I’ve just been completing my Tax Return for 2017/18, due in online by 31 January, 2019 and found a very welcome ‘tax break’ for new authors with not too many sales.
I published my first (and only, so far) book in 2016/17. I had to declare the additional income from the sales as ‘self-employment’ income. Lots of stuff to fill in and quite a…[Read more]

I’m an Amcrastinator. I never put things off at work, only in relation to my hobbies.

I haven’t entered a comp for a while though lack of time but this one intrigued me and my entry is short.
I suppose it’s a form of Writer’s Block – except that I can’t stop writing. Does that make sense? Probably not. Think of it as writing your way around the surface of a Klein bottle. Yes! That’s it exactly. Thank you. I know where I am now. I…[Read more]

You could have an industrial ‘dirty old town’ with back-to-back terraced housing where the kids still play in the streets, ancient pubs, pawn shops and run down motor repair lots and a ‘new’ posh housing estate with a children’s’ playground and the area by the canal nicely landscaped, built on the site of an old factory that went out of business.…[Read more]

On the matter of the supposed redirect to the secure address. I opened the old address this morning as I hadn’t changed my favourites. Everything appeared as normal (except the address said not secure) until I tried to log in. It simply ignored my log in with no messages and no redirect. Fortunately I saw Daed’s reply to Hilary from last night and…[Read more]

Hello Bren. I’d like to be! But I’m still writing my great-grandfather’s biography which is taking much longer than I anticipated. But I’m thoroughly enjoying doing it.
I don’t know if you saw that I wrote a children’s book last year to read to all my grandchildren when we were all together for a week in the New Forest. It was an children’s…[Read more]-
I’m glad you are enjoying the research and writing. I am out of the loop at the moment but hope to launch Dragonflies soon. Dick has been very ill so I missed the launch before Christmas. He is on the mend now but it will be slow.

It does carry a trigger warning.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for this post. Very good news about the Trading Allowance. It was a nuisance having to fill in forms about the small profits we might make from our ‘amazing’ self publishing experience. As you say if we keep careful note of our costs it may be a while before true profits are accrued.
