I have been spending more time sitting on my writing chair lately, partly because that’s where I am happiest and partly because I am trying to ignore what’s going on in my head. There is no sign of the results of my recent scan, although I am not holding my breath. I already know I…

The weather doesn’t know what to do today, luckily I do! I am curled up on the couch, busy writing the last part of Swan Song! Jaye 💕

not just a garden plant… I have always been an honest person, but somewhere along the line, I have often found myself hiding from the truth. Just recently, I convinced myself that all my doctors were wrong. That if I exercised my socks off, I could be the person I used to be. And I…

Sharing the theme for my latest story with my favorite character, Detective David Snow, seemed like a brilliant idea at the time. I thought it would help both of us to cope and survive our current struggles. Maybe that was a little too optimistic, for I find that both of us are struggling worse than…

I spotted this little fellow in a neighbour’s garden the other day, and it reminded me of how much I love these Chinese lanterns, and that I really should grow some of my own next year! Last week was a very busy, complicated week. I was up to my neck in the current WIP, trying…

in #Fiction, books, inspiration, sharing interests nearly finished! I have always enjoyed reading books. Mostly for the sense of escapism involved. Somewhere you can forget about your own life and live someone else’s, albeit vicariously. It has been a blessing, sometimes more than at other times, depending on how my own life was going at…

At least, that’s what it felt like! The new medication (and all its promises) arrived early last week, and I grabbed it with both hands, eager for the relief it promised. Almost immediately, an extreme tiredness moved in and I found myself sleeping for almost 24/7. Thinking this was just the initial settling in, I…

Like the sapling in this image, my WIP is growing at last. As I neared the halfway point, I began to worry about the ending. I know that some authors usually have an idea, but I think I was relying on my protagonist, Detective David Snow, to come up with something. When I realised that…

I have finally found something to say that makes sense of the state of my head. I have been hovering over so many things lately, constantly wondering why I never seem to get around to finishing anything. My first thought was whatever it was wasn’t good enough. Not worth finishing. Then came all the excuses……

Looking Forward…

For some time now, I have spent my days trying so hard not to look backwards. This is not something I am guilty of in the first instance, so probably easier for me to do. But that doesn’t mean I have been looking forward either. Desperately avoiding depression, I haven’t been looking anywhere in particular.…
