  1. I...I fucking did it...I did it....*collapses after finnishing a chapter* It's just as much of a strain to outline as it is to write, it's still reaching out to the stars and capturing their explosive chemical reactions, compressing celestial bodies and pounding them into words. The outline for Volume three is complete….well, just about. I need one more short chapter to ease the transition from this volume to the next, but yeah. I think the heavy atmospheric pressure from the bad guy might have gotten to me a bit…

    Building a Foundation: 6 Important Elements of Every Story

    I like to think all ideas are good, no matter how simple they sound. But the truth is, a story has to be built on the right foundation, and some story ideas might not have that strong foundation if they don't contain the necessary elements. Before you start writing, here are a few important elements of every character-driven story you need to keep an eye on.

  9. To have and to hold, for better or for worse …

    I spent eighteen years as a professional dog walker, before retiring in the autumn of 2024. During that time, ‘technology’ continued to leap forward in great bounds like a playful golden retriever. However, it made no odds to my daily working life, other than my being able to order a delivered lunchtime pizza from my phone. *

    *(This is mentioned for illustrative purposes only – there was no way I could afford pizza for lunch. And anyway, have you ever eaten pizza in front of several slavering dogs with pleading eyes? That’s one big guilt-trip right there.)

    However, if you count my wee writing hobby as a ‘job’ – a very poorly paid, but fun ‘job’ – then I’d have to say technology in recent years has made a big difference.

    For a start, technology has made me lazy. And for all its time-saving advantages, it has in many ways actually presented more time-related pressures.

    Artificial Intelligence is wonderful, up to a point. I refuse point blank to use it for actually writing the content of this blog (it’s kinda obvious, isn’t it? 😉 ) or my attempts at books. However, what it does give me, is the ability to create wee, amusing cartoons and a programme that highlights over-use of certain words, punctuation errors and the like.

    AI also helps big-time in research. For example, last week I disappeared down a rabbit hole of discovering what would be involved in inheriting a haveli in Rajasthan: what would be the tax implications; what grant funding would be available; the size of inner courtyards – all that sort of malarky. (Stay tuned, folks for my first attempt at a published novel. 😉 )

    However, to a degree, I do miss spending my day in the Reference section of a large city library, poring through books to enhance my knowledge. And perversely, I feel compelled to use all that time saved by cramming more ‘stuff,’ more deadlines into my waking hours. I’m not really one for daytime television.

    And … duh! ‘Technology’ has afforded me the privilege of entertaining you for these past couple of minutes.

    But for every ying, there’s a yang. And that means you’ve just wasted another two minutes of your valuable time in reading this nonsense.

    Never mind, time-saving ‘technology’ will help you balance it all out in the end.

    🙂

  20. Monthly reminder: We all have a book in us, but it takes a special kind of crazy to actually dig through all the procrastination, self-doubt, and "who am I to write this?" to rip that thing out of your soul and put it on paper 😅📚
