I’ve been really struggling to come up with something to write about for this piece. Because, let’s face it, the world isn’t exactly in a good state right now. And in this tiny little corner of the world, where I throw my thoughts out into the ether that is the internet, that is kind of… Continue reading A struggle to write.

Inside the mind of a guitar nut.
When you get really into something, you can become really anal about it. Like really anal. I’m like that with guitars. Because, when all is said and done, what is a guitar? It’s some bits of wood and metal glued and screwed together. Add some electromagnets, some wiring and a speaker and you have an… Continue reading Inside the mind of a guitar nut.
Musings of a blogger
I have been trying desperately to drum up an idea for a blog all week. Something that will just add a bit of variety to the content on this site. I really haven’t stepped outside of a few key topics on here for a while. I don’t necessarily think that is a bad thing though.… Continue reading Musings of a blogger
Why do we listen to music?
I was taking the time this past week to learn a new song on the guitar, and it got me thinking about the impact music can have on our lives. A lot of that can be impacted from your parents' tastes and what you listen to as you are growing up. My parents were already… Continue reading Why do we listen to music?
I actually did some exercise!
Like most of the nation, I've started on Joe Wicks' P.E classes on YouTube and for the first few days my legs were killing me, I felt like an old man. But I know I needed to start doing something like this. I haven't done any serious exercise since I left secondary school which is… Continue reading I actually did some exercise!
Is there any sense in musicians putting out albums anymore?
Given that my last few pieces have touched on the coronavirus pandemic in some way, I'm determined that this piece will not do so. Unfortunately, the subjects I tend to focus on and write about on this site are all shut down at the moment. The sports season has been put on indefinite hold, politics… Continue reading Is there any sense in musicians putting out albums anymore?
So, was The Rise of Skywalker any good?
I finally saw The Rise of Skywalker this week. And I thought it was good. Not amazing and not terrible. The spectacle of it was very impressive, it was very well shot and well-acted by all involved. As an ending to the Skywalker story/ saga/ whatever you want to call it, I found it very… Continue reading So, was The Rise of Skywalker any good?
The fear of failure.
I usually write about pretty lighthearted topics (apart from when I get on my soapbox and rant about Brexit or the Tories). I have written a couple of more, what you might call substantial, pieces that directly drew from my own experience and opinions. I've written about being an athiest, about what I want to… Continue reading The fear of failure.
Writer’s Block
The eternal struggle for creative or artistic people. You've probably heard of the term 'writer's block'. It refers to a writer's struggle to get the ideas flowing and think of what to write or how to proceed with writing. Some say there is no such thing as writer's block and that you can write about… Continue reading Writer’s Block
What motivates you?
That question is the subject of books, TV shows and everything else in between. And now it's the subject of my 50th blog post. Yep I have written 49 blog posts about everything from why Disney remade The Lion King to the state of British and American politics. I've written personal pieces before but this is… Continue reading What motivates you?
