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. I may or may not name the tomatoes. We also planted mint. (When I say 'we' it was Geoff. I … Continue reading Everything is hairy

I Get A Rush.
If you don't recognise the blog title it's a Bon Jovi song from 100,000,000 fans can't be wrong.I was going to link it, but it's in the Flashbyte playlist and I had another plan for today's post! If you want to hear it then go to Playlists (up top) and scroll down to Flashbyte.)Was a … Continue reading I Get A Rush.
Counting down …
I love a countdown. I really do. The countdown I have presently is my favourite sort. It's not a book release it's entirely for me. My Knight will be home for a holiday soon. 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
And the reading has begun …
Yep, I'm reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima] for the first time as an entire story. So far so good. 🙂 It's always interesting what I have in my head that could be issues compared to what is written. I was pretty sure that I'd skimped on some details/description and whatnot. So far, I have not. That's … Continue reading And the reading has begun …
It’s over rover …
But it's not really over it's just beginning. The initial writing stage is over. Hopefully [Foxtrot Mike Lima] now has 97k worth of bones and sinew and is ready for a little bit of muscle. As much as I want to dive in and start reading this weekend, I am not going to. I am … Continue reading It’s over rover …
80k and there’s more to come!
At the beginning of the year I did not think I'd be able to launch [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] in August let alone write [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Thankfully with excellent care from Habit Health I did launch [WTF] and I did start writing [FML] ... early on it was in very carefully managed blocks of a … Continue reading 80k and there’s more to come!
When the germs get you …
Yesterday I drank so many cups of tea I was beginning to feel waterlogged. This morning I'm on my second pot of plunger coffee because I cannot face anymore tea. It's very rare for me to drink this much coffee. Good indication that the germs Freda brought into the house have won. I shall keep … Continue reading When the germs get you …
