Since I’m writing with purpose again, I have been creating new worksheets. Quite a few of them are versions of worksheets already posted here tailored to my own specific quirks, but here is one that may be more generically useful (i.e. one that doesn’t have fields relating to the specific by-laws of my city).

I hadn’t realised I had been away from my blog for so long. That just goes to show what full time work does for you… Anyhow, I am still here and still writing (just about). And I once again have a new worksheet for you… Well, perhaps worksheet is the wrong word, but it’s certainly a useful resource.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Rating: EU Release Date: 11 July, 2017 Developer: Square Enix Publisher: Square Enix Total play time: 02:01:00 (Chapter One)
Final Fantasy XII is my favourite game of the series. I love the characters, the story, the soundtrack… Everything. The remastered version keeps everything I loved about the game with a few improvements.
My favourite part of XII’s gameplay was the gambit…

Episode Prompto: Final Fantasy XV (2017) Review
Episode Prompto: Final Fantasy XV (2017) Review now online #gaming #reviews #finalfantasy
Rating: EU Release Date: July, 2017 Developer: Square Enix Publisher: Square Enix Total play time: 02:31:00 (story mode)
In my eyes, Episode Prompto leaves a lot to be desired. The story is okay, if lacking in one or two vital details. The graphics are fine. The gameplay is all right. The music is quite good. Put these pieces together and you’ve got something that’s… adequate. It’s…

It's Coming Soon... I Promise
Release date for "How to Rule the World": October 15 #amwriting #bookrelease #writingtips
I posted a while back about the Worldbuilding book I planned to release.

The current release date is October 15 and I’m hoping to get the pre-orders up at the beginning of October. Why November? NaNoWriMo, of course! I’m writing this book with you guys in mind…

Initial Thoughts: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)
It has taken far too long for me to get around to playing this game. I reviewed the soundtrack a while back, but hadn’t got onto the actual gameplay. I’ve had it sitting around for a while, but in between work, Final Fantasy XV and NieR: Automata, there just hasn’t been the time.
But I’m finally there and my initial thoughts are promising. I still love the music and it totally blends with the…

Nier Automata (2017) Review
Nier Automata Review now online - best game this year so far!
Rating: EU Release Date: Mar 10, 2017 (for PS4) Developer: Platinum Games Publisher: Square Enix
Director Yoko Taro once gave a talk titled ‘Making Weird Games for Weird People’. ‘Weird’ is definitely the word to describe Nier Automata.

This is the game I’ve been waiting for.
If you’ve not played Final Fantasy before, fifteen is a great place to start. It even describes itself as “A Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers”. I absolutely love the Final Fantasy series and this is definitely one of the best. It combines…

Life is Strange is an episodic game from the makers of Final Fantasy. The story focuses on an eighteen-year-old called Max, an awkward photography student who discovers she has the ability to rewind time. This ability is one of the game’s greatest features.
The effects of rewinding time start off quite…
