C.S. Wilde challenged me to two sentence story... So here it is and here's the link so you can have a go as well: The lights were getting brighter behind her, but Liv had no where to go except down. Giving a small sigh she moved her feet through the mud at the cliffs edge… Continue reading A challenge!

Those voices…
I've just finished watching a series called 'River'. It's a great story that revolves around a man who hears voices, and sees them... As I was watching a rabbit in armour was sitting on my shoulder and screaming a war cry, whilst a woman was crouched in the corner of the room crying because life… Continue reading Those voices…
What? A new coping strategy…?
In a few days I am going to be forty and I thought that I knew all I could about my mental disability. I mean, I thought that there was no way it could throw up any more surprises, but I guess I was being a little naive. So I have been ill, I'm okay… Continue reading What? A new coping strategy…?
How serious should I take this?
I have been worried about my word count. Life has been getting in the way and I'm about 3000 words behind with Nanowrimo. I find myself sinking into the ever increasing circle of doubt and sadness. I know that there are other things that are acting on me. I have had yet another cold and… Continue reading How serious should I take this?
Word counts and trying to reach them
I'm doing Nanowrimo this year. It's my third go and this time, so far, I'm on track. I ought to mention that I have never been able to reach the end, never hit that word count. Last year I was 30,000 words adrift. So what am I writing this year? The Gone 2 - Evolution… Continue reading Word counts and trying to reach them
Where is the time going?
I have to get my act together... I have so many books waiting to go out and others waiting to be written. I have found myself at an impasse with Nomura which could mean that I struggle through it, squeezing the words from my consciousness, or that I pop it away for a little while.… Continue reading Where is the time going?
WIP
Well, 'Nomura' is coming along well. I am four chapters in and I've just broken the fifteen thousand word barrier. I'm guessing that the book is going to be longer than I thought. I'm still optimistic that it will be out for the end of November... My heroine is growing and in her own bumbling… Continue reading WIP
Just a reminder…
I am terrible at marketing. In fact, I'm worse than terrible - I forget. I write a book and then I go on to the next project... But I really ought to give a shout out to the books already out there. So this is for 'The Gone'... You can get this title for kindle… Continue reading Just a reminder…
Getting the facts right
I should have checked. My heroine is on a yacht one day out of the Canary Islands and I thought I'd write in a stranded scuba diver... It makes sense if you have the whole story - honest. So, I'm talking it over with a friend and he says - Nope. Wouldn't happen. Why not? I… Continue reading Getting the facts right
When momentum goes…
Life gets in the way... I find that I can be on a roll with the writing and then suddenly life happens. It can be something simple, food shopping or visitors, but by the time you sit back down the momentum has gone. Then it is like getting blood from a stone. That's where I… Continue reading When momentum goes…
