It’s Not Really That Bad — Having joined this place on September 29th, October has been my first full month on Medium. Boy has it gone quickly! As of writing this there are 85 readers who have clicked on my name to follow me… whatever that really means. That being said, I’d like to thank every…

Non-Smoker Seeks GSOH — Well, where do I begin? This is the moment when you realize that you have all this space to write about yourself, but actually, nothing interesting or new to say. Then again, that hasn’t stopped me in the past, so… I was born in Australia back when disco music was…

Thinking about relocating my novel — I finished the third (and so far last) draft of my novel in the early part of 2018. Since then I have sent it off a number of times — both directly to publishers and also through agents. As of writing this I have had no success with it. I…

Is this a bridge too far? — As a writer, the recent controversy surrounding the works of Roald Dahl, and the revision of his creativity, has been particularly aggravating for me. I know the world has become a different place from the one in which I was raised several decades ago, but are we so far removed…

But onwards and upwards, we must go — So two hundred people have liked what I have had to say enough to click on the little follow button. That’s very cool — I’m not sure I even know two hundred people. Sure, some of these — maybe even a lot of them — are participating in the whole…
