No, not me! I think I took a lot longerHow I Became A Giant Squid in 40 Days is published by lensmaster, The_Homeopath.This is the kind of lens that makes good reading for new squids and old alike. It contains tips on how to create lenses of quality and it provides a source of inspiration for whoever wants to go for Giant Squid.I only wish that lenses like these do better on Squidoo; there is a wealth of information in these hidden gems that cannot be found anywhere else.These lenses are usually written from the heart.Giving Squids a Helping Hand - Don't forget to rate, comment and/or interact   read more

I'm going to go a little bit of the topic of writing in this post. Maybe I feel I need to get something off my chest.I used to have a personal blog for such occasions but it attracted a lot of animosity and I bailed out. I can be a chicken at times.AnywayI had a little rant yesterday over the phone to one of the GP's in the medical practice I'm registered to; a build up of frustrations and pain spilling out to this poor woman who only rang up to discuss my blood test results.Suffice to say, I had feelings of overwhelming guilt for some time after. What had I done? Had I done anything wrong   read more

I recently purchased The Fortean Times Paranormal Handbook, trying to justify myself that the money that I spent was worth it for research purposes. I’d been putting it off for weeks but finally convinced myself it would make a good read and paid out the £7.99 it costs. Was it justified? I couldn’t say for sure. It features aspects of the paranormal I’m interested in such as cryptozoology, ghost watching, ABC’s (Alien Big Cats), Life after Death, Psychic powers etc but it also features those I’m not so keen on like crop circles and Ufo’s. But, I don’t think   read more

I can't help but be a bit overwhelmed by the vast amount of tools and embellishments etc. that is needed for card making.A trip out to Hobbycraft in Romford was both exciting and disappointing. How on earth would I ever be able to afford all that I would need to create unique and beautiful card designs? I think, for me, that digital is definitely the way to go.I don't think I would ever be able to learn all that is needed to sell my designs off line. Not to mention being able to afford all that is needed!Purchasing digital downloads for use online and for printing is so much easier and cheaper   read more

Home Invasion is a scary phenomenon that I didn't even know existed on a big scale.Burglaries, yes but intruders entering into your home when you're there? No! I thought maybe this could happen as an accident; a burglary gone wrong so to speak.Lensmaster, Oosquid has done a good job highlighting this criminal act but I would like to see more information and facts about it. How often does it occur? for example.Are there ways you could lessen the chance of being hurt whilst the burglary is in progress? Do's and Don'ts?If you want to know how to protect yourself from Home Invasion then do check this   read more

How many lensmasters regularly check on the health of their lenses using the SquidUtils Health Check?Well, I know I don't very often and maybe it's about time I did. It's easy to get complacent with your lenses. It's easy to think that as soon as you've completed it and published it, then that's it until you need to update it again.However, it's vital that you've optimised your squidoo lenses as much as possible. It will all help in SEO etc. This includes your introduction, image, back links and tags.So, how do you access this tool? On your Squidoo Dashboard, go to My Lenses.Now, scroll down to   read more

Did anyone watch it? I didn’t realise it was on which I’m a bit miffed about. Although Bigfoot is not a favourite of mine, I know very little about it so would have liked a bit of insight. Are there actual signs of Bigfoot existing? For example, sightings, signs of kills, footprints etc? I feel that Bigfoot could actually exist. I mean, it’s not outside the realms of possibility. I’m thinking of the known existence of feral children. Is Bigfoot related at all to humans? The mating of man and beast doesn’t bear thinking about! Or, is it/he/she more animal? What would   read more

(well maybe not so sad but more of relief!) that I close down my reviewing business.When I first starting reviewing I felt it was a good way of pushing my name 'out there'. It helped me make a start on a career of writing and it helped me build up my confidence.Now, I feel, I no longer need it and I'm almost beginning to resent it for all the valuable time it seems to take up. It's also not a good way to earn money. Yes, I enjoyed reading a variety of books (and I found some friends along the way); Yes, it helped me write and also to see how other novels were written. But, now I feel it's more   read more
