I’ve also decided to try and take action on my plans to change direction in life.  Clearly in order to do this, I actually need to do something about it.  So this is my new platform.  My main aim on here is to review books that I read.  Given that I’m an avid reader, I’d like this to become a book club of sorts.  So to all you readers who’ve come here because of something I’ve written about a book or an author you like, please add your comments and start / join a discussion.

The second goal of my site, is to keep a diary of my attempts to write my first novel, and subsequently get it published.  There maybe a few editorials along the way.  Ultimately I’d like to use this site as a note book, to provide me with the inspiration needed to get going.

For the old posts that I’ve migrated from emchi.co.uk, well a lot of them are going in the bin.  I really have written some utter dross in the last ten years and I’d like to have a reasonably fresh start.  I say reasonably, as there’s nothing quite like a notebook with a few used up pages in it, it makes it feel like you’ve achieved something, no matter how small.
