My first main character was pretty awesome. Not in the very beginning of her life, but as I grew into her and she grew into me. As she taught me to let go and trust that I knew how to do this, she became more like a person and less like a collection of words … Continue reading You taught me why.

Two stories …
We're here again, with two stories vying for my attention. So far there is no clear winner. Could go either way or I could carry on writing both. Who knows? Certainly not me!What I found interesting this time is how I'm writing. One is straight to a Pages file with no messing around with notebooks. … Continue reading Two stories …
Welcome home!
I'm back from Tauranga and family time with my oldest daughter. It was my first time in Tauranga and suffice to say I was underwhelmed by the hill they call Mount Maunganui. Seriously, The Mount? Yes, there are pretty beaches though.Anywho, was good to be with Bex and her family. Now I'm home and it's … Continue reading Welcome home!
Is it a milestone?
I've reached the age of having my glasses around my neck on a lovely beaded thingy. It's mostly to stop them flying off my face and getting kicked across the ground. They're expensive and I've already got two scuff marks on them. So, glasses keeper it is then. While I was at it, I got … Continue reading Is it a milestone?

Currently, life has a weird kind of limbo thing going on. I know it's because I have, in a very short space of time, finished two manuscripts. Yeah, not just one. Hell no. Let's make life really fucking weird and go for two. I can't even say I'm using this time to create covers and … Continue reading It’s a weird limbo situation:
Scattered on Cloth

So hooray!It's a complete first … Continue reading Scattered on Cloth

Scattered to the wind.
After ignoring/deleting 44 people who wanted to be in my LinkedIn network and realising by tomorrow there will be another 44 to delete is starting to feel like it will never end ... it's a constant bombardment of scamming pricks.

Rain drops keep falling
Last week was a big week for me. I finished the first and second drafts [Indigo Romeo Lima]. Little thing you need to know ... first, second, third, however many drafts are the same file. No one re-writes the entire manuscript. It's one file. It'll be one file until it's gone through editing and all … Continue reading Rain drops keep falling
