I’m writing a low-fantasy novel and want to share my progress and thoughts as I write it over the next few months. I think it’ll be interesting for other writers to see and for me to look back on.

This is my first time writing a novel.
I forgot to post this but I read ‘The Lathe of heaven’ for the first time a while ago and I enjoyed it. Very interesting, unpredictable book. Dr Haber is a really well written character.

Finished ‘The ocean at the end of the lane’ recently.

It’s the first book I’ve read by Neil Gaiman and I was absolutely enthralled the whole way through. It’s mind blowing how he made a simple lane feel so expansive and rich. Definitely give this a read.

Finished ‘The sailor who fell from grace with the sea’.

This book is great all around. I loved how simplistic and dense the concise setting was. The ending was amazing too. Nothing bad to say about it. I recommend it if you’re looking for a short read.

I finished Great Gatsby for the first time.

This book has the most beautiful prose of any book I have ever read. The story was not really anything special though. Its imagery and language carried it. I can see why it’s a classic but that story wasn’t for me.

I wanted to put a spin on the fairytale genre…

I wrote a dark fantasy short story called ‘Eye of the Fog’ and you can read it on Medium.

It’s been two days since I finished 1984 for the first time.

This book has absolutely blown my mind, probably the best novel of all time.

Highly recommend.

I flipped the concept of ‘fairytales’ upside down.

Eye of the Fog — Short Story
Imagine what it would be like if you turned a fairytale into a bleak, twisted narrative…
