Bit of a rant because I feel like I'm being stomped over and it is not pleasant.It would be nice to end the year with sales!I've given away more books than I've sold in the last few months. That's not sustainable in any shape or form. I think next year will be a year of … Continue reading Sometimes it gets to me:

Edits = author fun
Traditionally I turn edits around quickly and this time is no exception. My lovely editor sent the first round of edits yesterday arvo (Boxing Day). I didn't even mean to get stuck in, I was just having a look. A marked-up document is irresistible to me. They're done. That's how I operate. It's been a … Continue reading Edits = author fun

I learnt something …
So this week, I learnt something about myself that I didn't know (or didn't realise I knew?) but explains so much. When I read I don't see words I see images, we all knew that. I can see the words if I want to but that means I read each one and they don't create … Continue reading I learnt something …
Bite my head off.
Thank The Rolling Stones for today's title.I really like that song. In fact, I am enjoying 'Hackney Diamonds'.

I opened the "Scattered on Cloth" … Continue reading Bite my head off.

Exercise Putty
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
