Contributed Post Before we get into this, let me be honest. I love being a freelancer and, if I were asked, I probably would recommend it as a potential career choice. It gives you a lot of freedom to live your life how you want to. Rather than your life revolving around work, your job simply becomes a side note on the page. It’s still important and explains a lot about who you are. But it doesn’t define who you are. You’ll be able to choose how often you work and to an extent, how much money you make. Still,…

Posted inContributed Posts
Contributed Post People have long joked that the married life is a stress-filled one. Constant arguments, the obligation to compromise, and many more factors are a reason for this.

THIS is how you do a movie trailer – Arrival (2016)

Posted inFilms, Geek Stuff, Videos
How wonderful to not know something exists, stumble across a trailer for that thing you didn't know existed, and be instantly blown away at a mere minute of mind-blowing speculative fiction goodness.

How I almost forgot why I write (and how I got back on track)

Posted inRandom Musings, Writing
It's easy to lose sight of why you write. For about two years now, I've worked full-time as a freelance writer and social media marketer, penning corporate blogs, articles for SEO specialists, the occasional news story, website copy, and whatever else people will pay me to write. I've done freelance work on the side for many years, but that switch in autumn 2014 was a big plunge into icy cold water. It hasn't always been easy. The money mostly sucks, the workload is hot and cold, the guilt can be crushing, people often don't want to pay you or they…
