There was a blog post forming when I woke up ... but then it slipped away. Probably a good thing.Anyway, next weekend my class is all about POV, characters, and dialogue. Hence the title of this blog. It's a Train song that describes a woman, called Virginia. We learn a lot about her from the … Continue reading Meet Virginia

Blindspot cross-over
Howdy. I've been binge watching Blindspot on Neon. I knew I'd love it. It's 100% up my alley. What I didn't realise was how much would be familiar to me, tech and also story wise. Clearly the writers had some serious fun with this series. Anyway, I was watching the other day and someone said … Continue reading Blindspot cross-over
The shitasticness of creativity.
I was talking about how writers minds work the other day, and how trusting yourself is important. How much a writer needs to trust their own brain to do what needs to be done. Some days are infinitely better than others in the trust department! Thing is, anything creative requires a certain amount of trust. … Continue reading The shitasticness of creativity.
Walls
Today, I was writing (imagine?). It's pretty fun, not gonna lie. Really enjoying Lure the Lie and getting inside Crockett and Ronnie's heads.

The more … Continue reading Walls

Sympathy for the Devil
Monday morning was spent moving furniture, because it is impossible to get all the seed husks and small feathers the birds drop, without moving EVERYTHING. So, the kitchen was pretty well gutted. It echoed mid-way through the process, which was a bit freaky!Turns out I'm quite allergic to seed husks and dust from seeds. Big … Continue reading Sympathy for the Devil
Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
So a few things this week, early July is a mixed bag with an anniversary that makes me smile despite the origin and an anniversary of an event that tore my life apart. That's enough in the first few days, right? But no, not this year ... now we have Byte Series pens!! Hooray!! (There … Continue reading Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it.
