On Tuesday evening, I gave a talk about my book “Unleash Your Dreams” to Whittlesey WI (Women’s Institute). After a Q&A, we had coffee and cakes together, and I got a chance to chat with the ladies. I sold a few copies of my book, including one that was the main raffle prize. I think […]

Becoming a Writer
I recently received an email in connection with a post I made on the TUT Writer’s Group on Facebook. The writer asked me about how to become a writer. The following is the basis of my reply. When it comes to writing, I would like to know where your writer’s block lies, so that I […]
Creativity
Earlier today, I was just watching a program on daytime TV called The Wright Stuff (Channel 5, UK), which airs between 9:15 and 11:10, Monday to Friday.

Commitment
I’ve just come back from Communion at church. There were two lessons, the first about Ananias and Saphira, and the second about the Widow’s Mite.

First of all, it appears that the so-called superposition of states doesn’t just apply to the microscopic and atomic levels, but also at the macroscopic levels we see and experience every day. This is the […]
“Thinging” vs. Humanising
While I was working on my second book a couple of days ago, I was reminded of a phenomenon that seems to be becoming more and more prevalent these days. I’m talking about the habit of treating people as things rather than as human beings. You see this especially on the news, where people are lumped […]
