I have spent my whole working life providing for a financially secure retirement. With only eleven months left before I retire I find that there is a possibility that my health will not be good enough to enable me to take advantage of the wealth I have stored up.

Would I have been better spending the money when I was younger doing the things I enjoyed whilst travelling the world? Should I have spent my youth living day to day with no thought for the future?

Unfortunately no one can tell what the future holds in store.

Going through some of my old posts on my blog and came across this one on body image, eating and the struggle to accept I'm not photoshopped in real life :)

It's definitely a problem David. I spent most of younger years trying to buy popularity if I'm honest. My lack of bank balance is an indiction only of a youth spent believing I wasn't good enough as I was. I spent a fortune on the look, the nights out. Now I find - and it could be an ageing thing - that the money is gone, most of the "friends" from the day are gone and I'm sitting here wondering what I did with it all. Being single and an only child without any extended family to speak of, I've found myself focusing on myself for the first time. I look at retirement and think "shit I can't afford to ever do it."
 
Keep writing someone is reading and understanding.

So last weekend I decided to revamp my blog Writing in Shadows. I wanted to add Film and Book Reviews, along with a place to post short stories, feature articles and opinion pieces, as well as highlight my creative journey.

It took way longer than I expected. I'm a bit of technologically challenged. But I finally figured it out with some help from a stranger in the WordPress forums.

Anyway, I've started posting again and today I put up a post in The Creative Journey category about world building. Have a read..

The Moment You Realise All Your Characters Are Nudists..
 
I don't know about other writers, but I've always believed a novel needed to be totally planned out before finger could hit keyboard. The introduction of a "new" character in my novel blew my carefully constructed plan to hell and taught me a valuable lesson.

I Fought the Muse, and the Muse Won now up at Writing in Shadows.
 
Yesterday afternoon I decided the only thing my brain was capable of was watching movies, so I had a bit of a queer movie marathon. Here's my review of Is It Just Me, a gay romantic comedy that was released in 2010.

Is It Just Me Review - Writing in Shadows
 
Just in case you were wondering if anyone is finding your blog entries amongst Sunbuns' spamming.
 
What better way to learn than by the mistakes of others. In the latest blog post at Writing in Shadows I share the mistakes I made when I first began writing The Temple of Sarantine, Darkened North Book 1 and the strategies I'm implementing from screenwriting days to make sure my next novel Bottom of the Barrel doesn't follow in Darkened North's rushed footsteps.
