Finally, it’s done. I have been writing the draft of my third novel for the past five weeks, and it’s finally complete. In some respect, writing the draft is the easy part of the process; or at least, it’s the quickest. Most of the fiction I’ve written is messy and nonsensical before I get roundContinue reading “I Finished My Third Novel”

August Reads – a roundup of the fiction I’ve read this month
This month, I’ve been catching up on a lot of much needed reading time, picking up a novel that I’ve wanted to read for years, and a few random finds from the local book store. I’ve always found maintaining a regular reading habit to be something of a struggle. But the last couple of monthsContinue reading “August Reads – a roundup of the fiction I’ve read this month”
My Writing Keeps Improving (at least, I think it does)
No, I don’t mean that as some kind of brag. It’s not so much my ability to write well structured, lyrical sentences or build convincing characters has dramatically improved in the last few years, it’s more the fact the consistency of my writing sessions that has gained a wealth of momentum. That’s to say IContinue reading “My Writing Keeps Improving (at least, I think it does)”
I’m Writing a New Novel
I’m always excited to start a new novel, especially in the plotting/planning stages.
A New Chapter Has Begun in Canada
It has been months in the making, but I’ve finally moved to Canada. At times it felt like an unreal reality; one that would never come to fruition, but now, here I am. It was a bit of a rocky start, I’m not going to lie. I think I underestimated how much of a shockContinue reading “A New Chapter Has Begun in Canada”
Writing Amidst Chaos
The last couple of weeks of my life have been consumed by readying myself to leave. And I don’t mean packing boxes. Rather, I have been preparing to pack. It turns out that relocating yourself across the Atlantic Ocean, and taking everything you possess with you, is not a piece of cake. For those ofContinue reading “Writing Amidst Chaos”
Writing Update
I haven’t been writing very much the last few days, but there is a reason for it. I’ve been busy helping my partner get ready for her big move to Canada (she is leaving a couple of months earlier than I am). But after she’s left in a few days I will be back toContinue reading “Writing Update”
The Influence of Good Memories
I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately; remembering fond memories from long ago, and reviewing the last few years. When I cast my mind back to the way I was thinking and acting a few years ago, I feel as if I am a completely different person now. I’ve come a long wayContinue reading “The Influence of Good Memories”
Changes Abound
Once again, my life exists in a state of constant flux. In just over two months, I will be moving with my partner to New Brunswick, Canada. It’s going to be a challenging move, as I’ve only ever lived in the north of England. But it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to facing. I’m excitedContinue reading “Changes Abound”
Me, a poet?
I never thought that I would write these words down, but I have to say that I have started to fall in love with writing poetry again. For such a long time, I suffered a turbulent relationship with poetry, both in terms of writing poems, and also reading them. I enjoyed scribbling down a fewContinue reading “Me, a poet?”
