A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary

Yesterday, as I usually do on a Wednesday, I put together my latest Wednesday Wander post and hit Publish. But a funny thing happened. While my dashboard assured me that the post was, in fact, published, when I clicked the link to view it all I got was: Oops, this page doesn’t seem to beContinue reading “A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary”

Thank You

It’s evening. The time of day when I’m usually working (other than during the day, when I’m at work). Working, over the past few months, has been editing and formatting and writing, leaving not much time for blog posts or visiting around. I did write a short post the day before yesterday, with some updatesContinue reading “Thank You”

Maiden Mother Crone, Part 8 – Farewell

So this was it. The final stop on my weekend with the Silent Eye, not far from where it had begun for me, two days earlier. We were very close to Aberdeen airport, but, other than the occasional plane or helicopter overhead, you wouldn’t have known it. We were standing on high ground overlooking aContinue reading “Maiden Mother Crone, Part 8 – Farewell”

A Ramble In More Ways Than One

I missed my Wednesday Wander this week! Not because I didn’t have anywhere to write about, but because I’ve been deep into Ambeth these past two weeks, doing a fine toothcomb edit of Under Stone, the fourth instalment in the series. The story has taken me over again and I’ve been immersed fully into it,Continue reading “A Ramble In More Ways Than One”

How Pinterest Boosted My Blogging Stats (with a little help from my friend)

Even though I’ve been blogging for three years now, I’m still finding my way around some of the other social media platforms. There are so many it can be difficult to find time to work across all of them, especially if you want to, you know, actually get some writing done. One platform I’d beenContinue reading “How Pinterest Boosted My Blogging Stats (with a little help from my friend)”

The Bloggers Bash – 2017!

This time last week my bag was packed, my outfit chosen, and I was looking forward to attending another Bloggers Bash. I’d decided to stay over this year, as in previous years it all seemed to end too quickly, conversations cut short as the day flashed by. And I’m so glad I did. The dayContinue reading “The Bloggers Bash – 2017!”

Mad March

I was a bit absent from blogland last month. I seem to be saying that a lot this year, mainly because my work situation has changed, but I was still finding time to check in every once in a while – at least until March came along. But what a month it was! I can’tContinue reading “Mad March”

Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris

It’s my birthday in a few weeks’ time, and I’m very excited about it. Not so much for the event itself – I mean, I still quite like birthdays, but they do seem to be adding up in recent years. The reason I’m so excited is that one of my best friends from Australia isContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris”

Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!

It’s the last day of the year and so, as is tradition, I’m taking a look back at my blogging year. Oh, I won’t be sharing stats or anything like that – rather, just revisiting some popular posts and summing up my 2016 blogging experience. For it has been an experience indeed! This year I’veContinue reading “Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!”

Writers In The Attic, Friends Around The World

Today I’m quite honoured to be visiting author Louise Allan’s blog, as part of her Writers in the Attic series. Please do pop over and take a look, and also check out some of the other writers featured in the series – each of them have a story to tell, whether it’s about how theyContinue reading “Writers In The Attic, Friends Around The World”
