I am tired. Really tired. Was trying to read that book (we've talked about it before) but it's driving me crazy. When I read, I see images and video. I don't see words I see what the words create. And I love reading, except sometimes when an author does something really silly and I see … Continue reading She lied to the FBI.

Am I teaching this month?
Only time will tell. I very much hope I am because I LOVE LOVE teaching crime writing. It's right up there as one of my favourite things. And that reminds me I want to go through my text book (because I made myself one so I didn't have to carry bundles of notes), and tweak … Continue reading Am I teaching this month?
Waiting …
Some days are waiting days.Currently I'm waiting for the dog ranger to come and make us safe again by removing a dangerous dog from the neighbourhood. We shall see if that happens or not. I hope it does. I'd quite like to bring our big red bin in from the street but none of us … Continue reading Waiting …
Whatcha doing now?
Found myself asking a character that ^^ question this morning. Ben was behaving less like Ben I thought but then I realised I'd never let him take over before, he was always seen through Ronnie or Crockett's eyes. Maybe Ben was just being Ben. 🙂 If so, it's a markedly different side of him and … Continue reading Whatcha doing now?
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?
If that’s what it takes …
Welcome to Sunday. I'm tired of trying to get answers from Twitter regarding the scheduled posts not posting on my account. So tired of it that I resurrected someone. Kinda weird being able to hear her again, but, that's what needed to happen so I don't get super pissed off at spending hours setting posts … Continue reading If that’s what it takes …
For The Good Times.
I'm sitting in my bed surrounded by notebooks and pens (mine, of course). The open page of the notebook I'm using for [Leave a message] says: Beef Crockett up, it's time he earned his legend status.I'm not sure how he's going to prove himself to Ronnie yet, but, seems like he's going to at least … Continue reading For The Good Times.
In My Secret Life
Thanks to Leonard Cohen for the blog title (yes, there will be a link down below to this track). It's probably no secret to anyone here that I grew up with Leonard Cohen loving parents. So, I'm a wee bit familiar with his music and poems. Anywho, moving right along. The reason I chose 'In … Continue reading In My Secret Life
Fingerprint File
You probably know that 'Fingerprint File' is a Rolling Stones song, right? And that it was on the 1974 album It's Only Rock and Roll. It's one of my least favourite songs from that album but I like the lyrics. They work for me today, so, there ya go. Today is another day of mistaken … Continue reading Fingerprint File
Let’s have another wee chat …
By now I'm sure you know what that means. If you guessed that I'm reading another book that could do with help, you're correct. You win. Your prize is a blog post about characterisation and creating different characters. More specifially how characters view the world differently. Let's look at that, shall we? Yeah, that's right, … Continue reading Let’s have another wee chat …
