This was lurking on an old flash drive so I thought I'd share it, warts an' all. This hasn't been touched by an editor or even given a once over by me. This the first page of 3700word Byte Story. I thought I'd drop it page by page over the next few days. 🙂 It's … Continue reading I found some old words:

I still have the big bandage around my arm and I'm still unable to use my right arm effectively for pretty well anything.

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.
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

(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 …
AI can be fun. Trust me.
Or not. I don't care either way. But, AI is getting pretty good and it's fun to play with. After working (yes, writing) for a few hours this morning I decided I'd go see how ChatGPT was doing. It gets better all the time. Wanna see the results? Yeah, you're going to regardless of whatever … Continue reading AI can be fun. Trust me.
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?
