I’ve never been interested in minimalism. Couldn’t see the point. But I just spent over two hours deleting less than one-third of the emails that I don’t even want to read. That was preceded by quite a significant amount of time checking Facebook notifications from groups that, while I joined […]
As regular readers of my blog will know, I’m going through a bit of a reinvention phase when it comes to the non-fictional aspects of my writing. As part of that process, I decided that a new logo – or really, getting a logo, was required. As you will see […]
We had a massive storm here the other day and ended up with a blackout. It was getting dark at the time anyway – but now visibility inside the house was an issue in terms of typing on a computer without a backlit keyboard or reading. Not knowing how long […]
