NaNoWriMo Update #3
Guess what it is - it's time for update no. 3! My project is currently sitting at around 27,5k words, which is just over halfway in terms of what NaNo is supposed to be (50k), but probably even closer to finished in reality. My plan was always that this was going to be a novella,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Wrath by John Gwynne & The End of An Epic Series
The end has finally come. The Faithful and The Fallen, the epic quadrilogy is over. In one sense I wish there was more of this, because I loved it so much. At the same time, things that don't end tend to drag on until they fall apart. Gwynne has built an impressive world, packed full... Continue Reading →
New Habits – New Writing
In a stupid COVID-19 turn of events, my life's suddenly been turned upside down. The thing is, I like to workout. I've been lucky enough to have access to a small gym that's operated by my job. Which means that we've been allowed to keep it open almost continually through lockdown (with the exception of... Continue Reading →
NaNoWrimo Update #2
According to my calculations - *pulls off sock to count on fingers and toes* - we are exactly halfway through NaNoWriMo, 2020. What do we think of it so far? My novella (which I think this is going to end up being) stands at 20091 words today, and I feel like I'm about halfway. I... Continue Reading →

A handful of readers have already had the pleasure of reading it, and I couldn't be more thriller with the feedback I've been getting. Melissa Compton at Norwich Nights Magazine left a brilliant review, stating that... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo Update #1
Well - this certainly took an unexpected turn. Today we're seven days in - and I'm at 9k words. That means that I'm going to have to pick it up if I want to be able to hit 50k by the end of the month (unless my novella is done before I reach that number),... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft
This is, by far(!), the most original story I've read in ages. It's amazing - so brilliantly written, so unique - it's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy meets a steampunk version of The Hobbit. In this first book in the series, we meet Thomas Senlin and his new wife, who are going on their... Continue Reading →
Preparing for NaNoWriMo!
It's finally here! NaNoWriMo 2020 is upon us! Tomorrow, all hell breaks loose... I'm super excited. No, really. The first year I did it (2018) I was testing myself. I bent the rules and wrote as much as I could in a week rather than a month. The next year I tried to do it... Continue Reading →
