I want to be a Paperback Writer.
In sooth I know not why I write reviews... I always struggle to find something I feel worthwhile mentioning to others, aside from how much I personally enjoy the subject. Especially when it comes to films; book reviews I find slightly easier. Perhaps it's because I generally struggle to sit through films too. Like our [...]
Wow. Even after hearing so many positive reviews for ‘Before the Coffee Gets Cold’ it still managed to excel my expectations. I absolutely loved it. To the point I am already thinking it could be one of my favourites this year (a bold statement for being only three months in!). I knew when I bought [...]
There's a story that's been on my mind quite a bit recently; since moving to London. It's about a farmer who is having a tough year. His crops die due to the bad weather and his family is miserable. As the story goes, he approaches the Buddha to question his teaching. Why does his faithfulness [...]
Another old note. Isn't it strange how past pieces of writing can transport you back to memories you would otherwise forget? I can remember exactly where and what my thought process was when this idea began to blossom. Even though I don't necessarily feel the same way now, it's nice to have something raw from [...]
On Saturday morning I was sad to discover my camera would no longer turn on. I think it's due to water damage, which occurred just before Christmas. The chances of it working since have been rocky. It's the first camera I bought for myself and the first camera I had for more "professional" uses. I [...]
At the start of this week I had planned to make a lovely post about girls sticking together. After speaking to my girls on Valentine’s Day, I was in a very supportive and loving mood. There really is no better feeling than the encouragement you can gain from people who support you no matter what. [...]
We're oceans apart. Between us waves are breaking, And so is my heart. I wrote a version of this poem in a notebook two years ago, completely forgetting about it until I fell upon the same notebook a few weeks ago. When I saw it I was pleasantly surprised. I realised I could change the [...]
They say start as you mean to go on. So far this year, in this new decade, I have moved into a flat with two good friends, secured a new job, and begun a whole new routine of life and keeping connected with friends in a way that is different from popping down the road [...]
The following is the ending to a fictional story yet to be written. Any similarities to reality is coincidental. Over the brow of the horizon the sun was disappearing, sending piercing rays towards the two men. Jake felt the fabric of his tie, straightening it while his eyes were blinded. Beside him, Charlie turned his [...]
As I was making my way through the 693 pages entailing Herbert's final installation of the David Ash series, I had seriously mixed emotions about reviewing it. When I picked up Ash in the bookshop I did not realise it was part of a series. The spine is completely foiled, which caught my attention, and [...]
