I have a new market writing about Space.
Univerese Today is a blog that covers space exploration and astronomy. The offer came out of work I was doing last year on Tomorrow is Here. Fraser Cain, who runs Universe Today, also runs the carnival of space, which often featured articles from Tomorrow is Here.

Perhaps this could lead to something bigger. I noticed that the coverage of the LCROSS Moon impact in the Daily Star was inacurate.

I have always had a problem with poor circulation. When I was at university, I would wake up with “white finger”. The doctor told me I would grow out of it. Maybe I did. Or maybe, once I started working and I could afford to heat my home properly. Either way it stopped being a problem.
But I am now a “struggling writer”. The days of milk, honey and cheap power have gone. Along with mind numbering boredom, machine coffee and office politics, so I am still happy with my decision to write full-time.
