I’ve finally reached 1000 followers. Thank you to every one who follows my blog. An even bigger thank you to those who read it, a far smaller but select group. I’ve been very bad recently at reading other peoples blogs. Something I shall try and rectify and some how make the time. Thank you again, […]
Read more "1000 followers"Last week I posted an article, saying my dream is over. It was click bate I wanted to get people to think I had given up writing. If you read the article it refers to me being a tennis star. The article worked my traffic to my blog increased it was the best day this […]
Read more "The dream isn’t really over"As some of you know about eight weeks ago I feel down some stairs and broke my arm. If it had been a normal break I should be healed by now, unfortunately it wasn’t. Lots of people have been asking about it and up to now I have been a bit vague about it. Mainly […]
Read more "It’s over, my dream has been crushed"Now there is a bit of irony here as I was thinking about this before I put my right hand out of action. I don’t know where I about read the idea, it’s not mine so I apologise for not crediting it. There is a great deal to be said for writing your first draft […]
Read more "Advise from an unpublished Author – Writing by hand"This week’s writing prompt has arrived. I’m off on my holidays, so the next prompt will be on 5th September or possibly the after that.

When I started, it was a mere slip of a thing with 63K words now it has a mammoth 98K bulging (I hope) with sub plots, read herrings and hints of what’s to come. So, […]
Read more "I’ve finally finished my book!"I have another prompt for this week.

Read more "It’s Wednesday – It’s writing prompt time!"I was inspired to write this article as a response to the excellent article written by Ben Blake. Now I have always liked Ben both as an author and a person but in this case, he is wrong. Sorry Ben. He states that fighting in sci-fi film is unrealistic, more akin to dog fights in […]
Read more "Magic and Sci-fi – Ben Blake is Wrong!"I have another drug (prescription only!) induced writing prompt. Last week two others join in. I was very touched I didn’t expect anyone too. After this weeks prompt I’ll link last weeks efforts including my own. I should also add because I’ve left writing this to the last minute and pain wise I’m not having […]
