Hello everyone!

I realise that I missed a post last Monday and I apologise for that.

There have been a few changes around here, mostly in my sleep pattern. I think I put up on my twitter that it had thrown me off a bit, but I was still carrying on with the novella. Well, turns out that jet lag can be a bit of a pain in the bum and I've been on the verge of a migraine for most of the last week because of blood sugar levels. There have been a few other issues with family and with housing recently too, but I don't really want to get into that here. I think that is in hand now. Hopefully.

So where am I after attempting to start waking up eight hour early and doing the day shift mentality instead of the night shift?

Well, things are finally settling down and I can get my head around the novella again. I had got some stuff sorted in the meantime with it, but I think I'm going to have to go back and re-write parts of it. I think there'll be a prison break with magic, instead of a tentative alliance with evil satyrs. But I'll hopefully soon get back into the swing of my fantasy novella. The elf barbarian and wizard apprentice will be back to storming an ancient elvish necropolis soon.

But in other news, a kickstarter I backed last summer is now being shipped, so I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of Jungle Tomb of the Mummy Bride to arrive from America. I know some copies have already arrived. It should be excellent. And I managed to get both the 5e and the DCC version, so I'm quite excited.

Also, something else I'm quite excited about is the another kickstarter finished and soon, I should get my copy of Rackham Vale: Paint Box Edition. It does look lovely and I know the company that made it has worked hard on it.

If folks would be interested, I could do some things involving these and other roleplay game books to, and possibly some wargames too, just to mix things up a bit. But primarily, this is a writing blog. But on another note as well, I have been talking with a friend about us starting up a wargaming and roleplaying Youtube channel. We just haven't gotten our acts together with that yet.

Anyway, that's about it for this week. Hopefully I'll have more writing related stuff for everyone next week.

See you all soon!

 Hello everyone,

Just a quick update. I've wanted to keep this up as a regular thing and this week, I'm finding it hard to think of much to say, I'm afraid.

Something happened during the week that shook me up a little and I feel almost embarrassed that it shocked me and threw me so badly as it isn't necessarily life changing, but it had made be have flashbacks to a time when something similar happened and I was almost made homeless. But I relly do doubt that it'll get that bad. But much of my writing this last week has taken a back seat and I'm having a little difficulty starting up the routine again.

Anyway, I am still trucking through my copy of the WFRP 4th Edition source book: Altdorf, The Crown of the Empire.

I have also decided to revisit a book I finished about 20 years ago when I was in my teens called Puckoon by Spike Milligan. Its hilarious! Its one of the few books that I think everyone should read.

Beyond that, I'm also still reading one of Christopher Fowler's Bryant and May novels called The Lonely Hour. Its going slowly but I'm progressing alright.

I have also backed a few Kickstarters, all of which are supplements for RPGs. I have a couple on order for Dungeon Crawl Classics and a couple for Old School Essentials. Both are fun games and I love the Dolmenwood setting for Old School Essentials.

One of the books is for an Old School Essentials setting book based around the artwork of Arthur Rackham which is wonderful. The Kickstarter for which you can visit here.
