  • Writer’s Log: Getting the Ball Rolling

    Or in other words, beginning my 2026. We are up and running! I am really proud of the progress I’ve made in the last two weeks. It has not been easy as I have still been recovering from flu fatigue (still coughing and spluttering occasionally), but I have made a…

  • Writer’s Log: Flu Derailment

    Slowly getting back on track. I have been derailed not once but twice since the beginning of December with flu. For those who may not know, there is a nasty variant of flu going around the UK. Most people have had it. A lot of people have had to take…

  • Writer’s Log: Busy as a bee

    Until a week of resting like a sloth. It has simultaneously been a long three weeks and a short three weeks. The first two weeks post my last writing log flew by in a blink because I packed a lot into the hours and minutes. Let’s begin with writing. I…

  • Writer’s Log: Celebrating Small Wins

    Because sometimes small wins are the only wins. I finally managed to get a story finished! It has been months since I managed to write a story to completion. I’m thrilled that I have finally managed to achieve it! I’ve also managed over the past month to write four poems,…

  • Writer’s Log: Making Progress

    I am a tortoise. But that is OK. It feels bizarre that it was only two weeks ago that I was writing about problems with my muse. I am happy to report that I am making progress once more with my writing. Indeed, I have started making better progress on…

  • Writer’s Log: Muse Issues

    When inspiration is foggy and made worse with outside disruptive commentary. A couple of weeks back, I noted the difficulty in getting back into the writing habit after time away caused by other work commitments. It can feel like a slog, a chore, deeply uncomfortable. It is even more uncomfortable…

  • Writer’s Log: Like a snail…

    One slow step at a time. A writer writes. Or so the saying goes. I am sure there are countless examples of many writers who do another job to keep the bills paid, and who continue writing in every spare minute they manage to find in a day. I am…

  • Writer’s Log: The lament of the chronically ill

    When your body simply does not co-operate with your plans. Two weeks ago, I reset my plans. The bid work was over and I was back to my transformation work, back to the coaching and training in my own business, and back to slowly getting my writing groove up and…

  • Writer’s Log: How many times can you reset?

    As many times as it takes. My main focus for writing in August has been my Harry Potter story ‘Another Dimension’ and it is with regret that I admit defeat on getting it published by the end of August. The biggest obstacle has been my full time contract which has…

  • Writer’s Log: Delays, delays, delays

    Sometimes life is a series of obstacles. Anyone involved in bid work will know that there is often a mountain of work to do to respond to a procurement tender in a very short window of time. It is exhausting, intense, and stressful. It is the type of work I…
