As I mentioned in my last blog post, I’ve finally conquered my writer’s block demon. I’m writing again, I’m drawing again. And, thank God, I’m editing again. A project which I’ve blogged about in the past is a novel I wrote a couple of years ago called Like Pigs – a dystopian thriller set inContinue reading “Back on the Editing Game with Like Pigs”

Writing Update 20/06/23
I’m finally back into the swing of writing and editing! It felt like I’d never get back into my groove, but somehow I managed it. After penning a few poems, writing some Medium posts, and scribbling in my journal, the reflex of writing returned with full force. It goes to show that if you’re determinedContinue reading “Writing Update 20/06/23”

Living off the landbuilt by another’s handstill we take no standfor why should we? Taking what we needfor one day we’ll leaveno one lives foreverso why should we bother?

Overcoming My Creative Block
Recently I posted an article on Medium about struggling with writer’s block, where I talked about my lack of inspiration and motivation with my writing. (I’ll post a link to that article at the bottom of this post.) Ironically, the act of writing that article helped. Something I didn’t explore in great detail, however, wasContinue reading “Overcoming My Creative Block”
I’m Back in the U.K.!
After much preparation, packing, and a whole load of travelling, I am once again residing in the U.K. My partner and I have moved to London to pursue work opportunities, and are still in the process of settling in (and literally moving in, as we haven’t moved into our apartment yet!). I’m hoping that onceContinue reading “I’m Back in the U.K.!”

March Update 2023
Where do I begin? It’s been a while since my last post (a bit of an understatement, I know). I’ve had quite a lot to contend with in my personal life, and as a result, juggling my writing, editing, art, and marketing has been a challenge. My debut novel The Black Rook – a GrimdarkContinue reading “March Update 2023”
