If you write like I do and the end rushes towards you, there isn't much choice but to write and keep writing until the finish line. Because I never know what the finish line looks like, that bit is a lot of fun for me. Probably the most fun of the initial first draft phase. … Continue reading When the end rushes towards you …

Temptation, writing, & sunshine.
For the first time in a long time, I think I will finish my notebook before I finish this book. Usually, I have a few pages left for notes when I do the first read, but, not this time. I don't think I've written more notes than usual. Maybe my notes are messier. We're dipping … Continue reading Temptation, writing, & sunshine.
They’re not just pretty.
So, you know how I'm apparently creating a Visual Bible for the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series.

But someone … Continue reading Procrastination level: expert

Somebody pour me a drink
It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink
Something is coming …
Something is coming out of Upper Hutt. Not loud. Not flashy. Not announced with confetti and balloons. Something quieter than that. And far more dangerous. Politics kills. Secrets kill faster.
