Actually don't. No. I don't want you to crash into me. In fact, stay far far away. It's Monday. Coffee is black and hot, as it should be. It's a bit early in the day and the week for anything much. The plan is to work on [Foxtrot Mike Lima] after physio this morning. We … Continue reading Crash Into Me.

Been away for a wee bit but I’m back!
I'm sure you all missed me. 🙂 Or not. Got home this afternoon. There was joy because the shuttle driver was the same lovely driver who took me to the airport on Saturday. We had a good laugh at various idiots in cars (he's not fond of most drivers) and then we had wee chat … Continue reading Been away for a wee bit but I’m back!
Settling into the new normal:
It's quite tricky working out what I can and can't do now and forever more. The only way to work it out is to try. If there's pain it's a no, if there isn't then a way I go. So far most things that are every day type things for me are a big fat … Continue reading Settling into the new normal:

The thing with being an author …
To be honest it's a pretty fucking cool thing to be but there's a lot to it. Like anything. It's not as simple as writing a story. (Good on you if you actually think writing is easy or ever simple.)You have to write, be published, and be on all the *social media, and constantly be … Continue reading The thing with being an author …
We’ve reached the end …
Of October. 🙂 What'd you think I was talking about?Oh, right [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] ... there might be a finishedish first draft that I am going over and beefing up Crockett while checking that this story makes sense. (Grammarly does not recognise finishedish. Guess that'll be added to the "unique word" count for the week. … Continue reading We’ve reached the end …
Writing, Writing, get on with it.
The last few months (okay, the whole year ... the last three years) have been annoying writing-wise. It's harder and harder to scratch out the headspace required to get a decent chunk of writing on the screen. Headspace? Yep. That's where the story is held, in my brain with random notes in a notebook. If … Continue reading Writing, Writing, get on with it.
