Ramblings

Silence is golden... unless you're talking about toddlers, and then it's usually time to panic ...!
In my case, it's just busy. Since my last post, I have been:

• in hospital
• working full time with an hour drive each way
• parenting
• working on:
  • "An Odd Romance" (now ~10,000 words)
  • the BPG Philosophy, Principals and now Method
  • working on CareerPivot
• writing lyrics/poetry
• looking to find testers for Sparkles (yes, still looking. Costs nothing, could bring you lots of benefits.)
• drawing (will post soon... maybe!)

and catching up with friends and family.

It's been a little hectic. But so worth it. And I am sure that as I bring these projects to completion, that worth will become apparent to many more people. Maybe even you? Have a flick through the site - chances are you'll find something that interests you. And then, shoot me a message, get in touch. Would be delighted to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Along with all my other projects, one thing I really enjoy is watching movies and TV shows. Not maybe the popular ones, and certainly some of the more odd ones. Of particular delight is "making" my oldest child watch older movies. The most recent selection was the 1980 Flash Gordon movie (with a very young Brian Blessed and Timothy Dalton). One of the highlights from this particular movie was quoting parts of the movie, and K1 asking if I really liked it that much (K1 expected it to be far more camp than it is) - and their response when I said no, the songs from the soundtrack by Queen used soundbites from the movie and they were what I was quoting.

It's a really good romp, if you ignore the terrible scripting, 1980 special effects and so on, maybe because it really doesn't take itself too seriously. I believe there was talk of a sequel, but a falling out between director and leading actor ended that.

Oh well. Maybe a remake..?

This is the TBG journal — a place for the working notes that don't fit anywhere else. Research that's still forming. A product decision and the reason behind it. A passage that got cut, and why it was the right call. Less a polished blog than a record of the thinking as it happens.

It's also the source. What gets written here first is what travels out to everywhere else — the newsletter, the socials, wherever the work needs to go. Publish once, here, then let it move.

There's no schedule and no promise of frequency. It'll move when there's something honest to say, and stay quiet when there isn't.
