Gone in a Flash
Telling a short story can be fun, but what about when your story needs to be really short? I enjoy short stories. There's something exciting about a piece of writing that manages to convey a moment in time, like a small scene that could potentially be a part of a bigger story or a novel.… Continue reading Gone in a Flash
Right place, write time
My blogs are intermittent, that's true. Sadly, my day to day writing has been too, until lockdown.
Learning to be OK
If there's one thing that this period of time has taught us is that we can achieve most things we put our mind to...but sometimes we need to reach out for help.

I've spent a week… Continue reading Happy New Year?
Purposeful Purpose?
What's our purpose? Do we have one? Does it really matter? There's been various articles and blogs I've seen recently that have focused on 'finding your purpose', but what does it all mean and why are we worrying about it all? I can't figure it out and I'm not laying claim to knowing the answer… Continue reading Purposeful Purpose?
Just Talk
It can be one of the hardest things in the world to talk to others, especially in this age of screen staring, but talking is one of the most basic forms of communication that we can't afford to lose. It's been well documented on my blogs many times about my journey through the world of… Continue reading Just Talk
