Today, in a fit of pique, I’ve been working on the long overdue edit of The Spires At Midnight. I also have a notepad that’s beginning to fill with proposed endings for a load of other projects that need to get cleared off the tabletop.
When I was working my way out of my depression, way back over a year ago, Ruth had me on her Task Centred Therapy, which (and I’m simplifying things here) involved picking a task and dedicating all your mind to it. Didn’t matter if you finished it or not, purely working on the task was enough.
I have his other website, Cold Head Press (Don’t check it out, there’s no content there at the moment). When I first bought the domain and set up the site it was in the pre-Aurora haze of ‘I have the time to do anything!’ The problem with having all that time is the tendency not to spend it wisely.
I haven’t written anything in ages. Absolutely ages. Which is a shame ‘cos I was really getting into it. Then, as always happens, real life comes hurtling into view.
A while ago mrBen became aware that a number of sites on the shared hosting we had were hacked due to a bad plugin on one of the sites. Nothing major but annoying enough to be a pest. The site maybe down or have theme / plugin issues for the next while as I sort it out.
Righty, here’s part seven. I hope it meets with your approval.

Railman won’t be ready for Monday. Ruthy hasn’t been well and has been in quarantine for most of the day and Aurora isn’t all that well at the moment either.
If it’s tidy enough for early in the week I’ll release it then.
Sorry for the delay.

Words About Whiteinch is getting very real now. It’s odd, but as the first story of mine that’ll actually be in ACTUAL PRINT, I’m getting really really excited…
But the anthology is here on Amazon Uk.
Mwah ha ha ahahahahahahahaha…
*ahem*
Sorry about that.
Now I have to get the next few scenes of Railman out the way and work on other short stories, see if I can get them closer to publish standard. (of course, it’ll keep me away from the outstanding housework…)

Here’s a belated part five of The Railman. It’s been a hectic week or two with much that has got in the way of regular updates. But I’m back on track now.
As usual all comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcome and if you know anyone who might like the story, don’t hesitate to spread the word!

Part Five here guys. Still some scene setting going on. Things are moving in a direction I didn’t expect. let’s hope it pans out. As usual all comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcome.

The first of February’s Railman posts. I’m aware there should have been one on Friday and this should have been it. Oh well.
Feel free to leave a comment, criticism or suggestion.

Two days late? Ahem, no comment.
Oh, and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about how/where it’s going.
- Alistair
A day late but if you don’t tell, I won’t. And part three will be on time. Honest.

In an effort to balance my last doom and gloom post, here’s a list of things I’d like to spend my time on as baby and wife allow.
Here’s a little something I have been working on. There are a few parts of it. I’ll drop them in to the blog over a couple of days. Let me know what you think.
