Find your centre... That is the best advice I have ever been given. Find that place where you are you and relax into it. The first time I tried I laughed. Where I'm me? But I'm always me... It made no sense. I get frustrated at language and not being able to put the words… Continue reading Centre

Jiggle
I jiggle. There isn't a lot I can do about it. I have been larger than I am now. A lot larger, but oddly I am never aware of my weight until I start to lose it. Then I feel vulnerable. Then I feel fat. Up until then it is as if I don't care.… Continue reading Jiggle
Glitter
I actually have some... I don't know why but in my bag is a tub of green glitter. Thinking about it I went as a witch to the last Halloween. I think it may be a lost soul from that. Oddly though I didn't use any. So it just sits. Wasted. Sometimes I wonder if… Continue reading Glitter

The two editions are now ready to be published and I hope to do that before the end of next week! The colouring book needs two final… Continue reading Update
Heard
Have you ever listened to rumor? I do, but I try not to take any notice. And I do google my name with things like bad and negative comments next to it. I suppose it is in us all to see the worse easier than the best. I saw this on Facebook today: And I realised… Continue reading Heard
Clean
It's a clean getaway... I mean, when I first started the picture book project I didn't understand how I was going to do it. I knew what it had to look like, but the whole concept of self-publishing a picture book is a hugely worrying thing. How big should it be? How do I make… Continue reading Clean
