When people repeat the same thing often enough it can enter the common psyche and be assumed to be true.
A good example might be an urban myth like the lemmings jumping off a cliff. It’s now equally well known (or thought as such) that this was a staged scene in a Walt Disney friendly critters-type [...]

This book is a book of transformation.
We go about our days not giving our thoughts a second thought. This is a real shame as our thoughts fundamentally changes the world around us.
In Part 1 Flavours of Thought, our thoughts processes are [...]

It’s a cliché I know but it’s said there’s a book inside everyone. In my experience, once the first one comes out, a veritable flood ensues and there is no stopping a writer.

I am sure you are familiar with the phrase “thoughts become things”. Well, if you think about it, transferring your thoughts into words on the page has the effect of storing your thoughts on paper, on computer or on the web such that others can pick them up.

So I’ve had an iPad for two weeks and loads of people have asked how I use it and what I’m using it for.
Or if it’s just a bit of a toy?
Well I’ve discovered using this new type of tablet (and watch this space for the clones) ushers in a whole modus operandi.

It’s arrived at last and it was definitely worth the wait. My decision not to buy one of the excellent ereaders like the Kindle or the Cool-er has proved to be right. My e-Writer has arrived in the form of an iPad.
From a creative writer’s perspective, just being able to read on the go is [...]

I’ve just finished reading an excellent book by Cat Bennett called The Confident Creative.
I do remember being quite good at art when I was at school but got thrust down the academic route and now I’m one of those people who’s drawings look like they are done by a 7 year old.
I would dearly [...]
