I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.

I don’t use the app so much to post but I do use to follow the notifications, and sometimes is not work so well
Thanks for the follow by the way 🙂
Yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks there’s room for improvement to say the least.
I’ve given up on the apps altogether. I only use wordpress phone app to read other blogs, but it’s so buggy I want to avoid it altogether.
It’s just too bad the website is even worse when accessed through the phone.
I’m actually not sure why they haven’t paid more attention to it.
You would think it’d be their focus to increase regular interaction with WordPress
When I first tried to write an article on that thing…I didn’t get five words in, haha.
It’s that bad
Yeah considering how big WP is you’d think basic things like that’d be fixed by now.
Plus every damn update screws something up.
My phone app does this too. The reader will stop after 20, and then often blogs I’ve followed won’t even show up in my followed blogs list. It’s very annoying.
Yes, of late, WP has been giving problems on the phone app. But can’t be on a laptop each time. Just isn’t feasible. 😃 Have a great week ahead, Fin.
Thanks. I have having so much trouble with this vision. Appreciate it.
That must be a major pain. Hopefully it’ll be sorted soon.
I hope so. Thanks.
Cool, I’ll give that a try as well. Thank you ☺
I rarely use the app, and I think it’s fine for casual use, but I had problems when making posts. Not sure if they made any improvements recently as the last I tried it was a while back.
I just downloaded the app on my phone and I can’t even figure out how to schedule a post yet The one time I tried to finish a post, I had to scrap the whole thing because it would only let me post it in real time…. I havent attempted reading blog posts on the app yet 😦
It should do. Saves having to wade through 3000 odd blogs to get to the one you want.
3000!! 😮
I frequently have the app reader not update beyond two hours past which is a real drag when I’ve been asleep… Always seems worse for a while when they do an update.

No probs ☺ I try to avoid it and use it for the same things you do.
I don’t get on well with reading/using my tablet but that’s because I work best with a big keyboard and a big screen. Old fashioned I guess!
I prefer the keyboard and big screen too. Tablets and phones are handy, but I cant write anything of length on them.
Posting on the app is a nightmare for me now. 😦
Damn, seems the app is universally crap. 😦

Yeah, its 2016, you would think theyd have it sorted by now.

WordPress premium for what! *shakes fist at nobody*
Indeed.

Exactly, alot of the time a phone or tablet is handier. Best of weeks to you also ☺
Hey thanks. 😃
How do you creat that list? Is it easy?
Yeah very simple. Click the link, I made a post about how to do it. Makes it so much easier to keep track of blogs you like.
Thanks. I have having so much trouble with this vision. Appreciate it.

They havent, the posting through app is a drawn out process, very glitchy. Last resort for me.

I find the app very glitchy especially for posting, so I rarely use it. Takes three times as long.
Reading is a bit friendlier on it ☺
I love my list of favorites. This is more about posting, but there are apps that do WP better than they do. I currently use Blogsy and love it.
I never knee there were alternatives to their own. I’ll look into it.
Whaaat?? I had no idea I could do that! That’s awesome! Thanks!!
It’s a true story ☺ Really handy.
Yeah, seems like it will be. Hopefully it works!

Yeah I get that too.
A bunch of posts are from days past just beyond the recent ones. Really annoying. I emailed WP doubt they’ll do anything..
