You get points if you know the album and bonus points if you've seen the movie. 🙂 Yes, it's Jon Bon Jovi. I've loved this album since it was released. I don't know how many times I've seen the movie ... I own the DVD. I love it. Anywho, it felt like a good album … Continue reading Destination Anywhere:

It’s a crazy world out there …
Do you know what? Well, do ya?Do you know?Didn't think so ... shall I tell you? ...All right you twisted my arm. I missed the Secret Santa NZ sign-up. Second year in a row. Gutted. But then, the elves sorted it because in New Zealand we have fucking awesome elves. And it's on. We're all … Continue reading It’s a crazy world out there …
Days like this …
It's a stormy weekend. BUT, it was the first time I didn't know a storm was coming. Usually, my brain loses the plot and a migraine hits about the same time as a thunderstorm. Not this time. Makes me think the neurologist was right about increasing my meds. Awesome. :)This weekend I heard back from … Continue reading Days like this …
Undivided
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 …
