Who speaks for me? The narrator posing as me, or me posing as the narrator? When it comes to the point of view for the character, for the readers, what voice do you give to your story? Do you do 1st person or 3rd person? It can’t be 2nd person unless you’re reading an instructionContinue reading "Point of view and voice"
Another day, another…
My time being a full time author is coming to an end. Last year, I had a certain situation at work that put me on medical leave with insurance. That insurance has now expired, but I don't think the location based issues have been fixed. The hard choice of returning to these problems while keepingContinue reading "Another day, another…"
Life moves pretty fast…
Steve Miller was right when he wrote the lyrics - Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'; into the future.It seems like only yesterday when I applied for a 10 week residency at Queensland Writers Centre (https://queenslandwriters.org.au), and as of next week, will be my last in their offices full time. I have to say, I'mContinue reading "Life moves pretty fast…"
July – Such a month
It's been a month or more since posting here, but so much has happened in July, I'm not sure where to start. Let's start at the release.

Driving electric
Ok, so it's taken me a few weeks to write this post, with other things going on in my life and mental health. March 12st, my wife and I joined up with an electric vehicle group heading to the Noosa EV Expo (https://www.noosaevexpo.com.au/), thinking this was going to be just a tag along to theContinue reading "Driving electric"

That’s right!! OurContinue reading "A speedy update"
And so it begins
I'm excited to finally be nearing completion of this book, and even more excited to have something published.
Title under wraps
I can't believe it was April when I last posted. I'll make this a short post today as I have more writing to get through. So much has happened in that time (globally) and all I've been hard at my day job and writing, both from the same computer, day in and day out. IContinue reading "Title under wraps"
Co-Author and progress
So it’s been a few weeks since my last posting and I thinking of removing the “I’ll post every Friday" from the home page, because I can’t just flood your inbox with random stuff every week. I’d like to just mention the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13’s successful failure for the last week; their attempt inContinue reading "Co-Author and progress"
