Stand By Me
I've been almost AWOL, I know, remiss. Once upon a time, I would've apologised but I shan't.It's been busy over here. I'm trying to get [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] finished. I've got six weeks and three days to have a book that's ready to go to my lovely editor. Yeah, it can't be the first draft, … Continue reading Stand By Me
Bona fides not established
There's a bit of a flurry of writing happening at the moment. Mostly because I need this book finished in 8 weeks. Yesterday I went back over the 22 chapters so far and wrote backwards outlines. I was convinced I had no idea what was happening and who was doing what so it was time … Continue reading Bona fides not established
Just Older
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
I’d Die For You
You might recognise the blog title as a Bon Jovi song. I will add the playlist at the end, it's one I made for my birthday last year. I have a feeling it'll come in handy this December as well. 🙂 So, anywho, writing. Do you think I can finish book 4 in 11 weeks? … Continue reading I’d Die For You
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 …
Time in a bottle …
13 days until [Leave a Message] launches. Although the hardback and paperback are already live on Amazon - there was no way around that, I wanted author copies for the bookshop. Usually, I get my printing done in Auckland. Keep it all in NZ. But I needed to save some money so I opted to … Continue reading Time in a bottle …
Sometimes When We Touch
If you're wondering why I chose this Dan Hill song as my blog title ... I've always loved it. Lucky you! https://open.spotify.com/track/1nAexCn3dPoFSmE7h6P5S7?si=0a80a434baa74763 It's two sleeps until My Knight walks through the door. :)Yesterday I had to battle Amazon just to get author copies of [Leave a message] delivered to NZ from Oz. Today I received … Continue reading Sometimes When We Touch
Drowning in the deep.
Twitter has been interesting the last few days. My former editor from the now-defunct Rebel ePublishers was tweeting a few of us. Our relationship goes way back to 2009. Jayne Southern is the best editor, she's truly fantastic. She made us all so much better. Her sense of humour and care kept me going more … Continue reading Drowning in the deep.
All Summer Long.
Bit of a country music afternoon happening here. Seems perfect for a sunny Easter Sunday. Summer is almost properly over. The smoke tree is slowly turning red.I've mucked about with print and ePub formatting and fiddled with a few sentences in [Leave a message]. I have pages of handwritten scenes to type into the new … Continue reading All Summer Long.
