Broken Resolutions

  When I set out this year, I made the resolution to myself that I wouldn't enter any contests. Last night I entered the contest at the Friends of Merrill Foundation. I still feel I am upholding my resolution as I had forgotten about this contest, and had prior to last night no intention of entering.

 My aim is for a top 6 position and the chance to pitch the series to a top Canadian publisher of Sci-Fi, as usual I don't expect to get anywhere.

With the success of the first set of stories, I plan on adding four more stories in the omnibus edition.                                                 Forgestriker -  The hit series   When I started the series, I had no idea Forgestriker would take such a hold at  Barnes & Noble.  I looked at the site and thought  "With most of the market being in higher education establishments, I would have no chance of selling any e-books."  This...

A state of hearing

Or more aptly - a state of non-hearing.    A  short while ago I conjectured was I getting hearing problems through a wax build or was it because I work for many hours in the presence of washing machines and tumble driers in a small space.   I have to inform you as far as I am able to tell I am going deaf, another problem inherited from my mother.  On the down side, there is no point in getting the PS3 I was looking forward to getting at the end of the month :(  On the up side, at least I won't have to listen to the stupid rows of the family next door and the money saved from not getting a PS3 I can put to a new laptop; which I do need.

 A One-Party state Thanks to Comrade Nigel Farage ; the UK is now a one-aprty state like many Communist states. It will be generations before the Conservatives can recover from the damage done by his Reform UK party, by that time it will not be worth saving - congratulations Comrade Farage
