Okay, this is gunna be a LONG blog post. I have to cover the reason for the post as well as addressing the content of the title itself, so there’s a bit of material to cover. I apologise in advance. Maybe I’ll split it into two posts and save everyone’s eyes. (EDIT: yeah, I’m gunna […]

I’m always really surprised when I look up from my computer and find myself staring at the end of another year. Somehow or other I always approach the end of the year with a bit of a haze around my head and the idea that there’s still months and months ahead in the year. Then NaNoWriMo hits

For the last couple of days I’ve been watching Wanted (yeah, it’s a KDrama—what of it?). Mostly by the end it was a hot mess (flyaway story threads that were never quite resolved, inconsistent characterisation, inconsistant and shifting morals/application of those morals) but it had so many good things about it and was so riveting to
Some of you might have seen the tweets and fb statuses that I’ve been making about trying to decide which book of mine should go audio first. After much thought and input, I’ve decided to go with the first Two Monarchies book, Spindle. Right? Not so much. Because now I have to find the perfect
Right. Today, I’m gonna talk about something that is both very important and very applicable. Wait, that’s the wrong pic. I want to talk about looking after myself—yourselves, ourselves, etc. In that vein, here, have the correct gif: As some context for this seemingly out-of-the-blue post, here’s a look at the last two weeks of

It’s not perilous, exactly—unless you consider feeling like an idiot roughly 2-5 times per lesson a peril, that is—but there is a steep learning curve associated with it, and certain pitfalls that come with that.

Last week was a particularly busy one. I was working on the business side of writing, which meant arranging promotions, updating files and payments methods, etc, and fiddling with Createspace (I count that with the business stuff because I hate formatting and business stuff almost equally). I was also busy following a particularly nasty story

As you may have guessed from the title of my blog post, today is Monday. Also, it’s rainy. You’re always gonna get the truth from me, you blokes. On this particular rainy Monday, I’m feeling very cosy and relaxed. Part of that is because of the rain: there’s nothing better than curling up beneath my
I’m not actually going to talk about cars. I mean, this is a writing blog, not a car blog, and what do I know about cars anyway? So when I say hybrid, I am, of course, referring to hybrid authors: those who both self-publish, and traditonally-publish. Or, more specifically, myself. That’s right. As of today,
