It's been a week. Usually by Saturday I can tell what sort of week it has been. This one was interesting. We did have our most fascinating bus trip ever yesterday. Neither Freda or I expected to hear the conversation we heard and had to wait until we got off the bus, a full twenty … Continue reading Don’t Stand So Close To Me.

Let it Bleed
I haven't heard 'Let it Bleed' in ages so today I'm changing that. (I'll link you to it down the bottom.)It's a dull grey rainy day and the urge to do nothing is high. Yesterday I was a domestic goddess and cleaned the oven, cleaned all the downstairs windows ... all manner of cleaning went … Continue reading Let it Bleed
Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep.
Last night I fell asleep reading [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and had some crazy dreams. It's not the first time I've fallen asleep reading [WTF] but it's the first time I've read it like it is now. Pretty well done. It's exciting reading it as a real (almost) finished book. It came in just over 85k. … Continue reading Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep.

What if?
What if William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe had a chat about my work? Guess what you can do with ChatGPT? Oh yeah I did. This is the conversation that ChatGPT spat out. (And I gotta say, this AI thing is fun to play with!) William Shakespeare: Good day, Mr Poe. I couldn't help but … Continue reading What if?
Another look at AI …
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you might have seen me say I would share another bio that ChatGPT wrote for me. And I will. Early this evening I had some fun with ChatGPT and got it to write bios for me and for my buddy Pete. We're both pretty sure that … Continue reading Another look at AI …
There’s not enough coffee …
Day Light Savings ended. I'm glad it's finished. Now there is a 4-hour time difference between here and Perth instead of the 5 hours we had all summer. It doesn't matter when My Knight is here but it makes quite a difference when he's in Perth. I just made a second pot of coffee. It's … Continue reading There’s not enough coffee …
Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
Because I have seen a lot of people using the words synopsis and blurb as if they are interchangeable, I think it's time for a wee lesson. If you are an author and you don't know the difference, I want to know why? Why haven't you checked? Why haven't you jumped online and perused the … Continue reading Synopsis? Blurb? Logline? Tagline?
Faraway Eyes
Another day has rolled around. Probably a good thing that they keep doing that. 🙂 This morning I tweaked a scene in [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] because I have time before my lovely editor gets into the book. So I added something that was needed and sent off an updated version. I've started on [Foxtrot Mike … Continue reading Faraway Eyes
