I wear glasses, a lot... In truth all the time. I am particularly blind without them. If you know about eyes then I have astigmatism, a squint and myopia. If you don't know eyes then I have nearsightedness, I can't see horizontal or vertical and if I get tired my right eye can look at… Continue reading Blur

Juicy
I'm getting to that bit in the novel where the action is about to pick up. I'm finding that I'm writing faster and faster, trying to finish. I need to know as much as you what my characters are going to do. Sure, I plan, but the plans are never complete. There is always room… Continue reading Juicy
Update
What's happening? Well, I have been working like mad to get the picture book finished as a physical book and as an ebook, and I have finally managed. 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.

There have been twenty five days in this year... That is all. Yet it feels like a lifetime since Christmas. I decided to list ten good things that are part of my life. Everything in the news is doom and gloom, in fact, some of what has happened to me has been pretty bad. But… Continue reading Ten
Devastation
On Saturday I woke at 4 am in anaphylaxis... I have a tree nut allergy and I had come into contact with walnuts the day before. I had thought it was under control. It had felt bad but I was fine. Coughing a bit but my parents are both full of cold so I thought… Continue reading Devastation

I have a project on the go. In fact, it has been in planning for ages. But I have just not been able to decide on a theme. Until now that is... I have booked myself into a fairytale fair so I have decided that my colouring book will picture popular tales and mythological creatures.… Continue reading Aesthetic
Marathon
I've been lazy... I took a couple of days off to reassess what I needed to do. I found that there was one thing I hadn't done! The artwork I have left over from Christmas was still languishing in a drawer... I hadn't uploaded it! So today I have just done a marathon upload... So… Continue reading Marathon
Capable
I think I'm capable. I think I'm practical. But at the same time I'm a creative and can spend the whole day working on something I have dreamed about. Last night I met up with a couple of mates and I got talking with another creative friend. The odd thing is that although we make things… Continue reading Capable
