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 …
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
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?

It’s been a minute …
I was thinking it’s been a minute since I’ve given away a fabbo prize pack.What’s better than snuggling up with a book and other goodies in winter?(Clearly, me snuggling up with My Knight would be better, but it’s not about me.)How hard should we make this?Yeah, that’s what I thought.I’ll keep my codes to myself … Continue reading It’s been a minute …
Am I writing?
I am, just not as much as I should be!I did get permission to use a couple of friends as characters and yesterday I wrote 2K. So it is happening just not fast enough. It annoys me when I can't seem to carve the time to write because I know I can, I'm just not. … Continue reading Am I writing?
Waiting, writing, wondering.
Today is a super shite weather day. It's been raining heavily for two days.And this ... I think Diesel knows when I'm going to get a migraine before I do. I noticed a wee while ago that he sits behind me sometimes when I'm in the kitchen doing dishes or baking. I used to say … Continue reading Waiting, writing, wondering.
