I’ve wanted to be a children’s author for as long as I can remember, and so far I suck at it. I’ve never finished anything novel-sized. All this is going to change! I have never been so focussed on an idea before, and I am already at 35,000 words. When I reach 50,000, I will feel like I am really sticking to something. I just have to make sure I stay focussed on it, and not lose interest.

How I did it: Found some like-minded friends, a bottle of wine, and a bar. And some money. That always helps. I think I've got it all out of my system now, I hope. The last time I was drunk, I didn't want to get too drunk, and that means I'm going off it. Of course, the next rubbish day and I'll be right back out there, looking for answers to all of life's problems at the bottom of a shot glass and wondering why I go throu… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I finally went travelling on my own. Of course, I met up with other people and made new friends once I'd arrived in St. Lucia - friends for life, I hope. I booked in January, spent the next seven months saving up, and off I went! I went on a photography project. I took 2,500 photos of animals and the community. I went to a zulu creche 1 morning a week and fell in love with the 70 odd children there. I h… Read how I did it…

I have finally seen my favourite band live! The best show I have ever seen, and probably the best one I will ever see. Some bands can’t pull it off live… Linkin Park sure can!
It’s happening all around the UK and I figured I’d get in on the action! I told myself I would run three miles, but it’s feeling like a long way. I will start training next week.
