Just another author’s whimsical thoughts.
The Last Plastic Fork & other Green Epiphanies
As I’ve mentioned briefly in other posts, a short story I wrote for a competition is going to be included in an anthology which you can preorder now on Habitat Press for publication on 26/02! There’s both an eBook and physical edition you can order. Habitat Press have a really positive message behind their stories,…
Year Review – 2025
2025 was my biggest year yet, there’s no doubt about that whatsoever. From the Kickstarter with EverAfterPrint going live and being successful to then holding my very own book in my hands, it’s been such an exciting year for my development as an author. I’m so grateful to have made it to this point in…
Epiphanies Anthology – Short Story Collection
Hi all! A short story of mine that I entered for a competition hosted by the Green Stories Project is going to be included in their Epiphanies Anthology (which is the working title for the collection). The competition was all about a moment of transformation, an epiphany that causes the characters within to change for…
Pressing on When Change is Inevitable
You’re writing away, in the throes of creation. The plan is one document, your project in another, and you’re getting your thoughts onto the page. Maybe it’s taken you months to get to this point, perhaps even years. However long it’s been, at long last, what you’ve been working on is coming to life on…
Beneath the Blossom Tree – Just the Beginning
This is just going to be a quick post to say, very soon, copies of Beneath the Blossom Tree are going to start being sent to backers who helped bring it into reality on Kickstarter, and I’m so excited for people to receive it! However you get your copy, whether that be digitally or physically,…
Project #2 – The Rewrite
For the past few weeks, I have been tackling something enormous: rewriting. It may sound like an easy task; the blocks are already there, so many sentences have already been written, the structure has been created, so what could be so difficult about having to rewrite it? Well, for anyone who doesn’t know, rewriting is…
Projects Galore – The Grand Reworks
Anyone looking at this blog will see that there’s a lot of projects going on. They’re all in various states of completion, as is the way with writing, and some have been close to abandoned as other priorities have arisen. And whilst sometimes projects are left behind and have to remain as unpublished drafts, it…
No Post This Month – Kickstarter Still Live
This is just a quick note to say there will be no post this month. There’s been a lot of things going on and I haven’t had the time to dedicate my focus to a worthwhile post and so it’s better to leave it blank rather than offer something half-hearted. Instead, I’ll just say that…
We’re Going to Kickstarter!
I’ve got some exceptionally exciting news: I’ve been working with the incredible team at EverAfterPrint on a novella and, as of this very moment, it is live on Kickstarter! For those of you who might not know, Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform for creative pursuits. From books to stickers to films to zines and more,…
Retired For Now – Project #3/OFBB
The hard truth about writing is that not every project will see the light of day. It isn’t the most fun conclusion to reach, often you work on something for months, even years, and to know that you might be the only person who ever gets to see it, that can be disheartening. There are…
