It's strange stuff but kinda fun to play with. Surprisingly difficult to squeeze today so that's interesting. Yesterday it was easier. The putty I'm using is the second strength. How they make them different strengths, I don't know! It's made from silicone. Sort of reminds me of slime but it's not slimy so maybe more … Continue reading Exercise Putty

Everything is hairy
All the animals are shedding like it's their job. The joy of spring time, I guess. Today was a planting day. Six tomato plants and two giant pumpkins. The pumpkins are named Peter and Petra. I may or may not name the tomatoes. We also planted mint. (When I say 'we' it was Geoff. I … Continue reading Everything is hairy
I Get A Rush.
If you don't recognise the blog title it's a Bon Jovi song from 100,000,000 fans can't be wrong.I was going to link it, but it's in the Flashbyte playlist and I had another plan for today's post! If you want to hear it then go to Playlists (up top) and scroll down to Flashbyte.)Was a … Continue reading I Get A Rush.
Counting down …
I love a countdown. I really do. The countdown I have presently is my favourite sort. It's not a book release it's entirely for me. My Knight will be home for a holiday soon. It's the best countdown ever and the shortest we've had. So hooray! This week just got busy, especially Wednesday. Appointments all … Continue reading Counting down …
19th Nervous Breakdown
Thanks to the Rolling Stones for the title of today's rambling. 🙂 Actually works quite well. Finishing a novel is a weird time for me. Always has been. The intensity and single focus of getting to the end pushes everything aside and takes over. This is true of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] just like every other … Continue reading 19th Nervous Breakdown
I have to say something …
If you're a frequent flyer reader here then you know that there are occasions when I read a book so dreadful that it becomes a teaching moment. Notes are made. I use the awfulness as an example (of what not to do) for my crime writing class. Who can forget the honey-haired denim-eyed fiasco? This … Continue reading I have to say something …
Friday 13th
Always been a bit of a special day. Good day to do all sorts of things. Especially if you're a bit Wiccan. Anywho, that's not how I spent my day. I spent it elbow deep in [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and I very much enjoyed it. Turns out my first draft isn't a shitty abomination at … Continue reading Friday 13th
And the reading has begun …
Yep, I'm reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima] for the first time as an entire story. So far so good. 🙂 It's always interesting what I have in my head that could be issues compared to what is written. I was pretty sure that I'd skimped on some details/description and whatnot. So far, I have not. That's … Continue reading And the reading has begun …
It’s over rover …
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!
