There is a window opposite my bed, a big one. It's curved and gives m a little more space, although it is already a big room. I can sit and watch the tree, the leaves that fall and change. At the moment it is Autumn and every thing is turning orange and brown. I know… Continue reading The Window – a short story

Practice makes perfect… Right?
So, I'm looking at starting on the PhD in only a few weeks. But I am worried about my writing of short stories being a little lax... I thought about it... and then decided that there was one thing I could do. Practice! All writers do it, and I actually love writing short stories, so… Continue reading Practice makes perfect… Right?
There are prints on Etsy
Once I was going to keep the books and the art separate. The two would never meet, but lately I have seen more people using Etsy than any other platform... So I have popped the two latest artworks onto Etsy. Watchful Islands and The Swan have both landed... ETSY ...has it all handled so if… Continue reading There are prints on Etsy
What’s been happening?
Well, of late, a lot. Which means of course, that I haven't been blogging. But then life can get in the way. The good news is that the colouring book for kids is almost ready...

What to do?
I am actually going to study for a Ph.D.! But this means a certain amount of writing that is taken up with research. I want to keep you all abreast of it but do I just create another button, or do I open a new blog...? Is anyone interested in 19th-century asylums?
Update
I have been missing and for that I apologise. Sorry... It was Easter and we went away for a while. Loved that. It was so nice... It was a great few days with us going from Weston Super Mare to Bath. We both needed a recharge and we did that. But before the trip I'd… Continue reading Update
Drawing
Which is better? Digital or traditional? I do both. In fact, they both take the same amount of time. But which is the better medium? I can't decide... Which is the better for resale? Do people even buy digital drawings? I'm planning a drawing but I can't decide whether to make it digital or traditional...… Continue reading Drawing
PhD’s
Have I mentioned that I'm thinking about going for one? I have a masters in creative writing and I have found a project that I really want to study. Nineteenth Century industrialisation and disability... Sounds boring? It isn't. Imagine being about to interview the disabled from two centuries ago. There would be some that couldn't… Continue reading PhD’s
