I’ve just realised what my book is missing, but why do I have to have the idea now, after I’ve gone to bed when I’ve got work in the morning! Hopefully it will not take to long to write all the new ideas down.

Also please remember this is still the first draft so is somewhat rough and full of mistakes. Please feel free to comment. The […]

Read more "Distractions"I can not come up with a name for my world. I have no trouble thinking up plots, religions, magic systems, or characters but I can’t do names. I even tried a random name generator but no luck, at this rate my new word might be called Eric’s land or something equally lame.
Read more "What’s in name?"I’m taking a break from my book to write a couple of short stories for the BFS competition. Both are going to be back stories for the book so even if I don’t get anywhere in the competition at least they will help. The first story will be the creation story for my world – […]
Read more "This weekend I will be mainly writing short stories"I’ve been reading a lot of blogs by other authors and been stressing about my low word count. The last couple of nights aided by a cosmo and glass or two of red I’ve managed to only write 500 – 600 words. Having looked back at what I wrote its some the best bits I’ve […]
