Time Ain’t Always On Your Side

I have been defeated, it’s true.
Time has elapsed and I can only get so much done. I have to stop and admit I am human, and I am fallible. And I’m certainly both of those things.
I busted my ass over the weekend to end up with 5 scripts of 5 pages in length. I don’t [...]

40 List For Kelly Sue

I’m not always a massive one for blog meme’s or anything. I find some of them interesting but usually they just hash out the usual stuff. I created a comic book meme and watched a few run with it, and I’m still waiting for a XXX meme to rear its ugly lubricated head (and I [...]

Bathroom Stall Quickies

Sometimes you just don’t have time to say I love you, but you can still show it.
Stephen King is releasing a new book just before Christmas, how fortuitous. It’s called Full Dark, No Stars. Kind of an emo title, but I’m sure King will make it all so much more awesome. There will be four [...]

Life Through The iPhone

I finally upgraded, Ryan 2.0. It took long enough and anything I say surely isn’t going to be much news to any of you out there who’ve been rocking the iPhone for years, but it has changed a few aspects of my life. Nothing drastically, I would never go that far, it hasn’t revolutionised the [...]

Fade Down The Lights On The Holidays

My two weeks of glorious vacation is over. And what have I done?
It’s been a pretty productive one, I must say, though not as productive as some have been in the past. I spent the first few days vacationing out of town with the wife on a ‘babymoon’. A mate asked me if this was [...]

Monday Mornings For All You Sports Fans

Man, I love starting the week. It’s hectic but it’s also a great time to get stuff done. Especially when you don’t have to go to work. I could get so much done with my days if I just didn’t need to attend that pesky place that pays me so I can pay my bills. [...]

Only So Much Time

I’m still kicking things along but I’m getting much more conscious of my time.
The Novel
I’m currently over 58k into my latest, and fourth novel. It’s going well and I plod along with a few k of words each week. Last night I wrote 300-400 words and this morning busted out a solid 900 words and [...]

It’s Been A Week

Wow, seems like working on three blogs, and a novel, is taking its toll.
I haven’t been very busy here but I’ve been busy elsewhere. I reviewed some excellent comics, and I’ve finally seen my baby up close and personal. I’ve added a few k of words to the novel, as always, and I’ve been at [...]

And One Makes Three

I never thought I’d have a blog, hell, a few years ago I barely knew what one was. Now I have over 300 posts here, over what must be about 3 years, and I love the chance to put things out there and share and have transparency to my writing. It’s interesting and scary and [...]

Back In The Saddle Again

I am a writer. By now you know that, but by day I am a mild mannered primary school teacher. It’s fun and it pays the bills. Score.
For the past five weeks I have been on summer holidays. It’s awesome, I’ve got like 12 hours a day with which to write and all that fun [...]
