This Easter was a family and friends affair. I spent Saturday at the local Easter Fair that I had helped organise. It was fun. The only thing that put a dampener on the day was the weather. Considering the Friday had been wonderfully bright and sunny, the simple fact that Saturday was cold, wet and… Continue reading Easter is over

Sharpened Pencils
It took me an hour to sharpen all the pencils. No really... You see twice a year I help organise local fairs. Here in Tregaron that means Easter and Christmas. Of the two I can safely say that the Christmas Fair is bigger, boasting more than 25 stalls and a free Santa. But the Easter… Continue reading Sharpened Pencils
Three times…
They say bad things always happen in threes and I can agree. So, after my stiff neck I developed a nasty cold. That I can handle. It means I don't get much work done but it is okay. Then I went for a nap, in order to get over the cold. My window was open… Continue reading Three times…
A pain in the neck
No, I mean really. I'm not sure why but at the moment I have a massively stiff neck. At first I thought it was a migraine but then it stuck around. Some mornings I would wake up with a slight pain and other mornings all I could do was hold my head and roll over.… Continue reading A pain in the neck
Snow!
It's snowing here in Wales. What does that mean? Well, more accidents than normal. I mean, so far there have been two in a small village not far away and at least one on the coast road. Doesn't sound like much? I suppose if I lived in a large urban area it wouldn't be but I… Continue reading Snow!
Blogs that are books
I miss The Gone.... I wrote it just over a year and every week or more I would upload a post that was essentially another part of the book. It was weird to do as I couldn't edit. But it kept my mind sharp. And now, just a few months later, I find that I… Continue reading Blogs that are books
Time.
At the beginning of the year it felt like I had loads of time. I set myself some tasks that were a little ambitious, especially if you consider the problems I have with words in the first place. I do have a bad case of the dyslexia... It even hit last night while I was… Continue reading Time.
Over-writing vs not
The last story I wrote I found that I had written far more than I needed. The result was that I cut huge areas of the story and submitted it to the competition. It was turned down and they sent feedback. Some of the problems stemmed from the names I had given my characters (an… Continue reading Over-writing vs not
Well, that’s a surprise…
Yesterday Dad staggered into the kitchen after feeding the chickens and he was as white as a sheet, which, considering he is half Indian, was an achievement. "What's up?" I asked. "We just got new stock..." "Huh?" I was completely confused but he led us all outside, Mum, Me and my sister's kids, who we… Continue reading Well, that’s a surprise…
A Customer Review!
I'm bad at marketing... In fact, I'm probably the worst. I log onto author central at Amazon maybe a few times a year. I know... It's terrible. I ought to be pushing my books and writing more about them. Posting them on my blog and tweeting them. Only when other writers do it I find… Continue reading A Customer Review!
