I was thinking back to when I started writing Swan Song, my latest detective mystery, and how it was supposed to answer all the questions I had at the time. That by sorting out the problems my detective, David Snow had, I would probably sort my own. We were both fast approaching our own swan…

More ups and downs yesterday, but nothing disastrous. At least, I didn’t think so until late in the afternoon when we were attacked. Something called Mcafee rushed to tell me we had just been attacked by seven viruses. One phone call to Eset, our security system, soon sorted that out. This was after a very…

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday, slowly managing to Summer prune most of my bonsai. So good to feel useful again… Enjoy your Sunday, folks… a lovely new week begins tomorrow! Jaye 💕

For a long time now, I have been searching my barely functioning brain for any inspiration that always used to be lurking in there somewhere. This may or not be a good idea, as the pressure in my head gets worse every day, but it’s what I need to find, so it will just have…

I almost deleted our website yesterday, as I was so tired of the endless struggling and getting nowhere. I knew something had to give, and thought it would be me. Still could be me, I suppose. I was quite prepared to struggle on, trying to make everything work, but sadly, this doesn’t seem…

The garden tap has been leaking for weeks. I feel guilty every time I turn it on, and I have been desperate to get around to fixing it. The first thing I did was look for a replacement on Amazon, as ours might be beyond repair. I even ended up sending for two, but on…

I wanted to be silent today too, as I didn’t want to share bad news anymore. I have been trying to relax, do what I can manage, pottering around at my own speed, which these days, is snail’s pace. I am terrified of falling again, and although I make sure to move slowly, there are…

Sometimes I lie awake in the middle of the night and wonder what I am doing. I know what I think I am doing, but what am I actually accomplishing? Sometimes, I think writers are ill-equipped to step outside of their writing world to become successful businesswomen. I imagine you would need a severe dose…

I am still struggling to get my thoughts in order, and this thing in my head is not helping. I want to feel relieved that help might be on the way, but for some reason, my mind won’t rest. I must admit to allowing this, as I am too tired to argue with anything. Even…
