Thursday 1 December 2011, sometime before 6.00am… It’s not November anymore. So why am I still getting out of bed at such an unearthly hour and firing up the laptop? I’ve already had a whole month of this… Yep – I signed up once again for that exercise in complete madness that is National Novel [...]

“Never meet your heroes…”
One of the funny things about being a music journalist is the completely opposite ways the people in your life view your job.

My Mad Novel-writing Experiment
April has been a mental month. But it’s over now – and with it, so is my first attempt at writing a novel. It kind of helps to know your strengths. However, knowing them too well can sometimes be a pain in the butt. And so it’s been with me where writing is concerned. Doing [...]
