Jeremy Crow is the nom de plume of Jeremy Fink, who has been writing blog entries for almost a decade now. He has had varying degrees of success along the way, several nervous breakdowns, a few “I quit and I’ll never do this again!” moments, and so many get rich quick ideas that you couldn’t … Continue reading A Little Gem from Jeremy (A Guest Post by Jeremy Crow)

It's an old adage but the further I advance in years, the more poignant it becomes. I wouldn't say I envy young people because I had my time and pee'd it up the wall quite nicely (the way you're supposed to) and had the kind of fun that only youths can have. But sometimes I … Continue reading Youth is Wasted on the Young

 I have a bit of a 'thing' about accents. I don't mean to blow my own trumpet (but I'm going to), but I'm a dab-hand at accents. I guess I have a good ear and can pick them up fairly easily; be it American, Australian, Scottish - give me time to practice and I can do … Continue reading ‘Ello Guv’nor!

(No, not that kind of cereal!) How very clever I thought I was in January 2015 when I published my first novel as an e-book. A story that was invented in my teens and finally put down on paper (laptop) by 2004 which then required over ten years of editing; but finally I had done it! … Continue reading Serial Procrastinator

Well, dear readers, if you've tuned in today for a bit of a laugh, you're going to be a tad disappointed. I realise blogs these days are supposed to be market-driven, strategic and written geared to a certain audience. But mine has just become the contents of my mind finally finding an outlet, a desperate … Continue reading Losing My Religion

  Of all the things I could have inherited from my father (and let's be honest, he didn't have terribly many positive attributes to offer), I seem to have been blessed with these two things:-   1) Crippling Apathy: Don't get me wrong, I have been in gainful employment for my entire adult life (and presumably … Continue reading The Mock-Alcoholic

I may have hinted before in an earlier post about my unhealthy relationship with food. First of all, I must stress I am within my body mass index, I exercise regularly and pretty much eat less than 1,750 calories a day (more often than not). But I struggle with it - and every single waking … Continue reading Can’t Talk, Eating…

I'm a voracious reader. I've been reading books every single night before bed for years and years. If you're reading this blog, I expect you might be a voracious reader too. I'm also a writer (that's not the occupation I would write on my passport application form, but for all intents and purposes, I'm a … Continue reading The Book-Loan Phobia

Let's face it, some people in this world are born gifted; be it academically successful, top of their field due to their sporting prowess or just plain capable overall. My husband is like that - capable; turns his hand to anything and usually triumphs (bloody git). But If I'm entirely honest with myself, I'm not … Continue reading Impossibly Inept
