My life is weird & I dog sit sometimes. And I firmly believe the outdoors, a dog, a crisp autumn morning and good music (Biffy Clyro) is one of the best combos in the world.
Hope you have fun today too...

I'm really writing again. Wrote 1800 words today of probably the best stuff I've ever produced. It feels good. I'd kind of forgotten the feeling..

Sorry to hear your sad news David. Lost our Fred at a grand age of 13 a few years ago, it's incredible how much they become a part of your life.

Stick with it. Practice is sometimes the only way to learn and get it right.

Writing has not been a priority for most of this year. But relistening to 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by VE Schwab is having a profound affect on me. It's now firmly my favourite book ever and is making me yearn to write again.
Next week I will restart.. #inspiration
