Two Unsung Heroes Gone
Before I begin, I want to talk briefly about the content I used on my previous article. I’d like to apologise to anybody who may have been put off by what I wrote regarding the censorship which Roald Dahl’s books have recently faced. However, when it comes to reviews, whether positive or negative, I always…

Roald Dahl Under Attack From Beyond The Grave
Yesterday, I came across an article in The Guardian. It seems that the publishing company known as Puffin Books is altering the language used in the many books by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl is one of those authors whose works I grew up with. I was always intrigued by the themes he covered; the wide…

On the 12th Day Of Christmas, My True Love Sent To Me… – a Reminder of When 'Twas the Season
So apparently, today’s the 12th day of Christmas. I say apparently because I never fully believed that there were actually twelve days of Christmas, aside from Christmases Eve and Day and Boxing Day (December 24th, 25th and 26th).

The Northern London(?)
Hello, once again. There were other topics I intended to discuss for this month. However, since I’ve recently returned from a short vacation in what I would roughly say is my second favourite location in England behind Skegness, those topics will be brought up another time. Note that I’m not limiting it down to a…

The Graduation That Occurred Better Late Than Never
Hello everybody. I thought I’d share an important update with you. Before I do so, those who read my previous blog posts will know that I studied a master’s course in Creative Writing. My graduation ceremony would’ve taken place on January 2021. But thanks to you-know-what, that didn’t happen. But last month, one of…

The Writer's Guild Of Great Britain
As this is a monthly activity, the intention was to write a blog post sooner, but very important business stepped in, hence the delay. However, I would like to introduce to any fellow writers reading this, a Guild which I recently joined that may come in useful. The organisation I’m referring to is the Writer’s…
