Greetings ‘kats, I hope you have been behaving, for the Eye is watching. It’s always watching. Let’s kick-start this Muse with some exciting news! The Awakening I was contacted by my publisher the other day. My book is next in line to go through the next stage of editing, and once this is complete we’ll […]
Here we go again! It’s Meerkat Muse time! Of course, do we have anything to celebrate at this time? On a personal note, there was the pleasure(!) of going back to work following covid. I consider myself lucky, for my experience of the virus was mild, and doesn’t appear to have landed me with any […]
Today’s prompt is ‘Write about a challenge you faced and overcame‘. Does going to work and facing the public virtually every day count? No? Fair enough. This is about work though. When I originally left my original bathroom consultant role, I went to work for a large and popular furniture retailer. The nature of sales […]
‘What are five things you are grateful for today?‘ My wife and daughter. They keep me sane. A loving family. An extension of the above, including my parents, brother and extended family. Having a roof over my head. A lot of people don’t. Having a stable job. Again, not everyone has this. The time in […]
The third time around, we are to ‘write about the last time you left your comfort zone‘. Back in the late autumn of 2017 I had a steady job selling bathrooms that I enjoyed, but it cost me a fair bit of money each month in train fare and I ideally needed something closer to […]
Time for a different kind of Muse. Time to reflect upon the year that was 2021. It has been a rollercoaster, as everyone grappled with the fallout from 2020 and the on-going mess caused by the pandemic. For us Brits, we had to contend with Brexit making everything just that little bit more difficult for […]
Welcome to the last Muse before Christmas! Welcome to a very special day! At the time of posting this, I have not yet seen Spider-Man: No Way Home. I’m seeing it on the evening of the 15th, and I am pretty excited to see where Marvel and Sony take their multiverse ideas. I could offer […]
We are into the month of Christmas, but do we feel festive?! Before we cut into the metaphorical turkey, let’s go back to November, which for me is not a Christmas month. Well, I’ll concede that in terms of preparation it is, but in terms of celebration, it isn’t. Harsh, but true. Maybe it’s because […]
Let’s kick this Muse off with a little dash of outrage. Kids I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly harsh here, but when you have two small children (one of which is a baby, and the other is only just walking), do you think it’s wise to leave them in a buggy whilst you go […]
November. Wow. We move into an important month for me, and we creep closer to the end of 2021. The weather has certainly turned for the worse. Let’s kick off this Muse with a creepy, unsettling dream… The Intruder Technically this could have made the previous Muse, except I had this dream on Tuesday night […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
