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

She Didn’t Do Magic
Tuesday in the bookshop wasn't I thought it would be. Nope. Not at all. When I walked up this morning I had one thought on my mind. There's a scene in Vaporbyte when Ellie recognizes someone in a photo from a bar. And I needed to add a wee sentence. I know I needed to … Continue reading She Didn’t Do Magic

When the phone rings…
We'd just finished dinner and my phone rang.

Nice song to start a Monday. :)I did absolutely no writing this weekend - hardly even wrote a text … Continue reading Eye Of The Tiger

Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it. I pressed play, had no idea what I was listening to last - so, the Armageddon sound track was a nice surprise. 🙂 This song in particular has been a favorite for years. I've been hard at it over the last few days, making a lot … Continue reading I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
