Yes, that is a Bon Jovi song. I'll probably put it at the end so you can listen. 🙂 Today is my best friend's birthday. We've known each other longer than 40/45 years ... we have the sweatshirts it's a real thing. Just go with it. She is (and always has been) the sister I … Continue reading Just Older

Just sit with it …
Occasionally a story has a mind of its own. When that happens there is no point forcing the story onto the path you've chosen. Sometimes you just need to sit with it. Plant yourself in the mess and watch. Let it do what it wants. See what happens. You've got nothing to lose. Words are … Continue reading Just sit with it …
“I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
Any Bon Jovi fan knows, exactly what words are missing from today's blog title. 🙂 I am listening to Bon Jovi (imagine?) this morning, trying to find some energy for today. I need energy today for another long walk. That's six in a row. I am tired. Anyway, I did get some writing done this … Continue reading “I ain’t gonna be … in the crowd”
Promised Land
No secret that I love me some Elvis. Promised Land is way up there as one of my favourite songs that Elvis sang.Today was a really fun day. Always lovely to have a visit from Anne Barwell, one of our fabulous authors. Then, we had the filming for the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards. Much … Continue reading Promised Land
I’d Die For You
You might recognise the blog title as a Bon Jovi song. I will add the playlist at the end, it's one I made for my birthday last year. I have a feeling it'll come in handy this December as well. 🙂 So, anywho, writing. Do you think I can finish book 4 in 11 weeks? … Continue reading I’d Die For You
The struggle is real …
Sometimes the struggle to carve out writing time is painfully difficult. Kinda where I am at the moment. I know I need to finish [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] and I really like the story, it's great fun to write. I just can't seem to force my backside into a chair and get it done. It's so … Continue reading The struggle is real …
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in. Hmm. I was typing and half the screen slid sideways. I suspect my website is having a moment! Definitely seems that way. Oh well, never mind, how sad. Today was all about the alphabet until I got tired of it. If you've ever put books, already on a shelf, in … Continue reading Welcome to my world
How do you write?
Quite the question really. I'm always fascinated by how other authors do their thing. I know how I write. I know how stories come together for me. I know to trust my process because I've learnt to trust how my mind works. (Learnt is the correct word, I'm not American.) Doris was watching me work … Continue reading How do you write?
Did you miss the memo?
I feel like a bunch of people did miss a memo. 🙂 There will be NO crime writing course via Writers Plot Bookshop unless it is during the week. I cannot walk any more than I already am, in fact, it's the very last thing I want to do. If you don't get that then … Continue reading Did you miss the memo?
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 …
