Saturday Reviews…
Time to catch up on my reading, and these two kept me company during some of the worst times… It’s Christmas in Lyme Regis, and DC Tina Abbott is looking forward to some well-earned time with her family. But then her mum Annie, true to form, reports a crime. The pottery shop has been broken…

Moving On…
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…

There is always a better way…
Write, a brand new idea from WP, could be just what the writer ordered. Still in its early beta stage, but I love the simplicity of the clear screen . I am looking forward to using Write for all my posts!

Can AI be helpful?
I just spent a very confusing hour with the WP AI assistant.’They can sometimes be helpful with sorting out complicated problems, but on occasion, they don’t seem to know any more than I do. I used them last week in desperation, to change the layout of a page, and they followed my…

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…

Bonsai Sunday…
For several weeks now, I have not been able to galvanise myself to do anything much. For some reason, my enthusiasm and also my duty of care has been missing. My brain has been trying to opt out of any enthusiasm for anything, and I have hated every minute. This has been a strange state…

Creating a post is taking longer than usual, so I found myself looking through the folder that holds some of my sister’s best poems. Always inspirational at the best of times, her poems were like a soothing balm this morning. I couldn’t choose which one, so you can enjoy them all, as I did… Always…
