So, I got about 25% of the way into reading the completed first draft of my novel and then I got completely stalled. I was at a complete loss to explain why, but I just couldn’t read on. It was not that I thought the book was bad. I was … Read More
Its 1 week til Christmas, which means 2 weeks until New year (and another 2 days until my love comes to visit me once again). Unlike most of the people on my Facebook feed, 2013 has not been particularly bad, or vanished particularly fast. I wonder if this is because … Read More
As 2013 winds down, I guess it is only natural to reflect on the year that is has been. In this case, I am more interested in talking about what it wasn’t. 2013 was the last year of my very first ever 5-year plan and the first year to end … Read More
