So, it’s another one of these posts again, is it? A catch-up/ where-have-I-been type posts? You betcha! However, there will be some creative stuff in the end section, I promise. So, let’s get to it and start filling in the blanks as to what’s been going on with me for since June 2023.
Read more "Hasn’t It Been a While?"JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK SOMETHING IS GOOD, THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT OBJECTIVELY GOOD.
As I said in March, this goes for any kind of criticism or opinion, but it was another post for another time – and that time is now.
Read more "Don’t be an Artshole: How to discuss art without being an arse about it"Nostalgia is a wonderfully warm, fuzzy feeling: It might be brought on by the jingle of a long-forgotten advert or sitting down to play the games we used to love as a child. The sense of comfort, familiarity, and sometimes “feeling like a kid again” is hard to match. Today’s post wont focus on the incessant weaponization/ monetisation of our nostalgia, but the more human angle of what our nostalgia means to us. And, more specifically, the problem with getting too attached to those warm fuzzies.
Read more "Nostalgia Goggles"Hello, dear readers. I am back, and this time I have one of those odd posts where I write about writing; in this case, about the benefits of collaboration when it comes to your writing!

Read more "Joined-up Writing: The benefits of creating collaboratively"I never enjoyed picking up a hardback of a big event, then feeling like I was missing half the story because 6 other comics intersected with it. Unfortunately, it seems that’s where the MCU is headed.
Read more "Some Marvel-ous Missteps"Good afternoon, dear readers! Well, the first month of 2020 is almost over huh? It’s been 26 days and my vision still hasn’t become perfect, so I’m about ready to pack this whole thing in and start 2021. This attitude has nothing to do with two movies I finally got round to watching this week: […]
Read more "Infinity mirrors"This time of year is unfortunately busy for me – it’s deadline month (and a bit)! Starting with a short radio play due today, which I’ve been working on for the last few weeks (not quite “The Archers” fare) I’ve also got a chunky essay, two portfolios and a workshop diary due between now and […]
Read more "Deadlines and fake lions"So, a whole lot of life happened. I changed jobs. I founded a film review site with a friend. I started university. The usual stuff that makes one forget they really did mean to blog more regularly. My University course is Creative Writing – so from now on, the (sporadic) blog posts will likely be […]
Read more "Blog resurrection"Well, after such a sensational title, I should probably explain what I mean by “creatively insane” shouldn’t I?
