I have a condition with my eyes that means the sun is just a little brighter and colours just a little sharper. It used to show in my art. People would look at the picture and say - where is that blue? I'd point and say - right there. They'd just smile and pat me… Continue reading To see too much

A change…
I have two computers. A laptop and a desktop. The laptop comes with me everywhere and the desktop sits in the study. The old study. Before we built the workshop I worked out of the box room in the house. It was a little cramped. And a little cold, but it was all I had.… Continue reading A change…
I have an idea…
Basically I want to write a serialized story, told from one person's point of view. Kind of like '24' but in a blog format. Once it's finished I'll publish it. The blog would be updated once a week or more and would tell a fictional story in real time. A disaster story. I don't have… Continue reading I have an idea…
Trying to face my fears…
I am trying... It is hard. The worst of my fears is success. I have always been afraid of it. In fact, in the past I could even say I have sabotaged my own work in order not to succeed.

No worries and phrases I use.
I have been working on a novel and, being a large piece of work, there are a number of characters. All of them are different sizes and shapes, with separate personalities and different ways of speaking. The daily prompt has asked what phrasing you use all the time. And there is one - no worries.… Continue reading No worries and phrases I use.
Tea and biscuits.
"How long?" Sasha said, hardly believing what the man had said. "Six hours," he said, with a nasal voice that made Sasha want to ask him to speak up. Although at the moment she felt like grabbing his perfect blue uniform and screaming at him that he had to be joking. The man wasn't even… Continue reading Tea and biscuits.
Editing….
If only I could write without needing an edit... *sigh* I hate editing. But the first 8 chapters of the next book needs working on. So I'm going in. I may be a while. Perhaps I need tea first. Is that an avoidance strategy? Possibly. But tea always helps.
