1821 – I feel a bit stupid.

I know I am not the first person to retire. But it is the first time I’ve done so. Some of my friends may argue that retirement from the RAF counts as the first time, but this time it’s different. If things go according to plan in just under a month’s time, I will stop work, and never have to work again. Of course such profound plans rarely survive first contact with tax loving governments.

People have been asking me what I am going to do when I retire? Stock answers might be devoting more time to my hobbies and interests. Well, I suppose in a way, I might be doing that. More on that in a bit.

Of course, an obvious thing is to volunteer. I could do that, but I have very specific things in mind – not going to write about them now, but may do – when I retire!

I have a number of interests, and each of them offer an opportunity for blogging, and in some cases vlogging. I’ll definitely be doing that. Quite a bit of it if plans work out.

That takes me back to what said a couple of paragraphs ago. What am I going to do when I retire? Well, rather than go into a long explanation, I’m just going to say “I’m going to be an author – I’m going to write a book”.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.

I'm here to work on fiction. Occasionally I'll blog but that's certainly not my focus. You have a specific fiction genre or format you can't find enough of? Ask me. Maybe I got it. I migh share it with you. Otherwise, leave me alone; I'm toiling away at my workbench.
