I wasn’t expecting a bombshell yesterday, but that’s what I got. Why is it that every time I think I am getting somewhere, something always happens to smack me upside the head? This year I have been busy upgrading our books. New covers and blurbs and a thorough pass through Grammarly when it occurred to…

Characters Sometimes we base our characters on ourselves. Our feelings and opinions manage to transfer to these hollow people, slowly bringing them to life. But what about our baddies? Does this mean that we all have nasty hidden traits like psychopaths or serial killers? I love writing about villains, whether they are all bad or…

Friday Thoughts… I think this year began badly for everyone, as we were still shell-shocked from all that had gone before. I thought most of it had gone though, hadn’t it? This was a brand new year. Time to get cracking and shake off the residue of misery and frustration. It took nearly three months…

Image by Christoph Schütz from Pixabay I love macro photography, but finding really good images can be difficult sometimes. Up close and personal, it can be difficult to know what you are looking at. I know what this image is, but do you?

That is the question… At the end of last week, I summoned up a ton of enthusiasm for my so-called writing life and the future of my current WIP. I say so-called, for it hasn’t amounted to much so far this year. There have been a few lively patches of activity, which I thoroughly enjoyed,…

Image by John Hain from Pixabay At this time of year, we usually talk about the new year and what we might expect or plan to do with it, but honestly, for once we cannot be asked. We will carry on as normal, rather than waiting to see if it will be worth getting out of bed. I…

At the beginning of 2022, I had the overwhelming notion of cultivating something. Something I had never had much luck with before. I chose tomatoes. I had always wanted to do this, but previous efforts had always failed for one reason or another. This time, I was sure we would grow our own tomatoes. I…
