No need to comfort me. I’m not looking for approval, after all, this blog is more for me than anyone else.
Yeah. It’s true. Maybe even a little sad. This blog has never been meant for anyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I love you all — in an inappropriate sexual way — but anyone else reading is just a bonus, a Cherry on the top of the metaphorical Ice Cream Sundae. I write this for me. And I write this for my son.
One day I’m not going to be here any more, and whilst we can all hope that I can preserve my consciousness in some sort of machine, I highly doubt that’s going to be achievable in my lifetime. Which means that this is it. Everything I do, say and touch are thing I’ve left behind as well. But is the most unfiltered look into the things I think/thought about. And I want him to be able to get to know me in a way I could never get to know my own father.
Between worrying about bills getting paid, what examples I’m setting for you and everything else I thought I could tell you about some of the creative mistresses I’m currently sleeping with.
Thought, first things first, I really want to come up with a different metaphor because although it’s tongue-in-cheek I don’t like the implied disrespect towards having a monogamous relationship that it implies. But until I can think of something else, this will have to do.
But anyway. To not overstay my welcome, here they are in all their glory.

Remember how I said I would make something cool out of my explorations of the wonderful ales that are out there? Well, this is what I’ve got so far. Ideas are forming and I should hopefully have something more tangible soon. Well, more tangible than last time I mentioned it.
Early concept stages. Ignore the price, it wont actually cost you 25¢. |
I also want to transition from being a writer to an author. Whatever that really means, I’m honestly not sure. I suppose I’m technically already an author because I’ve written things that have been published and read by around 26,000 people and I suppose that counts for something but just in case it doesn’t I’m looking into self-publishing because… well… why not? And what better place to start than with my multi-part short story. Once it’s finished that is.
