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:
Some days a title is just too hard.
It's true. Not a book title, those I enjoy coming up with. I'm talking about a blog post title. Today it's just too much. Anywho, onward. Because I did a quick print format for [Echo Mike Papa] yesterday, I thought maybe someone would be interested in how I do that and what I've learned over … Continue reading Some days a title is just too hard.
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
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.
It amused me …
I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them. Maybe, if it wasn't a set up, it hadn't been written by AI, and if it'd had the correct cover. … Continue reading It amused me …
Beady eyed Wombat.
If you've read 'Underneath the Tree' you might recognise the title of this blog as something someone said in the story.But you probably do not know where that comes from. Listen up, it came from an afternoon with the posse. One member was livid over something that had happened and amongst her choice words was … Continue reading Beady eyed Wombat.
