A year of specifically focusing on my writing is coming to a close. Without going too much into what I have managed to acheive (that will come later after the end of the year), I thought I’d talk about my focus for this final short month of 2025. Consistency is, of course, the major theme.Continue reading “Considering the Focus for December, Plus a Bonus Short Piece”

Seattle 2025: A Virtual Worldcon Experience
Yesterday brought to a close five days of virtually attending the 83rd World Science Fiction Convention – Seattle WorldCon. Last year I had an in-person membership, this year was my second WorldCon and my first virtual membership. The time zone difference was not too bad. I am 19hrs ahead of Seattle, meaning it was feasibleContinue reading “Seattle 2025: A Virtual Worldcon Experience”

Creative Wins
We’re a bit over half way through the year, which means it must surely be time for another check-in. The first three months of the year were busy. While I successfully hit all my writing goals during the first month, I knew that the cadence of LARP weekend, rest weekend, repeat from the beginning ofContinue reading “Creative Wins”
Reflecting on 2024
What a year.In 2024, my main goal was to finish existing big priorities before taking on new ones. This was complicated somewhat by Covid recovery stretching between the initial infection in January though to getting my energy back in June – although according to my resting heartrate record, it was September when that returned toContinue reading “Reflecting on 2024”
Glasgow 2024: A First Time WorldCon Experience
On August the 8th to 12th, I attended the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention. It was my first Worldcon (my first trip out of the country, even) and was attended by over 7000 other people, many in-person and some online. Although I was going with other people, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect andContinue reading “Glasgow 2024: A First Time WorldCon Experience”
A Year of Creativity
The last year has flown past. My lack of updates here has in no way been a reflection of stagnation on the creative front. In fact, I would venture to say I am creatively quite energised. So what have I been up to? Over the last year, I have worked through several projects. I thoughtContinue reading “A Year of Creativity”
Considering the Creative Future
Before I post more snippets of writing, I thought I would spend a moment of introspection. In the past I’ve written about some of the creative things that I am doing now and what I hope to achieve in the near future. Lately, I’ve been thinking about longer-term creative goals. I think part of thatContinue reading “Considering the Creative Future”
A Short Update and a Short Story
Last time I wrote, I mentioned that I had been writing more short stories, both as writing practice and as a way of putting some of the ideas rattling around in my head onto paper.The short below is one I wrote during the end of NaNoWriMo. I let it sit for a while, then didContinue reading “A Short Update and a Short Story”
Projects and Not-Quite-NaNoWriMo
I have not updated here in so long that I had to remind myself where my blog even was. That is fine. Things have been moving creatively and that is what matters. On the writing front, I have been working on three exciting endeavours. The first, was a D&D short. I wanted to make anContinue reading “Projects and Not-Quite-NaNoWriMo”
