Writing Retreat at Loch Lomond ✍️✨

From Tuesday afternoon through to Friday morning, I joined twelve other writers for a writing retreat on the shores of Loch Lomond. I arrived the day before, which gave me a head start and an extra day of writing before the official sessions began. The loch was beautiful, even in December. Cold, yes, but atmospheric in a way that made the whole experience feel special. A storm swept in from Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing wild

My 2023 Projects

My 2023 projects were pretty simple to pick. All Rift Bloodlines books, and compiling Ernie. The question is, will I have enough time to finish the books? Rift Bloodlines Book 1 – Buried by Earth Book 1 of the Rift Bloodlines series is the one that is the furthest along of of the first three in the series. Right now I am finishing up the final proof before I send it to my copy editor.

My Writing in Numbers 2022

In 2021 I started keeping track of how much time I spent writing, and how many words I got. This really helped when it felt like I wasn’t making progress on anything. It showed that I am moving forward. In 2022 I continued with this process and surprisingly the numbers were similar to last year. So lets get into my Writing in Numbers 2022. Books Published I’d known going into 2022 that I was probably

What I watched, read and played in 2022

Below I’m going to breakdown of what I watched, read and played in 2022. I’ve never tracked anything except what I’ve read in the past, but when I picked Balance as my word of the year, I wanted to get a visual of how much time I spent having fun, and doing things unrelated to writing. The results are fascinating, and it’s going to be interesting to see how it compares to 2023. Books Read

Word of 2022 and picking my 2023 word of the year

In 2022 I set a word of the year – BALENCE. It was all about finding a better split between writing and fun and work. This kind of balance is always going to take work as our lives and needs changed, but by making it my word of the year, I was able to change my routine until I found something worked for me. That’s not to say it would work for everyone, but I

What’s New? My Writing Life Update.

Hello Guys and Gals, It’s been a busy year already, and I’ve been hard at work writing, editing, and spinning ideas. So many idea’s. There just is not enough time in the day to complete everything I want. Ernie Smith and the Seven Deadly Sins As Ernie’s first story – Finding Death’s Scythe – gets close to release on Amazon, I have been knocking the rest of the stories into shape. Remember if you join

2020 Goals in review

As we head into 2021 I am looking back at last year’s goals, what went well, what didn’t. One of the repeating themes I am seeing is I tried to bite off too many varied project worlds. All in all it was a good first year back to writing, and one that has kept me writing into 2021 so I must be doing something right. In 2020 I set 5 writing goals, and the rest

Winning at Writing – Writing Goals for 2020

I couldn’t tell you why I stopped writing the first time, I don’t remember what changed anymore, I had self-published 3 short stories. I remember loving writing. Then it was 2017 and it had been years since I had written anything. I was in Australia with work, it was amazing, and I was loving it. The urge to get back to writing hit hard, for three months I wrote franticly, and I edited. I loved
