I had to check the day and date four times this morning and I'm still not sure what day it is! I know it's Nicky's birthday, so I know it's the 14th of August. Day? Yesterday I thought it was Tuesday so that's probably causing the confusion. Well, that, and a migraine. There's been an … Continue reading And on it goes …

Notes
The last week or so has been all about notes. My notes. I've been coming up with different ways to teach the same subject. Fresher text. It was time. Or I'm procrastinating like the pro I am. It was time to tackle tired text and revamp it. Tidy it all up a bit, make it … Continue reading Notes
And then …
The last two days were spent revising my teaching textbook and the workbook that goes with the crime writing course I teach. A minimum of 16 hours went into doing that. Everything is shiny and new. New formatting, new covers, new titles, new ISBNs, revamped content, and some new content.I have ordered myself a copy … Continue reading And then …
I’m twitchy
My eyelid is twitchy. I know what it is. It's stress. It's happened before, a couple of times. Once upon a time the mere mention of the Frau would start my eye a twitching. She's long gone from our vicinity, thankfully. This twitch is because the last three weeks have been crazy stressful. They may … Continue reading I’m twitchy
This will never do.
Yesterday I got through a bunch of edits and suggestions from Margot Kinberg (my much trusted friend). [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is all the better for it. One of the changes was allowing Nana her voice. Every now and then there are third POV chapters in this series, usually when I don't want to share too … Continue reading This will never do.

What about me?
This week I've been reading [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] and getting it ready for editing and such. I'm reading it as an ePub on my iPad and using the note function to make comments about changes - missing words etc. It's a lot nicer than doing the same thing using my Kindle. This will be the … Continue reading What about me?
The end is looming.
Nothing to do with the wars. At all. Except that I might've called it again. Oops. Never mind, that's how we roll. I know things and I hope they don't eventuate. (Also, I literally have a pantry full of canned food and so forth. 16 can's of baked beans doesn't look so obsessive now, does … Continue reading The end is looming.
Like a horse on meth!
Yes, that’s an odd post title. But it tickled the hell out of me. A new review for [indigo Romeo Lima] landed yesterday and I think it’s rather good. But you can make up your own minds. Damnably clever let me know what you think!
Every Beat of My Heart.
That's right, the Rod Stewart song is today's blog title. Why? Because I like the song. Also, because it's the title of the first story in Cachebyte. Words have been elusive since I arrived home from Mahau Sound. [FFS] isn't moving along as fast as it did while I was away. It's annoying me. (Of … Continue reading Every Beat of My Heart.
