If you've written a book then you know once you write The End a very odd thing happens in your brain. I thought I might not be the only person who would benefit from a little look at Writer Trench Coat Syndrome. (Bear with this is my 26th go-round with the oddness that happens once … Continue reading Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.

Ch-ch-changes.
Magic hi jinx this morning. It disappears then returns. Guess that's why they called the station, Magic? And now my HomePods have turned the volume up themselves. So, weird. Anywho, [EMP] is moving along and I'm very much enjoying this first draft (so far). I like stories that have multiple facets - they entertain me … Continue reading Ch-ch-changes.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
And then …
The last two days were spent revising my teaching textbook and the workbook that goes with the crime writing course I teach. A minimum of 16 hours went into doing that. Everything is shiny and new. New formatting, new covers, new titles, new ISBNs, revamped content, and some new content.I have ordered myself a copy … Continue reading And then …

What about me?
This week I've been reading [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] and getting it ready for editing and such. I'm reading it as an ePub on my iPad and using the note function to make comments about changes - missing words etc. It's a lot nicer than doing the same thing using my Kindle. This will be the … Continue reading What about me?
Like a horse on meth!
Yes, that’s an odd post title. But it tickled the hell out of me. A new review for [indigo Romeo Lima] landed yesterday and I think it’s rather good. But you can make up your own minds. Damnably clever let me know what you think!
Hey ho silver lining.
I've been writing quite a bit lately. [FFS] is coming along nicely. I had to go back and write three new chapters in the beginning to satisfy my gut feeling that it didn't start early enough and add a few other things that I knew I needed to mention, early. I did that. It works … Continue reading Hey ho silver lining.
Smoke alarms and random thoughts
It's one of those weird days. Kind of disjointed. Not sure why but every now and then days like that appear. This morning I was writing chapter summaries to try and see something I thought I would find in [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra], I sort of found what I was looking for ... turns out my … Continue reading Smoke alarms and random thoughts
Autumn has arrived.
This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I'm sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She's making typing difficult and she doesn't care. There are worse problems to have. Last night was spent with friends. Laughing. Drinking a little bit. Eating delicious corned … Continue reading Autumn has arrived.
