Hospital trips, collaborating on keywords and rifling out content – not to mention applying for some additional gigs – have been the main themes this week as I completed my first 4-weekly month as a full-time freelancer! However forefront of my mind this morning is “should I merge this blog with my Tumblr…

Blogging with Word
I’m currently writing a blog post for www.devicemag.com – and the subject is using Word 2010 as a blog editor. While it doesn’t offer the rich media options you might find with Scribefire it is a great use for this popular application. Here’s how the post begins… I discovered that it is possible…
High-Value Update
This is quite an exciting day – the opportunity to earn my “bill money” in the space of 5 articles rather than the usual 8! As I write this, a virtual installation of Windows XP is taking place (onto which a security application I’m testing will be installed) while simoultaneously a second security-related…
What I’ve Learned This Week
For some reason I expected the first week of freelancing to be pretty uneventful. After all, the idea for the first couple of months is to multiply four-fold the amount of freelancing I was doing already. I had also managed to secure a new position writing for www.devicemag.com (a great technical resource) so…
The Game Changes!
So, here we are on the brink of a new career, and really a new way of living, not to mention working. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into daily writing, as well as spreading my wings with the other projects, which regular readers will be aware of. So once the leaving…

Out in the Open!
So, those of you that follow me on Twitter or Facebook will now know that all of the obscure and cryptic comments over the past few weeks have been leading up to the announcement that I have taken the big step of quitting my day job in order to write full time. This…
Big Things
So, as the time approaches, various “big things” are in motion. Firstly, a redesign of Kasterborous.com proceeds apace, hopefully completing this weekend once a few minor things are ironed out. Secondly, the end of Quintessential Comedy; I’ve decided to end this particular blog and integrate any particularly interesting comedy related material here. Third,…
The Big Plan
Bit early to go into detail about this, however, in a rare Doctor Who-free post, I’m going to explain how I intend to develop as a writer over the next 12 months. With the impending death of Quintessential Comedy (relevant posts will end up here) I intend to concentrate on the following: Brighthub…
