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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As a new year is now well into existence I realise that I really should start to plan into the future a little better. You never know when your car is going to cost $800 to get a bunch of crap done to it. Though I know when that will happen, it happened last week. [...]

I have a very good friend. I’ve known her for years and will for many more. She’s a top bird, and she shares the same first name as my wife (coincidence, I swear). I’ve shared many drunken nights with her, road trips, I even bought her old car, Camilla, years back. I’ve crashed at her [...]
