Sunday 31st December 2017 2017 was a funny old year. It was my Year of the Offensive … a year for me to push myself and claim the rewards for my hard work. As I said back then “it’s going to be a year where I happen to it rather than it happens to me”. [...]
Saturday 30th December 2017 I didn’t feel too bad this morning considering how much I’d had to drink at the party, but I was glad when some of the others who’d stayed over decided that we’d go to a greasy spoon. I’m not sure whether it was just the hangover, but I think that was [...]
Thursday 21st December 2017 It feels that over the last couple of days, plans for 2018 have suddenly come into focus. Maybe, getting an idea of what my theme for the year is has allowed everything to slot together, or perhaps taking a bit of a break has given me time to relax and gather [...]
Thursday 23rd November 2017 Today was a busy day with both Physio and gym this morning. It left me feeling knackered this afternoon (especially as I had to be up super-early this morning after getting back very late from training). But I’d arranged to go out for a meal this evening with my beta-reader Kate. [...]
Saturday 7th October 2017 I had just one task to do today: get a vlog done! With my trip to Romania looming, I want to get back in the habit of vlogging so I can capture what looks to be an amazing trip. But I fell foul of a mistake a lot of content creators [...]
Friday 6th October 2017 I’ve never believed in God. Nor do I believe in fate. I do, however, believe the universe gives you signs from time to time. In truth this is just your subconscious drawing meaning from your day, finding parallels that justify a position you probably have already unknowingly concluded. But I’m a [...]
Thursday 5th October 2017 I’ve been a bit all over the place the last few weeks. The Climb has been late going up and if I’m honest I’m feeling a little frustrated with progress on just about everything. Publishing moves glacially slow. Books are big complex things and so they take time to get right, [...]
Saturday 30th September 2017 So every writer dreams of their book being big. You’ve invested so much time into it that it becomes like a child. You love it unconditionally despite the flaws other people can see in it. And as a result, it’s hard not to think it the most perfect book in the [...]
Friday 22nd September 2017 Urgh! I’ve only been back at the day job for 2 days and already the weekend couldn’t come quick enough. I’ve decided that I have a new pet hate. It’s when you get asked to do a job in a rush… because the information is needed urgently. There’s a large part [...]
Thursday 21st September 2017 I’ve had a good week so it was only natural that it had to balance out. That came in the form of me managing to pull my lower back in the gym this evening. It’s in the same spot I pulled a while back and it’s so annoying. I was doing [...]
