I’m thinking about combining the 15 years of Personal Training and my love of D&D into some D&D themed workouts…

Who’s in?

It’s Tolkien’s birthday today. At 9pm I will be joining many Tolkien fans with a toast to “The Professor”.

A little anecdote.

I remember being about 7 years old and I used to sit opposite the storeroom cupboard. On it, was a passage from The Hobbit where Bilbo meets Smaug (…)

Last working day of 2024 done. Phew!

Hopefully I can get some writing done over the festive period!

Spoiler Free Review: Galaxy in Flames by Ben Counter.

Well… that was a fast read!

After the slight disappointment at the end of book 2, I was concerned that Galaxy in Flames was going to fall to the same issues.

However, Galaxy in Flames sticks the landing.

Spoiler Free Review: False Gods by Graham McNeill

Book 2 of the Horus Heresy is a confident and exciting sequel to Horus Rising. Whilst the characters feel very similar to book one, there are some notable style changes in the prose, as is natural when we change author.

Horus Rising - Dan

Spoiler-Free review.

Horus Rising is a competent and gentle introduction into the 40k universe. The book introduces a host of intriguing characters. Many characters seem 1-dimensional to begin with but quickly open up with distinct personalities. (…)

I’m shotgunning books at the minute to satiate my current obsession with #Warhammer40k lore whilst also working through #WindandTruth.

Man, oh man, this was a great read! In sure I’ll follow this up with more thoughts when i have time!

Well. I finished The Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb. Whilst I loved her prose I will not be returning to the Farseer Trilogy.

It’s always a shame when a book people rave about doesn’t capture you the same way. But it just wasn’t for me.

I’m actually getting time to write today! It only took me nearly a week of getting life in order to sit down and do it. But I’m here.

I’m 30,000 words in to my Fantasy novel Hellheart and it’s shaping up nicely. I’m taking the time today to firm up the plot and structure and having fun doing it!

Lots of life stuff happening this week!

Glad to be chilling out with the extended polycule tonight to grab £3 wings and karaoke in our Tuesday special we do every couple of months that we have dubbed Wings & Sings 🤣

Seriously though £3 for 10 wings at the NYC Bar and Grill on a Tuesday in Glasgow!

Somebody needs to tell IMDB that I acshuuuullly use their "Watchlist" feature to track the movies I've already seen... So, the daily spam of them telling me that movies are leaving a streaming service is not helpful...

I fully accept this is a me problem 🤣

Hey! I got to 300 followers! Hi friends!

I know it's a tiny following compared to most, but I've been absent from social media for many many years now, so this is a nice surprise!

Stay tuned for more literature talk! I'm probably going to post some writing up too eventually!

Read in Progress: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobbs.

I'm enjoying this book. It does feel formulaic and I have not been wowed by the world building or the magic of the world "the skill".

I like our main character, but the rags to riches story is quite slow paced.

I've read 6 hours of an audiobook today... So, yeah, I guess you could say I'm a good listener...

Looked out the window this morning...

"Hmm, it's raining... But it doesn't look too bad."

Dear reader... It was bad.

Thinking of doing a Twitch Steam of my #writing. Would this appeal to anyone?

It'd be great to interact with fans of Fantasy/Horror and maybe work though some promts together?
