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 forContinue reading “Epiphanies Anthology – Short Story Collection”

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 onContinue reading “Pressing on When Change is Inevitable”

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,Continue reading “Beneath the Blossom Tree – Just the Beginning”

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 thatContinue reading “No Post This Month – Kickstarter Still Live”

You can spend a lot of these weeks asContinue reading “Another Year Coming to A Close”

Don’t underestimate the importance your environment has on your art. That isn’t just the place where you create, it’s where you live, where you work, anywhere and everywhere you spend your time is your environment and it has an effect. If your environment is inadequate, it will impact your creativity and it’s crucial that, whereContinue reading “Your Environment is Crucial”

I’m an enormous fan of spoilers. This is something that shocks most everyone that I tell because, well, the very word, spoiler means spoiling something and that’s an entirely pejorative term. A term like spoiled simply can’t be used positively, so why would anyone want something like that? Isn’t the whole point of a storyContinue reading “Is It Worth Rereading Books?”

Every piece of art has its beginning. It may be crude, faint, seemingly insignificant, but a beginning should never be mocked no matter what form it’s in because a beginning is how you eventually get to an ending.
