Tangled Up In Blue
Due to the major debate in my head all night the other night ... indigo or teal! Well, Readers, both won. Underneath my fairly blonde (kinda strawberry blonde) hair is a layer of indigo, teal, indigo, teal, indigo. And, I like it!Luckily Kid6 did it for me. Seems fair, because, I've coloured her hair lots … Continue reading Tangled Up In Blue
Your Wildest Dreams
Some nights are just not worth the effort, last night was such a night. Very little sleep and a lot of brain rambling. It's not like my brain was busy working out a plot point or anything, it was not, it was rambling! Thoughts wandered all over the map. Should I add indigo or teal … Continue reading Your Wildest Dreams

Dancing with Mr D
https://youtu.be/9hw1SKn5eFM Years ago when I was a new writer I was given a lot of advice from a lot of authors who know their shit. The most common thing I was told was “Keep showing up”.

She Didn’t Do Magic
Tuesday in the bookshop wasn't I thought it would be. Nope. Not at all. When I walked up this morning I had one thought on my mind. There's a scene in Vaporbyte when Ellie recognizes someone in a photo from a bar. And I needed to add a wee sentence. I know I needed to … Continue reading She Didn’t Do Magic
When the phone rings…
We'd just finished dinner and my phone rang. The conversation kinda went like this ...Robbie: The yellow note things, they're a clue that Mac did it, aren't they?Me: They are a clue.Robbie: Did Mac do it?Me: I'm not telling you who did it but it's good you think it's Mac at this point. Let me … Continue reading When the phone rings…
