I like to stay up with new aids for dyslexics... I mean I have to because I make money at writing and I can't sit at the computer for hours on end and not get anything done, or work too slowly. My real bug bear is the keyboard. Why is it that I can type… Continue reading New Kit

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
Canvas!
I have bought some. I'm going to try to produce some Welsh Life canvases for the next exhibition in August... I've got the ones which have an extra depth so that the drawing around the side will show really well. Now I just got to decide what to draw. And to stop being so scared.… Continue reading Canvas!
The weekend just gone…
I'd like to say that it went well. But the reality is that I was ill. I suppose I could have pushed myself but the last time I did that it had resulted in doctors and antibiotics.

The Book
I have decided that it will be a trilogy... I sat down with my editor and we went over the story so far and decided that it was for the best. Rather than writing the 150k tomb it would be. And I'm changing the name. It will no longer be Nomura... but I'm not sure… Continue reading The Book

They won't take five minutes to make so I had to choose the website. Why the sudden… Continue reading Websites and cakes…
Where has the time gone?

Creativity
Today I have spent my time putting up an exhibition for the Celf Canolbarth Cymru group. I'm a member and three of my pieces are now in Aberglasney Gardens until 28th April. But still, as me and Nigel were aligning the thirtieth picture and making sure it was straight (a difficult ask when using hanging… Continue reading Creativity
