What is it about?
That fun moment when someone actually asks you what your next book is about and you haven't done that one thing you tell all writers to do ...

Those days keep the other days from burning your lungs or drowning you. I think the things that really keep me moving … Continue reading Writing is like breathing.

She also low-key accused Stupid Ben of making the child sick because "she wasn't sick … Continue reading The BS neighbours
Road to nowhere.
Another week zapped by and here we are looking at another Saturday. I was supposed to be teaching crime writing today. It should've been the first lesson. But, Omicron has fucked that. About 40 classes were cancelled for Omicron related reasons. š¦ I get it though. To be honest with the muppet protest in the … Continue reading Road to nowhere.
