I decided the other day that I was going to aim to do a new blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I didn’t manage to do it this week, so I’m posting today instead. A few months ago, I found out that I have a torn labrum in my left hip, this has meant for … Continue reading Ups and Downs

Writing and Learning
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
