Home.
Hi ya!You probably know we were away down south. Now we're home. Diesel is most pleased. The cats have barely acknowledged us. 🙂 A question for you ... 1 or 2? I've been playing with blurbs for [Foxtrot Mike Lima] so far 2 is coming out on top but my editor likes 1. 🙂 No … Continue reading Home.

Exercise Putty
It's strange stuff but kinda fun to play with. Surprisingly difficult to squeeze today so that's interesting. Yesterday it was easier. The putty I'm using is the second strength. How they make them different strengths, I don't know! It's made from silicone. Sort of reminds me of slime but it's not slimy so maybe more … Continue reading Exercise Putty
Everything is hairy
All the animals are shedding like it's their job. The joy of spring time, I guess. Today was a planting day. Six tomato plants and two giant pumpkins. The pumpkins are named Peter and Petra.

It's the best countdown ever and the shortest we've had. So hooray! This week just got busy, especially Wednesday. Appointments all … Continue reading Counting down …
19th Nervous Breakdown
Thanks to the Rolling Stones for the title of today's rambling. 🙂 Actually works quite well. Finishing a novel is a weird time for me. Always has been. The intensity and single focus of getting to the end pushes everything aside and takes over. This is true of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] just like every other … Continue reading 19th Nervous Breakdown
I have to say something …
If you're a frequent flyer reader here then you know that there are occasions when I read a book so dreadful that it becomes a teaching moment. Notes are made. I use the awfulness as an example (of what not to do) for my crime writing class. Who can forget the honey-haired denim-eyed fiasco? This … Continue reading I have to say something …
Friday 13th
Always been a bit of a special day. Good day to do all sorts of things. Especially if you're a bit Wiccan. Anywho, that's not how I spent my day. I spent it elbow deep in [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and I very much enjoyed it. Turns out my first draft isn't a shitty abomination at … Continue reading Friday 13th
