I kicked off the new year with a writing workshop, and this is what came out of one of the exercises. It’s a short story based on the following image: Please note that the story does have themes of implied suicide, and is (hopefully) pretty spooky. Please take care of yourselves and if those aren’t … More Auld Lang Syne

I’ve always prided myself on being a pretty open book, I’ll talk to anyone about anything, sex, periods, smear tests, mental health, you name it. And so ultimately … More Why I Have Given Up (Talking About) Dating
As the title says, and as I’ve previously said on the blogs I wrote about my Landcon experience (oh yes there was more than one), here for the misadventures and here for the better stuff, Landcon was a bit of a shambles.
