“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.” This post was inspired by Omar Khayam and is about the way my life, and just everything else, it seems, has changed lately. I…

I am so glad to have come to the end of a very dismal week. A week where I couldn’t quite get going, or know the reason why. A week where I have been doing a lot of thinking, trying to figure out the best way forward through the constant pain. I gave up a…

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…

The minute I opened my eyes this morning, I knew what had been bothering me for some time now. I had been wondering why everything seems so different these days. This year has been a nightmare for me, but I never once thought it might be me who ended up changing. When this thought occurred…

Mother Nature seems to be holding her breath at the moment. Leaves are not falling yet, but they won’t be long. Most of the leaves on my bonsai are already beginning to change into their autumn colours. The familiar smell of autumn greets me whenever I leave the house, that warm richness wraps around my…

I read an interesting article the other day about writer’s tendencies. That women writers tend to stick to subjects they are familiar with, and that male writers usually jump right in the deep end. I’m sure this isn’t entirely true, but it made me think about my current WIP. My previously talented detective’s life is…

There was I, finally getting to grips with the current WIP, when this idea came along and settled in my head. I tried hard to ignore it, as it seemed a bit complicated. I thought it could be something to consider after I finish Swan Song. Try as I might to ignore it, it would…
