This week feels a tad confused. My days are screwy. It'll even out. Meanwhile, I've had to move things around to make everything work. So everything is a day late! Anywho, that's not what this post is about. I have a question for Pages users. Have you tried 'Proofread'? If so, what did you think? … Continue reading Where to now?
[Whiskey Tango Foxtrot]
You wouldn’t believe it …
Life has been crazy, you know that if you've been here longer than five minutes, with all the crazy I fudged an ISBN. I put it into D2D and it's already been used. It's mine so, I guess I put the wrong name next to it in the file! It's easy to do. I get … Continue reading You wouldn’t believe it …
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
And on we go …
I was wandering through Substack this morning and not enjoying it at all. Far too much about the nonsense in the US. Far far too much politics for my liking. I want to escape from the bullshit not have it hit me in the face constantly. It's not that I don't care, it's that I … Continue reading And on we go …
Silence, sunshine, sorting.
I know you haven't heard from me in a while. That's because I am in Marlborough, in the inner Sounds with no internet except my data - and a tower that could be a lot closer! It's pretty annoying to be honest. I have two more foolscap folders to go through and either shred or … Continue reading Silence, sunshine, sorting.
Ch-ch-changes.
Magic hi jinx this morning. It disappears then returns. Guess that's why they called the station, Magic? And now my HomePods have turned the volume up themselves. So, weird. Anywho, [EMP] is moving along and I'm very much enjoying this first draft (so far). I like stories that have multiple facets - they entertain me … Continue reading Ch-ch-changes.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
Research fun.
'Every lie has a consequence. Every truth is a risk.'That is a tagline for [Lure the lie] (Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book 2). On Friday I spent most of the day reading legislation. There were a few things I wanted to know, or get clarity on. My questions were regarding the Intelligence and Security Act 2017. … Continue reading Research fun.
Maybe 2k, maybe more.
In an effort to not think about the new normal I have jumped into writing [Echo Mike Papa]. It was not my intention to start another story while [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor. But I did. I did and it's fun. It's escapism. In a few weeks My Knight will be home and … Continue reading Maybe 2k, maybe more.
And then …
The last two days were spent revising my teaching textbook and the workbook that goes with the crime writing course I teach. A minimum of 16 hours went into doing that. Everything is shiny and new. New formatting, new covers, new titles, new ISBNs, revamped content, and some new content.I have ordered myself a copy … Continue reading And then …
