This morning I had some great news about something that I have eluded to in previous blog posts. From September, I will be becoming a student as I start my creative writing course at university. I didn’t want to say anything until it was all confirmed because I worried that something would go wrong and … Continue reading Learning More About My Craft

Back At It
This week for the first week since we moved when I've been able to sit down and do some writing. It feels really go to be able to sit down and make some progress on my current WIP. I consciously took some time away from it while we moved so we could get things sorted … Continue reading Back At It
Reviews Are In…
...well the first one is anyway. It's been a slow burn release but Blindsighted is starting to get out there. Sales are low, but Kindle Unlimited pages are coming in quicker and the other day I had my first review over on Goodreads - and it was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. It was also a text review … Continue reading Reviews Are In…
Friday Houseday
The end of another week. But this Friday marks something very special for us. Today is the day we get to go around our newbuild house for the first time. For the past few days, I’ve been resting up and have spent most of my time playing various games – mainly Oddworld: Soulstorm, Borderlands 3 … Continue reading Friday Houseday
Friday Delight
Friday again. Another week is done. It’s the weekend and all that jazz. It’s been another long week at this end. Things with the house are slowly drawing to a close as we’re hoping to be in by the end of April. And my third book, Blindsighted, was released on Wednesday. I spent the bulk … Continue reading Friday Delight
Plants, Mental Health and the Tale of Momma
If you'd told me ten years ago that I would find tending to plants relaxing and good for my mental health, I'd have said you were a total stinking liar (sorry, but I would.) I didn't see myself making 30, so anything beyond that was unobtainable. But I'm still here. I'm now a writer, and … Continue reading Plants, Mental Health and the Tale of Momma
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
The Editing Struggle
When the week started, I was determined to get the paperback proof copy of Blindsighted edited, but it so far hasn’t happened for one reason or another. I’ve managed to get around three quarters the way through it, but the past couple of days haven’t been very productive. I find editing a difficult thing to … Continue reading The Editing Struggle
Anxiety and CBT
Anxiety. Like many other people with bipolar, anxiety is an added unwanted bonus that comes along with it. For many, anxiety is a feeling that occurs every now and then and may be associated with a big event; for example, a job interview, talking in front of others. These situations are considered a normal cause … Continue reading Anxiety and CBT
Friday Restday
Earlier this week, I finished my latest draft of my next book, Blindsighted. Before I did anything more on that novel, I tried to do some further work on Creatures 2. This didn’t go as planned. When I finish a project that I’ve been so into, like a novel draft when I finish, it leaves … Continue reading Friday Restday
