And the answer came from a mate in the form of a true story followed by a question. I read the story and thought it'd be a great story if it was fictionalised and ramped up a bit and some cool characters helped tell it. And I wasn't the only one who had that idea. … Continue reading I asked ‘where to now?’ recently …

Where to now?
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.

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

I thought I might not be the only person who would benefit from a little look at Writer Trench Coat Syndrome. (Bear with this is my 26th go-round with the oddness that happens once … Continue reading Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
Christmas Eve 2025
It's Christmas Eve morning. The desserts are chilling in the fridge - waiting for tomorrow. Gregory the turkey is defrosting in the fridge veggie drawer. At some stage today he will be on the bench because I keep my fridge colder than most people. Or, I'll adjust the temp. But the joy of Christmas in … Continue reading Christmas Eve 2025
The End.
And just like that another Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book exists.
And now the end is near:
That title felt slight ominous as I wrote it. And I could hear Sid Vicious in my head so even more ominous. Oh well. That's how it is some days.This weekend and today have been marvellous for writing. I got back on track on Saturday and charged ahead yesterday and today. From 70K on Saturday … Continue reading And now the end is near:
