I've just sat down. Potentially I could spend the next two hours writing. We'll see.How was your Monday?Mine looked, and still looks in some regards, like this:I stumbled out of bed to let the dog out, then back in, and then feed the beasts, and made coffee. While my coffee was brewing I opened all … Continue reading A day in the life …
Book launch
It’s all fun and games …
... until your phone won't charge. No fun to be had then. I can't afford to replace it at the moment so all my fingers are crossed that turning it off and back on works! 🙂 I know it's been misbehaving and not allowing calls through at times - of course I don't know it's … Continue reading It’s all fun and games …
Born this way.
I've always enjoyed Lady Gaga, so you can thank her for the title of today's ramblings. Born this way was the title of a chapter in Qubyte. Worked then and it works today. 🙂 This week is busy and also there have been some fun things happen. [Nothing happens here] is now an audio book … Continue reading Born this way.
It’s a day that ends in Y.
Or why?Could be both?It's going to be. 🙂 Anywho, we are back from our flying visit (via Ferry) to Marlborough Sounds and then Christchurch. We have visited the southern family. Marvellous fun to be had.And now? Well, I'm teaching my Crime Writing Course from Saturday, so that'll keep me out of trouble for the next … Continue reading It’s a day that ends in Y.
Don’t take it for granted.
What is it? I hear you ask. It is, anything and everything, or nothing. That depends on you. The youngest child suggested an idea for a novella today. (Yes, the youngest child is the one who suggested the Fates Entwined novellas, if you recall she hasn't read those yet. Mostly because ME/CFS renders words to … Continue reading Don’t take it for granted.
Christmas Eve 2024
Kia ora,Welcome to Christmas Eve in New Zealand. It started with a text to a friend who has a Christmas Eve birthday. I was first to say Happy Birthday so that's a win. (Also a perk of living in the future.)The rest of the day involved dessert making, washing, and trying out two new styling … Continue reading Christmas Eve 2024
[Nothing happens here]
I'd been meaning to pop into that manuscript and fiddle with a few things so this morning I finally did! You know how there are always those annoying little things that everyone misses until the book is published? Yeah them. (The my that should've been me and other annoyances, like American spelling!)New versions are now … Continue reading [Nothing happens here]
And we wait …
We've reached the part of the year where there is a lot of 'hurry up and wait' happening. Everything feels like it slows down as Christmas approaches. It doesn't and couriers are flat out despite that it seems to take forever to get parcels! So we wait. I'm waiting for two packages (Christmas decorations and … Continue reading And we wait …
Welcome home!
I'm back from Tauranga and family time with my oldest daughter. It was my first time in Tauranga and suffice to say I was underwhelmed by the hill they call Mount Maunganui. Seriously, The Mount? Yes, there are pretty beaches though.Anywho, was good to be with Bex and her family. Now I'm home and it's … Continue reading Welcome home!
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger
