getting Prepared
The past few weeks have been manic - I don't mean inside my brain either. There hasn't really been a time when someone hasn't been coming and going from our house and it's taken its toll on my mood. Although I'm not hitting a full on depressive episode, I've not been feeling right. After discussing … Continue reading Getting Prepared
