Update 2018

My Blog Update for 2018

As you can see I’ve taken a break from blogging due to life and work in general.  However, I am now back on the case with this and I have been keeping busy as well.  So, you should see plenty more being added to this as the weeks and months go by.

Well, what have I been doing? Work

A lot in truth, my IT business has been doing very well which is nice.  I still have to pay the bills sadly and for me writing is an escape.  A bit of light-hearted fun doing something which...

Writing can be hard at times, those of us who do it often have scenes in our minds that we know will be excellent. The hard part is getting it into the story realistically and telling it right.

The other issue I find which is similar to this is a good story that is just missing that final bit of WOW factor.

Both of these are big annoyances for me but I am firm believer in not letting the story go out until it’s strong enough. It is a shame more movie producers didn’t adopt this...

Writing a short story?

How different is writing a short story?

When starting a writing project I never really have a mind-set that this must be 80,000 words plus or any size really. Like most, I just work until it is done then edit up or down as required, usually down, just to keep the pace up and the pages turning.

However, writing short stories was a real eye opener. In the past I had written business books which were simple enough. A fantasy novel was my first work of fiction and like most fantasy books it turne...

Marvel Online Update

Here is my Marvel Online update, the game has been live now for around a week and signs are that it’s a good game with bags of potential. Originally I reviewed it during its pre launch and as expectedit WAS full of issues. Thankfully the support team have worked hard to iron things.

The Look – still 7/10

Originally I gave it a solid 7/10 and I think this is still about right. The artwork on Marvel is pretty good but not difficult. The theme has been captured well a...
