Not to brag or anything, but I think I achieved 'expert' level in procrastination this weekend. I know! I'm ready to accept my trophy. Have my speech ready and everything.But what I didn't do this weekend was piss anyone off by referring to the 'safety' on a Glock. Yeah, I'd never do that. But someone … Continue reading Procrastination level: expert

Not long now.
[Echo Mike Papa] releases Friday the 31st of July. (Maybe the 30th for some platforms - don't ask.) Anywho, I had a thought and I ran it past Robbie and Admin Bubbles and then Doris. We are in agreement. Friday the 31st there will be a little bit of a shindig at our place. A … Continue reading Not long now.
Somebody pour me a drink
It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink
Writing …
I am writing [Indigo Delta Kilo]. While I was walking home in the rain this morning, I was thinking about the story. It occurred to me that I needed to create some tech. (I know, again!) The little tiny device that is in use in the story isn't alone. It's part of something much bigger … Continue reading Writing …
Something is coming …
Something is coming out of Upper Hutt. Not loud. Not flashy. Not announced with confetti and balloons. Something quieter than that. And far more dangerous. Politics kills. Secrets kill faster. And in this town, both have a habit of getting personal. I didn’t set out to write a political thriller. I set out to tell … Continue reading Something is coming …
Trees, drains, & fun times.
Since becoming a home owner in late March - it's been busy here. First were the sewer drain issues. Two weeks after moving in we discovered we needed all the sewer drains replaced. Jeremy (from Jason Brown) bought us a few months by pulling metres of roots out of the pipes. [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] launched … Continue reading Trees, drains, & fun times.
Light reading
This week's light reading comprised of a security report, to be fair, that's not unusual. What fascinated me this week was how close I am to the truth when I'm writing the Veronica Tracey Series. Such fun! Let's just say that my bad actors are indeed a threat to our security. I knew that already, … Continue reading Light reading
10 things about last week.
Will there be ten? Let's find out, shall we?1. I can't remember Monday. 2. The drain layer (Jeremy) started digging the trenches. We could still use the shower and loo. Hooray! $$$$$3. More digging. Some drains were replaced out the front on the street. Everything was hooked up so we could use the loo overnight. … Continue reading 10 things about last week.
Long walk off a short plank:
Quite pleased with the direction of [Indigo Delta Kilo] at this point. I can see the next few scenes (as video in my brain as usual) so that's good. The title of this post came about because Crockett said it and I haven't heard that phrase for a long time. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Long walk off a short plank:
If you could read my mind …
You’d be terrified if someone could read your mind. You’d be terrified if you read mine.Not because of the secrets, though, let’s be honest, there are a few, but because of the sheer chaos of it.Half-formed thoughts. Fragments. Scenes with no beginning. Dialogue with no context. It would look like nonsense. And yet … somewhere in … Continue reading If you could read my mind …
