I haven’t posted on here since October 2023! My life as an author and artist has, for the most part, been put on hold since then. I’ve written the odd poem and short story, but overall my attention has been diverted to other parts of my life. That’s not to say I didn’t take myselfContinue reading “March Updates”

Halloween’s Around the Corner
Halloween has crept up on me this year. I’ve been so focused on my day job that I haven’t taken a moment to stop, reflect, or plan, at all this month. I’ve scarcely written anything, except for notes at work. I haven’t found any time (or created any time) to sit down and write. AnotherContinue reading “Halloween’s Around the Corner”
Update: October 2023
It’s been a while since I did any writing, except for today. The last project I was working on was a novel/novella (as of yet undecided) titled Polite Society, which explores class bias and stereotypes ingrained in British society. I began writing it with all guns ablazing in September, which quickly staggered to a haltContinue reading “Update: October 2023”
Another New Beginning
I’ve only been living in London for 4 months now, and already we have moved from the initial flat we were living in. We have moved to a co-living space only a stone’s throw from central London, which I’m hoping will be a good opportunity to network and also an inspiring space to write, createContinue reading “Another New Beginning”
London is the gateway to heaven and hell
I have been living in London for around 3 months now. During that time, I have experienced a host of highs and lows of many different varieties. Suffice it to say that the narrative I had expected to live through has not come to pass. The realisation is as humbling as it is disappointing. MyContinue reading “London is the gateway to heaven and hell”
I’ve finished Like Pigs! (again)
I have actually lost count of the number of edits I’ve done for my novel, Like Pigs. How ever many it’s been, I can now add another digit to the tally. Every edit I undertake has a general purpose in mind; often they’re developmental, and other times it’s just a case of line editing aContinue reading “I’ve finished Like Pigs! (again)”
Back on the Editing Game with Like Pigs
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”
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.!”
