This lockdown has been a bit of a blessing for me personally. I honestly don’t want that to sound like I’m belittling the trouble that others are having, or the people who have suffered or died as a result of Covid19. This is purely a speculation on how this period of quarantine has affected me…
Hey folks, This week I’m proud to present another guest blog! This one is from BJ Frazier who is a writer I met on Twitter and has been a wonderful source of fun and friendship. We’ve been conversing for a while now, and I decided to ask her if she’d like to contribute to my…
So, it’s that day of the year when we celebrate all things Star Wars. And now that I’ve spent the day teasing my Star Wars-loving work colleague by changing my Skype avatar to the Battlestar Galactica logo, I suppose I’d better actually talk about something vaguely Star Warsian… If that’s even a word? I’m going…
If you’ve been reading along with my blog for the past few months, you know that I’ve been pretty vocal about stress, anxiety, and mental illness as a whole. It’s important to me that I openly talk about what ails my addled brain. Perhaps it’s because of my own journey, but anything related to this…

Hi, folks, I thought it would be nice to let you folks hear from a voice other than mine now and then. So, I’ve asked some friends who have an interest in being creative to write a few words here and there. Chell and I were childhood friends (through our parents knowing each other). We’d…
If you’re an avid reader of my blog (and if you aren’t then why not? Go back and read all the previous ones now… It’s ok, I’ll wait for you… Done? Then we can continue!) then you’ll know that I’m a Trekkie. For those who didn’t go back and read the previous blogs, here’s the…
I don’t do topical subjects very often, but as the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer said today… “These are unprecedented times.” Which calls for unprecedented measures. So, today I’m going to talk about the two horrifying pandemics that have embraced the globe. Pandemic #1 – COVID-19 Or the Coronavirus to those who don’t think of…
It is the want of many writers to become published ‘authors’.At least, if they’re like me anyway. I have a burning ambition to see the words ‘published author‘ somewhere in my bio. Not just that, but I want to see my book on a shelf in a book shop somewhere. (I entertain dreams of sneakily…
To, Sylessae & Nikki I’m not sure what witchcraft you undertook to pull off this little surprise, but there’s a love heart for each of you up there because you are both utterly AWESOME! Okay, folks…here’s a little story about how amazing both the #WritingCommunity and the #ArtCommunity are. Let’s start with the writers. As…
