I’m trying to get it back; it’s gone AWOL on me. I’m wondering if I ought to post all what I need to do, as a list, here to see if it gets me creating again. How many writing tools do you need to use in order to get scribbling? I’ve just acquired a Psion as if a laptop (or two), pens, paper, software, journals and countless reading material isn’t enough. should be long past this stage of not knowing what is best for me to get creative. How long have I been doing this now? Obviously, not long enough! So, what am I using the Psion for? Asking endless questions. Not   read more

As I’m new to this Cryptozoology stuff (although my interest is strong, my knowledge is pretty poor!) I wanted to find at least one good RSS feed about the topic that I could display in the sidebar. wanted to provide any visitors to this site with a little extra info about Cryptozoology that, maybe, they wouldn’t be getting from this blog just yet. My search for good feeds have been pretty disappointing so the feed I have up here now could well change over the course of the next few weeks. Although I have a strong interest and belief in Cryptozoology and the paranormal, my personal   read more

Learning to write again is like coming off medication.Except I'm not learning to write again exactly; that doesn't ever go. What does go AWOL is the ability to recognise that you do have talent; that you can write and you can express yourself with a pen and paper (or a computer and keyboard).It's a slow process and can be extremely frustrating, too. You know what you want to write but you just can't get down the way you feel it should be.I've acquired a very cheap Psion (£1 in a charity shop in Watford) and it works very well considering it's been dropped. I use it to ask myself questions about   read more

Only recently have I really begun to realise the importance of bookmarking my Squidoo Lenses.Looking at some of my worst lenses for traffic, almost all of them have not been bookmarked enough. It's not so much the back links that they are missing either. Although the back link total is not brilliant, it's not that bad either.So, why aren't they doing that well?All I can think of is that I just haven't submitted them enough to social bookmarking sites mainly because of my fear of being labelled a spammer. This is because, if I find a good site, my first thought is not to share it with everybody   read more

My interest in Cryptozoology was born after I’d read the book by Di Francis, The Beast of Exmoor. My interest in a subject is compounded when two of my general interests are crossed. E.g. Sensing Murder is a particular interest of mine, now, because it incorporates my interests in murder and psychics. Cryptozoology became even more of an interest to me because Di Francis suggested that the missing girl Genette Tate could have been the victim of one of the Big Cats in the UK.Cryptid Sightings.   read more

This blog is undergoing a quick change!Luckily, my URL to the blog is nothing too specific so I can change the title to something more appropriate if I choose. However, I might just stick with this one The topic of this blog is Cryptozoology – the wonderful world of all that is weird and unexplained. It’s about the big cats in the UK, big-foot, phantom black dogs etc.I’ve also set up a new blog on Tumblr: http://researching-c ryptozoology.tumblr.c om/ Tags: big cats, black dogs Related posts No   read more

It’s been pretty quiet on this blog lately. It probably has something to do with the fact that I’m so busy! All my blogs are suffering…Mind you, I’ve been suffering health-wise, too but you don’t want to hear about that, do you?A little while ago I had a request for a review of a squidoo lens made on 4 Star Rating so need to get that completed as soon as I can. Hey, I never said I was a quick worker! I’ve also got one book review outstanding. I never feel entirely comfortable until I’ve caught up with my review requests. I’m unable to do anything constructive whilst   read more

One thing I have been wanting to do is to get started on Hubpages. I have an account and I also have a number of Squidoo friends there (no doubt all wondering when I’m going to publish a hub!)I have two squidoo lenses in WIP at the moment and was thinking of publishing them on Hubpages but one thing has stopped me.The ideas (or subjects) are unique (well, not completely new but I don’t have any other lenses on these subjects..) so I’m thinking that it would be better to post them on Squidoo rather than hubpages.I would be interested to know how other lensmasters are using hubpages,   read more
