The Joy of Exercising…
When I was growing up, exercise was something everyone else did. As I grew older, I did appreciate the need to stretch my muscles, and I even tried it a few times. It was so boring, I didn’t keep it up. Even when I gained a few pounds, I couldn’t summon much enthusiasm. I had…

“What have you done lately, to make you feel proud…?”
Identify Your Target Audience… We are often told we have to do this, being the one sure way of actually ‘making it’ or getting to that most cherished of places, the successful author. I have lost track of how many articles and blog posts I have read since we started. We are constantly told that…

Time to Step Back…
I took myself to one side and had a serious talk with myself, and after much soul searching, I realised the current state of my head was caused by cramming too many things inside it, most of them completely unreasonable and beyond my control. It was time to take a long hard look at my…

The Ten-Minute Rule…
I have been blogging now for nearly five years, and the amount of data I have had to learn has simply astounded me. In the beginning, I was incredible stubborn, still can be should the need arise.

Throwback Thursday: Am I Losing My Edge?
I have begun to realise something monumental, lately. Something that could be significant, although I’m not sure how. Not sure how to explain it either, but I’ll try. For quite a while now, I have been unable to do much of anything after 9pm. The brain just refuses, and I put it down to tiredness…

#Throwback Thursday. Second Tries, or How to make the right decisions the first time?

I made a video!
As a practice run before I start creating videos for our books, I decided to shoot some footage of the Southsea hovercraft when I went there last week. There is something incredibly exciting about watching this huge craft as it powers along; almost concealed at times by the cloud of spray it creates. I am…

If at First you don’t Succeed!
Last week, I finally managed to make sense of the Mailchimp website. Something I have been trying to do, on and off, for the best part of two years. We are told it is important to build a mailing list, but up to now, my brain had resolutely refused to grasp the finer points.…

Is This The End of the Road?
I have been having an increasingly difficult time coming up with writing ideas for blog posts and current works in progress, and I’m not happy about it. This has never been a problem before, and could be due to an assortment of things, but I am becoming more and more concerned, for it seems to…

A Following Wind…
I recently wrote a very smug post about how clever productive I think I am being, but have since come to realise that although I have learnt so much more than I ever thought I could, along comes another truckload of stuff that I would love to be able to do. So much more…
