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”

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”
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”

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”
Am I a Better Person Than I Was Five Years Ago?
It’s not an easy question to answer. Quite apart from the fact that the term better person is a bit of a misnomer, it then makes you question if you were a good person five years ago. The point of this article is not to determine whether I was a moral or immoral person, butContinue reading “Am I a Better Person Than I Was Five Years Ago?”
