I love to write; articles, short stories, poems, book reviews, novels or news reports. It’s great fun to see your own work in print and always a bous if you can get some income from it. In this short note I want to think about some key points that should be included if you wantContinue reading “Things not to miss when writing articles.”

It’s all about the words, don’t worry!
10 Authors who dealt with Rejection. You and I love to write. It’s a special gift and a privelege we have creating story’s, sometimes just for ourselves, for our famils and friends. But we all reach the point when we believe in what we write and we want to see it published – and we’dContinue reading “It’s all about the words, don’t worry!”
Just for You!
We crave certainty. We wish to skip over the waiting, the chaos, and the messy transitions. We get so busy figuring out what’s next that we completely forget to celebrate today. Don’t rush forward. Slowing down is the only way to feel more connected to yourself, and find a sense of peace in where youContinue reading “Just for You!”
Back to writing
Last summer I got Covid again and ended up in ICU in a hospital in Dalyan, Turkey! Funnily enough I am still waiting for my Insurance claim to be processed, 6 months on. As a result my writing just about stopped. Yes I do add some notes into my plans every day, but sitting downContinue reading “Back to writing”
Christmas
I was getting close to quitting any idea of being a writer. I have three books on Amazon but few sales. I was walking on the beach today in Hawana, Oman. I have outline plans for at least 9 more books and so I decided i should keep going. Then when I got home IContinue reading “Christmas”
5. Camels and Goats
It still makes me smile when I see the road sign indicating Beware of Camels! On my way into the city I have to travel along some back roads and a long dual carriageway, all surrounded by open land. The local farmers have various herds of camels that seem to just wander freely around theContinue reading “5. Camels and Goats”
4. End of term looming.
Well we’ve still got three weeks before school finishes for the summer. However the attitude of many of our students seems to be Exams are over so I’m not coming to school anymore. This is made worse by the fact that next week is Eid and so school is closed for the week; then weContinue reading “4. End of term looming.”
3 Flying like lead balloons.
Of course we had to do our test flights. I wanted to go out to the outside balcony overlooking the sports field – actually it is an astro-turf football pitch – but they all complained that it was too hot outside. Back home in England I would be facing the opposite problem with students demandingContinue reading “3 Flying like lead balloons.”
School blog – Intro
So the UK didn’t quite work out how I expected. Coming home? Home is where the heart is, so they say. Clearly my home is no longer Liverpool. I suppose realistically I left that ‘home’ at 19 when I went off to the Polytechnic. A new life, a new world, a new set of people;Continue reading “School blog – Intro”
Chapter 19
A Bridge to Far. Climbing slowly upwards from the Vale of Glam Organ (where lived a girl of some renown) the party followed the old Roaming Road toward the bridge over troubled waters. Offal’s ravine was at its narrowest at this point due to him having a bit of a hangover on the day heContinue reading “Chapter 19”
