Occasionally a story has a mind of its own. When that happens there is no point forcing the story onto the path you've chosen. Sometimes you just need to sit with it. Plant yourself in the mess and watch. Let it do what it wants. See what happens. You've got nothing to lose. Words are … Continue reading Just sit with it …

Promised Land
No secret that I love me some Elvis. Promised Land is way up there as one of my favourite songs that Elvis sang.Today was a really fun day. Always lovely to have a visit from Anne Barwell, one of our fabulous authors. Then, we had the filming for the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards. Much … Continue reading Promised Land
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in. Hmm. I was typing and half the screen slid sideways. I suspect my website is having a moment! Definitely seems that way. Oh well, never mind, how sad. Today was all about the alphabet until I got tired of it. If you've ever put books, already on a shelf, in … Continue reading Welcome to my world
How do you write?
Quite the question really. I'm always fascinated by how other authors do their thing. I know how I write. I know how stories come together for me. I know to trust my process because I've learnt to trust how my mind works. (Learnt is the correct word, I'm not American.) Doris was watching me work … Continue reading How do you write?
Waiting, writing, wondering.
Today is a super shite weather day. It's been raining heavily for two days.And this ... I think Diesel knows when I'm going to get a migraine before I do. I noticed a wee while ago that he sits behind me sometimes when I'm in the kitchen doing dishes or baking. I used to say … Continue reading Waiting, writing, wondering.
Blinded by Rainbows
It's been pouring with rain all day here. The type of rain that floods the yard and street. The kind of rain that saturates shoes within minutes. I didn't even get to the bus stop with dry feet. So that was it for me. I refuse to spend the day with wet cold feet. That … Continue reading Blinded by Rainbows
Turn The Page …
Going with a Bob Seger classic today. Let me tell you about the last few days. They've been nuts. I posted on Twitter a couple of days ago about Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. And so many people fondly remember Skippy. I've even heard from the son of Liza Goddard (Liza played Clarissa/Clancy in the series). … Continue reading Turn The Page …
Lookin’ out my back door.
Quite the understatement really. I went down with the flu on Monday, which was and still is my week. Don't know why I expected to be better by now, clearly, I was optimistic. If only that worked. COVID was annoying but this is downright misery. Since getting COVID on May 5th, I have unwittingly opened … Continue reading Lookin’ out my back door.
How’s your weekend?
I'm currently listening to a 70's playlist on Spotify and drinking a Corona - with lemon because I'm out of limes. I've worked out what we're having for dinner. I fancied fish pie but Doris doesn't like it. Gosh, there's a surprise! 🙂 So we're having stuffed potatoes.Think about this ... I stuff potatoes with … Continue reading How’s your weekend?
Trolls are alive and well …
Seems that all it takes to cop abuse is to be a Kiwi author and run a boosted post about a new release. Guess there are some very unhappy Australians out there who enjoy knocking Kiwis for no reason at all. Never mind the people who assume a boosted post for [Leave a message] is … Continue reading Trolls are alive and well …
