I'm quite focused on writing at the moment. My brain is starting to work at its normal pace, there are a lot of balls in the air and no notes to keep me on track. Why'? Because it happened suddenly. The notes, scenes, I'd hand written are no longer relevant. It's not what I thought … Continue reading Don’t you remember?

Crash Into Me.
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.
What’s going on?
Seems like I ask that question a lot when I'm working. It's interspersed with "What do they want?" and "What's the worst case scenario?" Currently, "What's going on?" is front and centre. To be fair, I often don't know how something will play out or what's going on. My brain is just getting back to … Continue reading What’s going on?
When will you be mine?
Last night was another crappy nights sleep but while I was not sleeping I discovered a story thread (in my mind) that I think I'm going to explore. Has a little to do with foreshadowing but not what anyone would expect. Anywho, I'm going to see how far it goes and what happens. This is … Continue reading When will you be mine?
The things my kids do:
Last week my youngest son (who is about to be an age that doesn't make him very young at all) was playing with ChatGPT after I'd shared some news.This is the result of Josh's tinkering. I don't know exactly what his prompt was and ChatGPT consistently wants to say my Byte Series is about hackers … Continue reading The things my kids do:
Don’t Stand So Close To Me.
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.
Why?
The title might stick, it's currently: why? Because why not? Yesterday was a fun day. My brain behaved, always good when that happens. Something to consider in an LEO setting ... intuition, experience, and training. Keep that in mind, for a second or two. Ellie Conway is the main character of my Byte Series. She … Continue reading Why?
End of an era?
Feels like the end of an era. Writers Plot Bookshop is closing and will be online only from Saturday. It was a big part of my life for 7 years and now it's the end. It was a dream and then a reality and now I'm gone and so is the shop. I will be … Continue reading End of an era?
Here’s Dallas …
January ended with a new family member. Doris has her kitten!We didn't think we'd be adding to the menagerie so soon but the opportunity arose and along came little Dallas. (Tortoiseshell Birman.) I expected a bit of pushback from Diesel and Patrick. I did not expect Diesel to start treating Dallas like she was his … Continue reading Here’s Dallas …
Coming to you from Mahau Sound.
I might have to shout as the internet isn't the happiest over here ... it's still copper wire. I'll probably need to shout.How is everyone? How was your New Year? Yes, I am interested. Go ahead and tell me. My current view is stunning and very familiar. It's the same view, always. I very much … Continue reading Coming to you from Mahau Sound.
