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…
-
It is day 2 of November 2021 and consequently day 2 of my pledge to produce a badly written novel of circa 50,000 words by…
-
And so to day 1 of the month that is often referred to as November and my, almost certainly futile, endeavour to successfully navigate the…
-
Happy Halloween everybody! If indeed that is the correct greeting. Although maybe a ‘happy’ Halloween is not a successful Halloween. I wouldn’t know. I’m not…

When last I troubled the blogoshpere, it was at the end of a horrible weekend which saw Little Proclaims briefly hospitalised and the entire Proclaims…

As I write this it is Sunday evening and I’m watching highlights of last week’s Reading Festival on the television. Specifically I am watching Liam…

As I write this, it is Friday morning. I am at home, as has been the case for the last five weeks, because school is…
