It's quite tricky working out what I can and can't do now and forever more. The only way to work it out is to try. If there's pain it's a no, if there isn't then a way I go. So far most things that are every day type things for me are a big fat … Continue reading Settling into the new normal:

Can I just …
You all know it was release day on Friday, right? [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] is out there in the world fending for itself. Pretty exciting. I think it should be release weekend though, not just day. I mean when something takes nearly a year to write then you've got all the editing (and your nobtastic editor) … Continue reading Can I just …

Keep the Faith
Another 3k walked out of my fingers and into the [Foxtrot Mike Lima] WIP yesterday. It felt pretty good, gotta say. Very much enjoyed the writing. Woke up this morning and thought of something related to where everyone was when I stopped. That's a pretty good sign. In fact it's a very good sign.This week … Continue reading Keep the Faith

Life’s Been Good
Thank Joe Walsh for the title. I'll include the playlist I'm listening to at the end. 🙂 Delighted to say that the first parcel of [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] books arrived this morning. Considering the utter hell I went through trying to get Amazon to accept they had a fault on their end and to fix … Continue reading Life’s Been Good
Hi Ho Silver Lining.
You know that thing when someone's behaviour tweaks your gut? You give them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe it's an off day. Fairs fair, we all have them. Then you realise it wasn't a bad day, it was every time you saw them. What I do is to sit with it. Happened to … Continue reading Hi Ho Silver Lining.
Making things happen?
It's freezing here. I hate winter so much. Although there is sun today but it's not a warm sun. I spent a lot of yesterday trying to work out how to alter the cover of Vaporbyte so I could upload it to Amazon. Vaporbyte hasn't been available as a paperback from anywhere except me or … Continue reading Making things happen?
Aimless walking:
I don't do well without an objective. Today I should be going for a walk (it's good for my brain) but I can't decide where to go. The park isn't far enough and I have no desire to get wet feet from the grass. I don't do aimless walking well. I need a destination and … Continue reading Aimless walking:
