I have started working on a science fiction story for a competition. It's only about 750 words but as I was writing it I realised that it is a monologue. I mean the main character references others, in particular her husband but apart from that it is 750 words from one character. Monologues can be good.… Continue reading Stories and monologues

A new year
I don't do resolutions... Quite simply if I do them I tend to break the promises. so instead I make outlandish ones that I know I won't do but will bring a smile to a friend's face. This year they are: I am not allowed to bungee jump from any helicopters... I must not play… Continue reading A new year
Merry Christmas
It's that time again and I have eaten far too much and drunk a little as well. Today has been relaxing and simply wonderful. I had been playing around with my phone and I made a small story board. I should mention that this rum has been fermenting for the last two years... The photo… Continue reading Merry Christmas
The workshop is fixed…
Well, almost. The carpet is down (in the end the old one had to be lifted) and the place is feeling less like a cold box. Except there is no work being done... At least no writing. Instead, I am drawing pet portraits and trying to get Christmas presents sorted. This year, as with most… Continue reading The workshop is fixed…
Finally Back in the Workshop
It feels like it has been months, but the reality has been no more than a week. Except things have changed... I have a new shelving unit - so there is less clutter and so more space to write and create art. Major plus side... Not so good is the small flood that awaited me… Continue reading Finally Back in the Workshop
Santa’s not so little helper
Yep, for the last week I have been working hard... Except it hasn't been on the writing or the drawing. Instead, I have donned a red hat and pointy ears. I became a Christmas elf. I wasn't making gifts or anything along those lines, but I was creating a Christmas Fair. We are a committee… Continue reading Santa’s not so little helper
Trying something new
Today was interesting. In fact, it was fun. I went on a taster course for forensics. Okay, I was sat next to the interested and the young. Some wanted to know if Lewis was correct while others where there to find out if they wanted to pursue it as a career. I was there to… Continue reading Trying something new
A challenge!
C.S. Wilde challenged me to two sentence story... So here it is and here's the link so you can have a go as well: The lights were getting brighter behind her, but Liv had no where to go except down. Giving a small sigh she moved her feet through the mud at the cliffs edge… Continue reading A challenge!
Looking back…
I have been in a retrospective mood. It was just January that I put aside the toys (I was a toy manufacturer) and became a full-time writer and artist. Since then I have published a novella and a novel. There are another two novels on the go and I have ideas for a couple more.… Continue reading Looking back…
Those voices…
I've just finished watching a series called 'River'. It's a great story that revolves around a man who hears voices, and sees them... As I was watching a rabbit in armour was sitting on my shoulder and screaming a war cry, whilst a woman was crouched in the corner of the room crying because life… Continue reading Those voices…
