The latest scammy spammy emails arriving in force are "behind the scenes" emails. FFS. They're from "digital marketers" and they're wanting to put together 'behind the scenes' videos for authors. I'm not sure what these bots/people think goes on when authors are writing but I am sure that it would make a very boring video. … Continue reading Now I have another question:

I had questions …
Some days make you shake your head. Shit happens and stuff goes sideways and you don't really grasp how it could happen. Everyone has days like that, right? Well, folks, let me tell you a tale about Friday the 13th. I went off to work at 8:30 this morning (extra shift), knowing that my author … Continue reading I had questions …
Where to now?
This week feels a tad confused. My days are screwy. It'll even out. Meanwhile, I've had to move things around to make everything work. So everything is a day late! Anywho, that's not what this post is about. I have a question for Pages users. Have you tried 'Proofread'? If so, what did you think? … Continue reading Where to now?
You wouldn’t believe it …
Life has been crazy, you know that if you've been here longer than five minutes, with all the crazy I fudged an ISBN. I put it into D2D and it's already been used. It's mine so, I guess I put the wrong name next to it in the file! It's easy to do. I get … Continue reading You wouldn’t believe it …
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
NYE 2025
It's time for a recap of 2025. As much as I want to say the year was bullshit - it wasn't like that the whole year. There were wonderful parts of the year and some of the shit had wonderful aspects. It's easy for us to focus on the bad things, but we don't know … Continue reading NYE 2025

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.
It’s that time of year again.
It's a busy time in our family, there are a lot of birthdays in December for us. And there is the birthday rule ... no decorations up until after my birthday. (We've broken it a few times but my oldest son keeps the tradition alive with his family.)My patience is at an all time low. … Continue reading It’s that time of year again.
There’s a tipping point:
I always know when a book tips over from “chaos gremlin” to “actual novel,” and yesterday [EMP] hit that point hard. One moment I was trudging through scenes like I’d lost the map; the next, everything snapped into alignment and the story took off like it had somewhere urgent to be.
Nothing stays the same forever.
This evening, I was sitting on the couch watching 'Taken' (the TV show not one of the movies) and it occurred to me that I was sitting on the couch watching a show and I wasn't stressed to buggery about birthdays and Christmas looming. I wasn't bothered at all.I remember a time (years of it, … Continue reading Nothing stays the same forever.
