But it's not really over it's just beginning. The initial writing stage is over. Hopefully [Foxtrot Mike Lima] now has 97k worth of bones and sinew and is ready for a little bit of muscle. As much as I want to dive in and start reading this weekend, I am not going to. I am … Continue reading It’s over rover …

Nearly there!
Yep, [Foxtrot Mike Lima] is closing in on the finish line. Looks like a finished first draft is going to be this week not the end of October at all. Definitely coming in well before my original thoughts of late November. Joyful! I am very much enjoying writing this book.I have said that for every … Continue reading Nearly there!
The Tide Is High
There's been a lot of writing happening here over the last few weeks. So much so that this new book will be a complete "first draft" sometime in October. I was aiming for late November. It's gone places I didn't think it would. There is more than one surprise in this story. I love when … Continue reading The Tide Is High
Do you ever?
Do you ever check which country visitors to your website are from? I do it everyday. Depending on the country my mouth will engage and loudly say, "Well you can fuck off." Certain countries are a precursors to bad shit going down. How's that for a generalisation?Usually if I see a particular country lurking on … Continue reading Do you ever?
Don’t you remember?
I'm quite focused on writing at the moment. My brain is starting to work at its normal pace, there are a lot of balls in the air and no notes to keep me on track. Why'? Because it happened suddenly. The notes, scenes, I'd hand written are no longer relevant. It's not what I thought … Continue reading Don’t you remember?
What’s going on?
If you're like me you have no fucking clue. Just out here winging and hoping for the best. That is in fact how I write. Could be worse, I could be winging it with a non-functioning brain. :)It appears that some people are.This morning was all about adverbs, adjectives, passive and active sentences, loglines, and … Continue reading What’s going on?
When will you be mine?
Last night was another crappy nights sleep but while I was not sleeping I discovered a story thread (in my mind) that I think I'm going to explore. Has a little to do with foreshadowing but not what anyone would expect. Anywho, I'm going to see how far it goes and what happens. This is … Continue reading When will you be mine?

I kid you not!When people talk about me, I find it quite strange because their rendition … Continue reading Just give me a reason …
What a weekend!
It's a fabulous weekend, bit of a long weekend in actual fact. My best friend arrived on Thursday and we've had a marvellous time. Friday was the official launch of [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot], very much hoping our magnificent library staff got some good photos because I mostly forgot. Completely forgot to get a photo of … Continue reading What a weekend!
Moody blue …
No secret that I love listening to Elvis. Years ago I had Elvis's blue album. An actual blue record. Fabulous! Anywho, today I need to seriously think about writing my speech/talking points for the [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] launch at Upper Hutt Library on August 4th, 6PM. Be there or be square. 🙂 Turns out Ronnie's … Continue reading Moody blue …
