The latest scammy spammy emails arriving in force are "behind the scenes" emails. FFS. They're from "digital marketers" and they're wanting to put together 'behind the scenes' videos for authors. I'm not sure what these bots/people think goes on when authors are writing but I am sure that it would make a very boring video. … Continue reading Now I have another question:
Mystery
You wouldn’t believe it …
Life has been crazy, you know that if you've been here longer than five minutes, with all the crazy I fudged an ISBN. I put it into D2D and it's already been used. It's mine so, I guess I put the wrong name next to it in the file! It's easy to do. I get … Continue reading You wouldn’t believe it …
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
If you've written a book then you know once you write The End a very odd thing happens in your brain. I thought I might not be the only person who would benefit from a little look at Writer Trench Coat Syndrome. (Bear with this is my 26th go-round with the oddness that happens once … Continue reading Writer Trench Coat Syndrome.
And now the end is near:
That title felt slight ominous as I wrote it. And I could hear Sid Vicious in my head so even more ominous. Oh well. That's how it is some days.This weekend and today have been marvellous for writing. I got back on track on Saturday and charged ahead yesterday and today. From 70K on Saturday … Continue reading And now the end is near:
It amused me …
I'm not even sorry I did it. Seriously, if someone is going to send me a "screenshot" of a 5-star review they "left" - do they think I'll be tripping over myself to praise them. Maybe, if it wasn't a set up, it hadn't been written by AI, and if it'd had the correct cover. … Continue reading It amused me …
Beady eyed Wombat.
If you've read 'Underneath the Tree' you might recognise the title of this blog as something someone said in the story.But you probably do not know where that comes from. Listen up, it came from an afternoon with the posse. One member was livid over something that had happened and amongst her choice words was … Continue reading Beady eyed Wombat.
Disgruntled character?
Or perhaps he's about to act on his annoyance and become a terrorist? Who knows?Obviously not me. Anyway, I was writing ... then I thought I'd just have a quick glance over my backwards chapter outlines. Which if you know me, you know they're really not outlines at all but things I think are important … Continue reading Disgruntled character?
And on we go …
I was wandering through Substack this morning and not enjoying it at all. Far too much about the nonsense in the US. Far far too much politics for my liking. I want to escape from the bullshit not have it hit me in the face constantly. It's not that I don't care, it's that I … Continue reading And on we go …
Walk right in. Sit right down.
Yesterday was a good news day for our family. Superman has a bed in a care facility in Wellington. Such a relief to know he'll be closer very soon. It's not easy getting a bed at the highest level of care that there is (and that is what he needs). Serious brain injuries at 89 … Continue reading Walk right in. Sit right down.
