I am an active digital citizen — I use Facebook, Twitter, have a blog, actually I do quite a few things online. I am also a father and recently I started thinking about this digital footprint and my son. I talk about a lot of things and sometimes the point of discussion is my son. [...]

I like making New Years resolutions. I’m not sure I always stick to them but they’re fun to think of because it’s a time to truly put yourself before the microscope and be honest in what you want to succeed in the coming year. Which is often tantamount to admitting what you felt failed in [...]

A package was sent to my house this week. This was my wife’s response. The package was addressed to our son. It’s his first birthday in a few days, it makes sense he’d be getting something in the mail. The sender’s name was my wife’s name, or so it would appear. Upon seeing what she [...]

A Book Fair the size of an aeroplane hanger. That’s how it should be. Except, like a rookie, I organised to meet mates there. I felt like a fool riffling through boxes of comics and tables of books while trying to chat and catch up. This is a solo exercise, or only for the most [...]

This one’s a little weird, so hold on. I had a dream last night. Or rather, it was more this morning. Anyway – Frank Miller was in town for a screening of something (not The Spirit) and afterwards I found out he was staying with the people next door. I ‘accidentally’ bumped into him out [...]

I consider myself a writer. I write damn near every day. I think about it a lot, I do it even more. And I produce work. I do not doubt myself as a writer – though at times may doubt my quality. I am constantly trying to better myself as a writer and I found [...]
