I'll add the song or maybe the whole album at the end of this post. (Yes, it's Bon Jovi - but you knew that didn't you?) It's also the title of a Byte Series short story that is in Raidbyte. The story tagline is: D&D shouldn't be fatal. Undivided comes between Metabyte and Qubyte. It's … Continue reading Undivided

Bona fides not established
There's a bit of a flurry of writing happening at the moment. Mostly because I need this book finished in 8 weeks. Yesterday I went back over the 22 chapters so far and wrote backwards outlines. I was convinced I had no idea what was happening and who was doing what so it was time … Continue reading Bona fides not established
Just Older
Yes, that is a Bon Jovi song. I'll probably put it at the end so you can listen. 🙂 Today is my best friend's birthday. We've known each other longer than 40/45 years ... we have the sweatshirts it's a real thing. Just go with it. She is (and always has been) the sister I … Continue reading Just Older
Just sit with it …
Occasionally a story has a mind of its own. When that happens there is no point forcing the story onto the path you've chosen. Sometimes you just need to sit with it. Plant yourself in the mess and watch. Let it do what it wants. See what happens. You've got nothing to lose. Words are … Continue reading Just sit with it …

Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in. Hmm. I was typing and half the screen slid sideways. I suspect my website is having a moment! Definitely seems that way. Oh well, never mind, how sad. Today was all about the alphabet until I got tired of it. If you've ever put books, already on a shelf, in … Continue reading Welcome to my world
How do you write?
Quite the question really. I'm always fascinated by how other authors do their thing. I know how I write. I know how stories come together for me. I know to trust my process because I've learnt to trust how my mind works. (Learnt is the correct word, I'm not American.) Doris was watching me work … Continue reading How do you write?
