a look back, a step forward

2004 was a long and strange year. I began the year working as a consultant, founded a company somewhere along the way, turned my home life inside out, and ended the year spending Christmas in our flat in London.

I developed plans with my partner this year to get back to writing. It is important for me to affect a return to writing in the not too distant future. I've spent a very little amount of time editing some of my short stories this year, and have started and stopped 3 novels. I've ended the year working on one novel and am currently 5 chapters into the story. Let's hope this one holds out.

A good piece of advice I received from a friend of mine this year is to complete a novel - keep writing until it is finished, and don't look back. I intend to follow that advice. You'll see here if I'm successful or not.

I'm working full time with my company as well - www.phunqube.com. It's been a busy year there. I began with one business partner, and ended with another. We've finally come together and have a great proposition and great clients heading into this year.

I hope to travel a bit more this year - short trips even, city breaks to see what kind of places I'd like to visit for longer periods. All european travel of course.

In any case, watch this space this year!!!
