If there is one important thing I have learned in my writing career, is that you need decent equipment to work with. Many years ago, in the beginning, when spending money on non-essentials just didn’t happen, I made do with any scraps of paper I could find to write my short stories on. I was…

Yesterday turned out to be a nightmare. From the moment I staggered across the office to my Windows PC, everything I touched went wrong, failed to load, or couldn’t be found. I am not a lover of technology, but as long as it does what it says on the tin, I can usually cope well…

Considering I am nowhere near as strong as I was, I have been rather busy of late. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love to be busy, but constructively, if possible. Well, that hasn’t been possible, even with the best will in the world. And I like to think my will is as good as…

After the hissy fit had almost fizzled out, I realised there were a few things I could still do, even without our own wi fi. (which died on Friday afternoon) I discovered a while ago that there was a way I could piggy back on someone elses wifi. With their permission of course. As…

Nostalgia for the past is lingering this week, a hangover from all those lovely memories we posted last week. The following image are negatives, I had to tape them to a window in order to photograph them… Living Light The aura, the living light that surrounds each living thing on the planet.…

I am not sure how it happened, but all I can do is offer everyone involved my heartfelt apologies. It may not even be my fault, what with Amazon ditching people’s reviews all over the place. This blogging business is sometimes very complicated and although I am an idiot even on a good day, I…

So, why do we blog?

We are constantly being told that reading more will make us better writers and that we should blog with enthusiasm to build up our presence on the web. But I find that some of the things we need to do seem counterproductive and time-consuming. Don’t get me wrong, reading does make me think,…

Lost Property Word Office Words are funny things really and I had a funny thought about them the other day. When we delete words or have them deleted by our magical computers, where do they go? Is there a place, like a lost letter office, that files them away somewhere, ready to be…

Do you know where the stories you write come from? What if they have already happened in some other reality, time or space we know nothing about? What if that is where it really comes from? It reminds me of the saying to be careful what you wish for, so maybe we should be…

The BT engineer has just left, after restoring my wi fi signal! The last three days have been miserable, even though I determined to stay busy. I have caught up with a pile of editing, and parts of my house have never been this clean. I haven’t looked to see how many emails have arrived…
