You may or may not know that I set a lot of goals for myself. In all areas: academic, physical, psychological, etc. — so it will come as no surprise that I also have set myself a lot of goals for my writing, the most obvious of which was to get published at age 21 [...]

What’s the haps (and other words)
February 28, 2012 – 8:36 pm
Further to my excellent news from last week, I have spent my time since then hammering my uni work and am pleased to announce that it is all done to an excellent standard and that I am almost ready to start really polishing off some excellent new content. I’m in the process of tweaking the [...]
Flying colours
February 23, 2012 – 3:47 pm
Well, it cannot be said that I haven’t lived 2012 at light speed. But even I could not have predicted that by the 23rd day of the second month, three months after turning 21, I would have achieved my major goal. The thing I have been dreaming about has finally come to fruition. That’s right: [...]

Vindication in the syndication

February 7, 2012 – 6:48 pm
It goes without saying that January 2012 (and by extension, the ongoing year) was one of the best months of my life. I am at the age which I have promised myself that ‘things will happen‘, and I achieved so much in four weeks that it takes me a few moments to read back through [...]
Peace of Mind (song)
February 6, 2012 – 10:53 pm
An example of the music I make. This one is a nine-minute ambient exploration of my more thoughtful experiences which can only be translated aesthetically into music. There’s a lot more music at my soundcloud. Tweet
Portfolio
February 2, 2012 – 7:30 pm
For the first time, I have moved the list of all my works from my brain to something in reality: if you check the navigation bar you will now find the ‘Portfolio‘ menu: here I will list all of my short stories and poems in chronological order (from newest to oldest) with a link to [...]
