I’m sitting here writing this on Sunday December 30th, at the exit station of this rollercoaster of a year. Looking back in exhausted bewilderment at the 365 days just gone. Thinking ‘What the f%#k was that?’ For me, 2018 has proved to be a major evolutionary stage. I’m still coming to terms with this transformation… Continue reading 2018: What The F%#k was That??

The Mid-Revise Meltdown
Its 8pm on a Sunday night. I've been in front of my computer since 2pm. I'm revising my short story collection at the moment.
