Yesterday was Boxing Day, but today is also Boxing Day. Although perhaps there is no such thing as Boxing Day. It depends on where you…

It’s the early hours of the morning as I write this, but having been unceremoniously woken up by Little Proclaims, and realising that I didn’t…

It’s the penultimate day of NaNoWriMo, which I am quite glad about because, as much as I have enjoyed attempting (and largely failing) to write…

Although I have two more days left of this challenge, today was really the last opportunity to have a big push towards the final word…
-
Day 27 and we’re 90% of the way to NaNoWriMo completion. Not that I’ll have a completed novel at the end of this, but I’ve…

Happy Black Friday everyone! Or should I say ‘Happy Last Day Of Black Friday’? One of the many retailers who have been emailing me all…
-
If I’m not mistaken, today is Thanksgiving. Not here in the UK obviously. I was at work as normal today, but I am aware that…
-
After a fairly underwhelming few days of NaNoWriMo-ing, I appear to have roared back into life this evening. While the prospect of being a NaNoWriMo…

23 days in to a 30-day challenge and it can be hard to see the point of it all. When I finally hit day 30,…

There have been a few times this month when I have almost fallen asleep while writing these posts, but tonight I’m even more tired than…

Day 21 NaNoWriMo, and thus we’re 70% of the way there. My word count continues to flounder and not for the first time I find…

I may or may not be slightly inebriated as I wite this. I have been drinking beer, so it would be reasonable to question my…

It’s Friday, which is never a bad thing. I have the weekend ahead of me and I’m very much looking forward to not being at…
-
One of the more recent November phenomenons is the UK’s adoption of Black Friday. It’s quite a strange concept that a country that does not…
-
This is the second time I’ve attempted NaNoWriMo. The last time was in 2014. I didn’t do very well that time. I’m not sure when…
-
When I started doing this challenge I knew it would be pretty tough to maintain the novel-writing bit of it. What I hadn’t anticipated was…
-
Day 15 of NaNoWriMo and this is officially the halfway point. At least it is in terms of days. I’m not even close to the…
-
I’m officially 2 weeks in to my NaNoWriMo/NaBloPoMo adventure. It’s not exactly the halfway point, but it feels like a milestone of sorts. I’m now…

Despite keeping up the pretence, even to myself, that I will make up the defecit caused by my feeble efforts on work days, by fully…

It’s Friday evening and therefore the weekend. I don’t have any half-marathons to run this weekend, though I think it’s fair to say that I’m…

Irrespective of how good my novel is (and it really isn’t), I can’t help but feel that these accompanying posts are a little prosaic in…

Day 10 of this NaNoWriMo/NaBloPoMo journey means I’m a third of the way there chronologically. In terms of NaBloPoMo, I’m ticking all the boxes, but…

Day 9 of my thirty day novel-writing challenge and progress is slow. I’m falling asleep as I write this, which is less than ideal, and…

It turns out running a half-marathon is tiring. I already knew this, because I did run a few in the noughties, and indeed one in…

In a change to the usual format (of this relatively new thing I’ve been doing), I’m posting today’s NaBloPoMo effort before I’ve even had a…

As I stumble to the end of day 6 of this folly, I am sad to report that I have not had the productive Saturday…

It’s the 5th of November and here in the UK it’s the day of the annual pyrotechnical festival known as Guy Fawkes Night. Or Bonfire…

November is but four days old and I continue to persist with my attempts to write an entire novel this month in honour of NaNoWriMo.…

On to day 3 and it has to be said, things are not going as well as could be hoped. I started the week with…
