As you’d expect, I don’t really have time while I’m at the festival to put up a proper blog post, so I thought I’d share a couple of my highlights in photographic format. I will try and put the experience into words at some point next week. I’m having an amazing time. I hope you […]
Crime Writing Festival
Image from Harrogate crime site. Tomorrow I am heading to Harrogate for the Theakstons Crime Writing Festival. I booked it about two months in advance and at the time it seemed an age to wait, and now it’s here and I go tomorrow. It’s four days spent thinking about nothing but crime writing, ok, there […]
Hospital Appointment and The Spoon Theory
Last Thursday I had an appointment with a consultant rheumatologist. It was a good appointment in so far as she spent time with me, listened to me and explained things to me. She was only allotted 30 minutes for the appointment but I came out after about 45-50 minutes. I’m a bit more defective than […]
How I Feel about Blogging
Following on from Fridays blog post where I discussed the issues of a blog platform and personal interaction, I wanted to write about how I personally feel about blogging. Making Fridays post has helped me with it somewhat. It made me take a step back and have a good look at what I have here […]
A Me Update
So it’s only a matter of days since I boldly announce I’m going to blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and if you’re really lucky, sometimes on a Saturday. And how do I feel today? Too tired to make a considered blog post. This blog post is far from considered and is being typed up […]
Writer Platform or People Interacting?
Who are we aiming our blog posts at? I read a lot of writers blogs particularly since I decided to start writing my own stuff and taking it seriously. There are some great blogs out there, full of resources and information, all of which can be sucked into my head and hopefully retained somewhere useful […]
Review – Pariah by David Jackson
Pariah Blurb It’s a bad enough day for NYPD detective Callum Doyle when his cop partner is murdered. It’s about to get a hell of a lot worse …When the dead man’s replacement is also brutally killed, suspicion falls on Doyle himself. Then he receives an anonymous message. This is just the beginning, it says. […]
The First Draft
So on Saturday I did the first read through of the first draft of my crime novel. It was an amazing feeling just seeing it printed out. I could visibly see I had achieved something. What did I find? I found some of it was okay. Some of it needs work. There were plot holes […]
Read Through
The first draft is finally complete! I can’t believe I’ve finished something so massive. I am really pleased with what I have achieved so far, but it doesn’t stop here. Last night I printed out the whole thing and today I am going to sit down and read it through. From beginning to end. I’m going to […]
Blog Schedule
Following on from a previous blog post where I discussed the possibility of setting a blogging schedule, I’ve decided the best thing for the blog and I is to have a running schedule. I’m a slightly disorganised person so if I have deadlines and schedules I’m more likely to make sure things get done. I […]
