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 …

“I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
Any Bon Jovi fan knows, exactly what words are missing from today's blog title. 🙂 I am listening to Bon Jovi (imagine?) this morning, trying to find some energy for today. I need energy today for another long walk. That's six in a row. I am tired. Anyway, I did get some writing done this … Continue reading “I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
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
I’d Die For You
You might recognise the blog title as a Bon Jovi song. I will add the playlist at the end, it's one I made for my birthday last year. I have a feeling it'll come in handy this December as well. 🙂 So, anywho, writing. Do you think I can finish book 4 in 11 weeks? … Continue reading I’d Die For You
The struggle is real …
Sometimes the struggle to carve out writing time is painfully difficult. Kinda where I am at the moment. I know I need to finish [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and I really like the story, it's great fun to write. I just can't seem to force my backside into a chair and get it done. It's so … Continue reading The struggle is real …
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
Am I writing?
I am, just not as much as I should be!I did get permission to use a couple of friends as characters and yesterday I wrote 2K. So it is happening just not fast enough. It annoys me when I can't seem to carve the time to write because I know I can, I'm just not. … Continue reading Am I writing?
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 …
