A new start. New chances. New hopes. New dreams to fulfil. Positivity. Optimism. Let’s Do It! It’s gone at last, that dreadful year that was 2020. Gone, finished, done with. Over. We can begin anew. So, what do you have to look forward to? What’s on your creative, personal, social horizon? For me on the …
Christmas is for the kids. But I love the idea of a new beginning, however random that may be, so the New Year is always special for me. Trauma, trouble, dispute, and the glorious heroics and kindness of millions. This has been a year that will be remembered by most for many reasons. The personal …
That final stage in progress. The title to this post is, of course, a show of blatant optimism, since I have completed my personal final edit, but the publisher’s team, kept locked in his basement, will undoubtedly come back with more.

My desk during editing. If you write by the seat of your pants, you’re a pantster, as opposed to those who write a story from a structured plan; they’re plotters. Both methods have upsides and downsides, and both have devotees, some of whom can be unnecessarily scathing of those in the opposite camp. I’ve been …
Continuing to spread a bit of light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for an explanation. This is the 18th post. Sunshine and warmth have combined to raise the heads of some domesticated bluebells in our back garden. I wondered if those in the forest might be similarly …
The Hut in the Woods. It happens to us all from time to time: something (often, more than one thing) comes along to distract or prevent us from doing our creative work. For many, judging by comments from blog posts, tweets, and on Facebook, that interruption of the creative flow can be physically as well …
For a few years I’ve been posting about word choice here. It seems timely to let you know the sources for the information and ideas I’ve presented. Before I started writing seriously, which preceded mobile phones, personal computers, and even electronic typewriters, I developed an interest in words: a fascination for the huge variety of …
