The adventure continues...

Life’s a funny ol’ thing. It’s been more than a few weeks now since I last wrote a blog.

A Lesson in Commas

Regular readers of my website will be aware that I have something of a love-hate relationship with Raymond E. Feist.

Visualising

When consider myself as as writer I often think that description is perhaps my weakest area - especially when it comes to describing things that naturally don't exist in the real world.

Planning action sequences

Something I don't always understand when reading a book with any amount of action in it, or perhaps even a battle or a fight, is how some authors don't seem to have thought through exactly what it is that's happening in their fictional world.

Taking Criticism

Criticism – it’s a funny ol’ thing.

As a writer, by definition, you have to be thick skinned. The more I write, and the more I meet people of different attitudes and opinions, the thicker skin I seem to be developing.
