After thinking about this for the longest time and having a few writer pals who do this, I thought, why the fuck not?I seriously have nothing to lose and could potentially get a cup of coffee. 🙂 In case you are wondering you can now buy me a coffee - just click the link to … Continue reading Buy me a coffee? Or tequila, whatever. 🙂

Right first time.
Every time I go to write 'Good morning' my brain says "Good morning mothertruckers."It is a battle to type a simple good morning. Oddly, a few years back it was always 'Good morning Vietnam' that my brain liked to chuck out there. Anywho, how is everyone?Do you know what I completely missed due to sheer … Continue reading Right first time.
Road to nowhere.
Another week zapped by and here we are looking at another Saturday. I was supposed to be teaching crime writing today. It should've been the first lesson. But, Omicron has fucked that. About 40 classes were cancelled for Omicron related reasons. 😦 I get it though. To be honest with the muppet protest in the … Continue reading Road to nowhere.
Writing music:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3sqb97qAXnHh1yZNYN7Z1d?si=97aafb9b517a4629 Welcome to Friday.This week was a big week for my brain. It's been a bit migrainy which is unusual these days - because I'm taking meds to prevent migraines, but, the thing with that is, it doesn't stop them completely. Nothing does. That would take magic. (When volcanoes erupt and other things interfere with … Continue reading Writing music:
Who shot Crockett?
🙂 Did anyone shoot Crockett? You'll find out when [Leave a message] launches around about the middle of 2022. If he survives without a scratch I'll be very surprised. So will you now. 🙂 Anywho, I had a dream last night that wouldn't quit. I woke at one point to turn the fan off and … Continue reading Who shot Crockett?
Christmas is over.
In some ways, I'm glad to see the back of it for another year. It's a day I don't particularly enjoy. There's a lot of cooking and cleaning involved, and then a lot of clean-up. I enjoy having the kids home, that bit is pretty awesome but the rest of it is long and tiring. … Continue reading Christmas is over.
Wouldn’t it be great …
If you could plug yourself into a charger or stick your hand on a changing mat and magically re-charge. Well, I think it'd be damn handy. Especially in muggy gross weather. Summer so far is horrible. I'm not a fan. Enough about my dislike of wet weather.I stumbled across something the other day that sounded … Continue reading Wouldn’t it be great …

I Walk The Line
Thanks to Johnny Cash for the title, but, I think we all know I don't walk the line ... I repel over that thing at every opportunity. It's in my genes. I finished teaching for the year. It was fun, as always. I very much hope my students go on and write amazing crime novels. … Continue reading I Walk The Line
Listen to the music.
I know, I've been quiet. Actually, I haven't been quiet but I've been quiet here. It's a busy nineteen days - I have blogged in that time just not much. Anywho, today I was teaching in the big city. I do enjoy it. Today's topics were description, dialogue, and research. They do kinda go together … Continue reading Listen to the music.
