I've had a cold and it is hanging around. The result is me being a little miserable so I have decided to list the good things in my life this week... Went to tap dance yesterday and didn't fall over. (You may laugh but it is great exercise and a giggle. I do about 3500… Continue reading Why today is a good day.

Life!
Finally I get into the workshop after a busy morning. Firstly I realise that the bread I'm eating is making my tummy upset. This is a bit of a bother as it's the only bread I've found without palm oil in (I'm a little allergic to it). So I have kneaded and now got four… Continue reading Life!
Canvas!
I have bought some. I'm going to try to produce some Welsh Life canvases for the next exhibition in August... I've got the ones which have an extra depth so that the drawing around the side will show really well. Now I just got to decide what to draw. And to stop being so scared.… Continue reading Canvas!

Surprising…
Have you ever had a character take you by surprise? Yesterday my hero drugged my heroine. Didn't see that coming....
The last third of a novel
I don't write long novels, at least not usually but the one that is on the computer at the moment is turning out to be longer than I anticipated. So the question I find myself asking is whether to cut it and write it in two parts. Normally I write books between the 60k and… Continue reading The last third of a novel
Shopping dilemma
Went to the shops today for a canvas... Came back with a bed spread. Not even I can work that one out.
Websites and cakes…
That was my choice today. To continue with the website or to bake a cake. I must admit the cake almost won. But then I looked in the cupboard and saw I had a mix for chocolate brownies. They won't take five minutes to make so I had to choose the website. Why the sudden… Continue reading Websites and cakes…
