End of November update
I’m doing better. A couple of nights ago I worked on the fifth part of The Maw of Despair (that’s Part 4 of The Rescue). Damn near finished it in one sitting. Still haven’t finished the challenge I set for myself. Who knew that it would be so difficult to find a place to use…

November update
So I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog lately. I’ve started a higher dose of anti-depressants and I feel better, but I have been asleep quite a bit. Hopefully this just means that I’m adjusting, and I’ll be more energetic in a few weeks. I anticipate being able to do more frequent blog updates…

No Way Home
So I finished up No Way Home Part 2. It’s a bit shorter than expected, at just under 1000 words. Have a read of it if you like! I haven’t actually finished up the challenge that I set myself. Still got to find a way to work the word ‘snapped’ into the next part. I…

Also, active vs passive cooling for laptops
Ha! Two blog posts in one day! You just can’t shut me up. 🙂 So, as you may have gathered, there’s active and passive cooling. Active meaning that your fans are spinning, passive meaning that they aren’t. Now on the one hand, passive cooling does allow your laptop (or netbook in my case) to save…

Progress update and a request
Today I’ve finally got around to doing some writing. You know what? The whole challenge thing was a good idea. I mean, admittedly, I’ve only done 346 words today, but I feel relaxed about it and the words are actually coming. More to the point, I’ve already used two out of the three words that…

Post-mortem for September 2014
Well, again, I didn’t hit my target of 2900 words. If I’m being honest, having that goal to beat isn’t really helping much. What actually helped more than anything last month was having three words to set me off in a particular direction and write a particular piece that I wanted to do. So that’s…

Desert Island Writing Challenge
Imagine that you have been shipwrecked. You decide to write a story to pass the time in between surviving and creating an S.O.S. in Times New Rocks Extra Large on the beach. But what horror is this? You discover that your only writing supplies are a single sheet of paper and one pen. Undeterred though,…

Servant of the Siphen
It’s no longer for sale on the Kindle Store and will shortly be withdrawn from Nook Press as well. It’s just not selling, so it’s kind of pointless leaving it on there hoping for a sale and the crappy royalty I’ll get if I do make a sale. You can still read it on Wattpad…

Brainstorming a plan
So it’s time to formulate a plan. A plan for what, you may well be wondering? Well, for a start, turning out a better word count each month. Stories don’t write themselves, after all, and I’ve got several to get through. I made a start in the right direction by doing my writing before unwinding…
