The strange case of the non writer.
It feels strange, really strange. That I could not intend to become a writer, yet here I am, five books in to a journey that I never intended to begin in the first place, and loving every minute of it! How can this be? Strangely enough, it’s all to do with the way that ourContinue reading “The strange case of the non writer.”
I never set out to be a writer!
That is something VERY strange to admit, but it’s true! I never set out to be a writer! Growing up I never once even entertained the thought of being a writer. A Soldier yes. A policeman yes. I even entertained the thought of getting a truck licence. But a writer? “Just who the hell doContinue reading “I never set out to be a writer!”
In the Moment
I was reading a blogpost from a friend the other day. He was talking about growing up in the sixties and listening to the baseball on the radio.

And I thought this would be hard?
I’ve been using WordPress for a while now, even done the occasional blog here, but so far I’ve shied away from actually creating a website here because I thought I it would be a disaster!

Foggy Days
It’s a foggy morning this morning, and I’m out in the open country driving. I’m at work doing my regular job but with the added extra of it being foggy! This morning it’s a regional run for me, Hamilton to Huntly along the banks of the Waikato river I know where I’m meant to beContinue reading “Foggy Days”

Telling stories
One of the earliest memories I have as a kid was the day my Dad got the chance to let me see a Steam Locomotive. I don’t remember all that much about it or what I did, but I remember seeing it. Have you got memories like that? memories where you know you did something,Continue reading “Telling stories”
