Every time I go to write 'Good morning' my brain says "Good morning mothertruckers."It is a battle to type a simple good morning. Oddly, a few years back it was always 'Good morning Vietnam' that my brain liked to chuck out there. Anywho, how is everyone?Do you know what I completely missed due to sheer … Continue reading Right first time.

Strong coffee and mornings:
Last week was read an eBook week. Smashwords had a storewide sale. Jolly fun and all that. Everything is back to normal now. I noticed that killerbyte was downloaded a fair few times. Welcome to the world of Ellie Conway, new people. Lovely to have you aboard. 🙂 I'm feeling the pull to the new … Continue reading Strong coffee and mornings:
Not in the biggest hurry …
I really am not in a big hurry to get to the bookshop today. Mostly because I'm tired. I've been tired for months. I think it's just the times we are living in causing tiredness. A lot of people are tired. People are sick in all directions and dropping like flies.I've tested negative twice now … Continue reading Not in the biggest hurry …
That’s how strong my love is.
This year is a significant year for most of my closest friends and My Knight. It is also the Year of the Tiger (we're all tigers) but that's not the thing we're all celebrating this year. It's got me thinking about where I saw myself and where I am. Because at some point over the … Continue reading That’s how strong my love is.
Born this way.
Today is a home day. I got halfway to the bookshop but felt like shit so I turned around and walked home. What I thought was hayfever might not be. We'll see.Something cool happened last night. Bestie sent a photo of her partner wearing a Vaporbyte (purple) shirt, and she has one too! So now … Continue reading Born this way.
The BS neighbours
How was your Tuesday? This is how mine was:Home sick.Not-Neighbours bullshit kicked off about 9am.And carried on with even more losers turning up during the morning. Of course, Bog Mouth doesn't want to argue but argues constantly with Stupid Ben. She also low-key accused Stupid Ben of making the child sick because "she wasn't sick … Continue reading The BS neighbours
Road to nowhere.
Another week zapped by and here we are looking at another Saturday. I was supposed to be teaching crime writing today. It should've been the first lesson. But, Omicron has fucked that. About 40 classes were cancelled for Omicron related reasons. 😦 I get it though. To be honest with the muppet protest in the … Continue reading Road to nowhere.
What does it take?
What does it take to get authors who have their books in our shop to share social media posts we make? It's a serious question because I really want to know what it takes.Clearly, there is something I'm missing. It gets pretty frustrating when a post goes out and no one bothers to share it … Continue reading What does it take?
My patience is at an all-time low
Mostly because for whatever reason my wrist woke me up during the night and just will not quit being super fucking painful. Doesn't matter if I use it or not. Same same. It's annoying AF.Another month before I see the surgeon. Here's hoping he can fix the cartilage tear and the other few things that … Continue reading My patience is at an all-time low
I’ll Be Waiting
It's Tuesday. New Zealand went to RED at midnight on Sunday night. We cancelled our "Inside Quote Marks" event yesterday. Our authors are wonderfully supportive and kind, and all understand that this is how it has to be. I don't think I ever believed we would be able to run this event. I'm not overly … Continue reading I’ll Be Waiting
