So, we’re into the sixth month of the year, and that means that half of the year has nearly gone. It’s scary how quickly the months are going by, especially when I don’t seem to be getting much closer to achieving my 2018 writing goals. While May didn’t…
On the 14th May 2018, I went to the poetry open mic at the Britannia Inn. This was the first time I had gone to an open mic, so I was excited but a little nervous. The poetry open mic was organised by the Oldbury Writing Group founder,…
Another month has gone, and that means I have completed all of my writing goals for April. Ha, yeah right, I wish that was the case. Instead, another month has flown by, and I’m left wondering what the hell happened. Every month I hope that I will finally…
Another month of 2018 has gone. It looks like I was right; 2018 is going as quick as 2017. And I fear that again, I will fail to achieve my goals. But I keep trying to remind myself that 2018 isn’t over yet, so I must continue to…
When I decided to write a novel, I knew a lot of hard work would be involved. However, I never expected that my novel would take so long to get it to a submission-ready level. I wrote my novel in 2015, and after a two-month break, I started…
On the 27th January 2018, my fellow Oldbury Writing Group members and I took part in the Wolverhampton Literature Festival, where we did a talk on the benefits of joining a writing group. This was the second time we had attended the festival and the second ever Wolverhampton…

I can’t believe that January is already over. It looks like 2018 will go as quickly as 2017 did. However, I hope I will do better with my goals this year. So, how did January go? It went okay, but it could have been a lot better. So,…
Wow, it’s 2018. I can’t believe it. What happened to 2017? I feel like last year was set at warp speed. It was a crazy year, and not entirely successful (see my post ‘Reflection 2017 – My Writing Year’ for full details). But 2017 is now over, and…
Happy New Year! I can’t believe 2017 is already over. It doesn’t seem that long ago that I sat down and wrote my writing goals for 2017, and now the year has finished. So, how did 2017 go? Well, if you’ve read my other posts, especially the monthly…
