Or not, but Free think it is, so why not just go with it? Do or don't, it's up to you.Today I learned that when I stand up for myself I am apparently "aggressive". I call BULLSHIT on that. Being assertive is not being aggressive. I did not threaten or use bad language. I simply … Continue reading All Right Now.

Forever Tuesday Morning
Kiwi's of a certain age probably recognise the blog title. I was looking for something this morning and I came across a Mockers CD. Reminded me of my youth. I had a fun time in my teen years. Anywho, the CD I found has "Forever Tuesday Morning" on it. And I spotted it immediately. As … Continue reading Forever Tuesday Morning
Writing groups and writing.
A lot of you know New Zealand is currently in lockdown due to the Delta variant of COVID. We have a "go hard, go early" policy. And it's working for us.

Let’s have another wee chat …
By now I'm sure you know what that means. If you guessed that I'm reading another book that could do with help, you're correct. You win.

Break on through to the otherside …
Man, I'm a sucker for punishment. I picked that book up again last night ... and the butchery got worse. Didn't think it was possible. I'm now fully convinced the author used a word Lexicon, not just a thesaurus but someone elses compiled list of ridiculous words. At first it was hilarious, not gonna lie, … Continue reading Break on through to the otherside …
Things change …
If you've visited my Facebook page or the bookshop's page you'll already know (depending on whether FB allowed you to see the post) that "Inside Quote Marks" event in Sept was cancelled. It's postponed not cancelled but Facebook doesn't allow postponment without a definite date and we're waiting to have the date we want confirmed. … Continue reading Things change …

Who sends an email with no … Continue reading I have a dark wee mind
Limitless
Kinda how I feel today. Working. Knowing I can write without worrying about random shutdowns. Knowing I can write without having to use a fucking mouse - which 100% kills my stuffed wrist. Having a working trackpad is a pure delight!So this morning, I'm writing. I've written over 2K so far, because it's easy. I … Continue reading Limitless
