I had an idea for a story while in the shower this morning, set in a noot too distant future where people aren’t capable of having emotions anymore. In order to experience an emotion you would have to take a pill/drink that imbued you with that emotion. Some emotions would be fairly common happiness for [...]
The new BBC adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story “Sherlock” is nothing short of amazing. If you’ve not seen it what they have done is taken inspiration from the original Arthur Connan Doyle stories and created three crimes for a 21st century Sherlock to solve. I won’t go into any more detail as I don’t [...]
Having messed around with I write like I got to thinking that I need to actually get down to doing some writing. I’m not going to get much of a chance to write in the next couple of weeks as I’m going to be going on holiday to China and I’m not taking a computer [...]
I did some playing around with a tool called I write like today. Its a pretty neat little web application that will compare any body of text you give it to a slew of famous authors and tell you who your writing is most like. I entered in a bunch of chapters from my 2009 [...]
I had this dream about the time of the general election it was of a society of woodland people, possibly elves possibly not. The people were in the process of democratically electing a leader, there were two candidates each of whom had their say on a podium facing the people in front of an enormous [...]
I had an idea today about an alternate future where fanboyism has gone further and has superseded religion. Basically people have given up on putting their faith in insubstantial supernatural being and instead invest their faith in brands.

The script can be for a TV show, a play, a movie, a comic, whatever… [...]
I’m sure this has been done before but I think that this would make a good kids book. A character who can travel into any book they read be it factual or fiction. They read a travel guide, they go to that country, they read a novel they are transported into that world. I guess [...]
Today has been the first chance I’ve had to actually go at it, up until now I’ve either not felt up to it or have had some social engagement or other that has stopped me from getting any writing done. As it stands I’m at 2,328 Words at the moment, up from 640 which has [...]
So maybe having 3 pots of tea in Tchai Ovna last night at half 8 was a mistake… My intention last night was to meet up with some folk after work for some tea, then go home and do nano for a couple of hours. What ended up happening was I went to the post [...]
