Back in September, I entered the Fall 2019 Three Cheers And A Tiger contest from Toasted Cheese. Entrants were given 48 hours to write a story based on the prompt: “Write a fantasy or science fiction story under 5000 words that opens with something needlessly dramatic, which becomes actual drama when…” Comedy science-fiction isn’t really in […]

Weeknotes – S03E46 – Where’s the Rest?
Summary: Yikes! My writing week apparently dropped off a cliff after two days… Monday: I got an acceptance for a drabble I submitted recently for an anthology, so I submitted another one to hopefully increase my contribution to three. I also updated my script for the next main podcast episode. Tuesday: I went […]
Weeknotes – S03E45 – A Change Is Better Than A Rest
Summary: No writing at all until Thursday, but then I made up for it with four great writing days in a row. Dedicated writing time away from home is always good for me. Thursday: Big plans for my writing session with Ann. I started out with a couple of reviews, then wrote my GYWO […]

Weeknotes – S03E44 – Percolation is Key
Summary: Mostly a break from podcasting this week and progress on the novella. Still just in the planning stages, though, and some further concerted effort required to really get it off the ground. But all progress is good progress and the idea is definitely percolating. Monday: Amie from the Six Month Novel Programme sent […]
Weeknotes – S03E43 – The Podcast is Live!
Summary: Some good progress on my novella project, but then the rest of the week was eaten by the podcast again. However, now that’s live and on a regular posting schedule, I should have more time (hopefully) to dedicate to other projects. Monday: I planned my day to maximise my writing output, heading out […]
Crime Drabbles
I have four drabbles included in Unravel: A Crime Microfiction Anthology from Black Hare Press. You can buy a copy here.
Weeknotes – S03E42 – Still Lacking Focus
Summary: Still not a huge amount of progress on the writing front, despite some scheduled sessions with other people. I’m really struggling to focus for long periods at the moment. Monday: I watched a film and wrote notes both for a fanfiction challenge and the podcast. I then wrote my fanfiction for the Space […]
