Always Backup

01-11-2015:

A few years ago, which is actually not as small a number as I would like given my current age, I tried to write my first book. It was a rambling mess that had a plot which would have made Chaos Theory look structured and sane. It was, after all, a first attempt at writing. Not that this is a good excuse but this is my site so that's the excuse I am sticking with.

Con Life

08-08-2015:

Today was the first day of Dublin Comic Con 2015 and my first time going to a convention full stop as a person selling stuff to the convention population. I wasn't really sure what to expect if I am being honest. I've been to cons in the past, game ones mainly, and last year attended Dublin Comic Con. So I at least knew about the costumes and the people with personalities buzzing with energy.

The Con Approaches

03-08-2015:

As the bank holiday weekend draws to a close it signals the last weekend before Dublin Comic Con 2015 kicks off. A convention that I am going to be attending not just as a spectator but as a stall runner.

A Tiny Drop Of Sadness

12-08-2014:

At some point in their life everyone will die. When most celebrities die the news has registered with me in a very empathic, normal, way . I would have enjoyed listening to their music or watching the movies and shows they were in. I would feel sad that their life was cut short, or glad to learn they passed away peacefully at a ripe old age, and wonder what their poor family would go through in the days and weeks that followed their departure into the Great Unknown.

When I wrote 'Filthy Henry: The Fairy Detective' I never figured one day I would be getting interviewed about it.

A Note To Sixteen Year Old Me

20-12-2014:

Man alive it is worse I am getting at keeping content on this not better, but sure such is life. Many of the times that I have commented on the lack of entries I am going through a really busy period. Then when I get a bit of time I forget all the bits and bobs that I wanted to rant about in the first place. What also seems to be happening is that when I am in the middle of doing some re-writes of my book I drop off from the Internet in general. Probably has some sort of crazy connection with wanting to focus on only one writing task at a time.

Draft Three Done

12-01-2015:

At the moment I am currently reading Terry Pratchett's non-fiction collection 'A Slip of the Keyboard'. It is one of those books that is fascinating reading. A lot of it are collections of his thoughts on various topics, all revolving around writing. Others are reproductinos of his speeches that he gave over the years. Such as the one he gave at a convention in the 2002 stating that he was no longer going to be working on two books at the same time.
