I woke up today with a head full of ‘should.’ Mondays often start that way – a list of things running through my mind, hopeful of accomplishment during the week, usually sadly disappointed. ‘Should’ is often ignored. Today, however, ‘should’ feels louder, and more urgent. It’s not completely a bad thing. There are, after all,Continue reading “A Head Full Of Should”

Writing Updates And The Snot Monster
Happy Friday, everyone! Just a quick update post, as my week has been thrown into slight disarray by a snot monster who has decided to take up residence in my sinuses. Blegh! Could be worse, though, I know that. Streaming eyes and the fact that the front of my face feels as though it’s aboutContinue reading “Writing Updates And The Snot Monster”
Of Blackberries and Back To School
The gorgeous girl started back at school today. I know, it’s odd to start back on a Friday, but that’s how the school has chosen to schedule it this year (I think we get an extra day off somewhere else). And it’s kind of nice, in a way. Only one day at school means that,Continue reading “Of Blackberries and Back To School”
Summer Daze, Part II
Hello everyone! Summer is flying past and the gorgeous girl is back at school next week, which I cannot believe – where have the days gone? I know I’ve been quiet on the blog front (again) this past week, though I haven’t been completely absent. The lovely Suzie, over at SuzieSpeaks, reblogged one of myContinue reading “Summer Daze, Part II”
Summer Daze
Hi everyone! Just a quick update to say hello. I’ve not been around much in blogworld these past couple of weeks, as summer holidays are here plus we’re doing (another) renovation so I’ve not had a lot of time to spend online recently. I also want to welcome a whole bunch of new followers toContinue reading “Summer Daze”
The Stable Bow
July is almost over and, with it, another round of Camp NaNoWriMo. Don’t ask me why I signed up to do it a second time, but I did, and I’ve just hit my word count goal – yay! Over two months of writing – April and July Camp – I’ve ended up with 50,000 wordsContinue reading “The Stable Bow”
Take The Scenic Route
There are a lot of articles around these days about “Life Hacks’. Ways to do things quickly, so you can move on to the next thing and not waste any precious time. Some of them are actually pretty cool and useful, but at the same time I feel that, as the pace of life growsContinue reading “Take The Scenic Route”
It’s A Hot One
It’s hot. It’s wonderfully, sunnily, bees-buzzing-mightily, hot. Get-your-sunglasses, tie-a-hankie-on-your-head, hot. This is an unusual thing for the UK, in case you’re wondering. It’s an opportunity to be grabbed by both hands and enjoyed, as it may be taken from us without warning, not to return until July, or even August, of next year. There isContinue reading “It’s A Hot One”
Another Day…
Sometimes I struggle to make sense of this world. Lately, this seems to be happening more and more often. As a writer, it’s part of my job to get inside people’s heads, to figure out their motivations and tell their story. Yet I cannot for the life of me imagine the depth of pain andContinue reading “Another Day…”
Stuff And Nonsense
It may surprise you to know that I can be a bit of a hoarder. Even with all the moving I’ve done, there are still things that move from house to house in boxes and tubs then head straight into the loft or cupboards, unopened. Sure, some of them are sentimental items that I don’tContinue reading “Stuff And Nonsense”
