The first week of school holidays is almost over – too bad the gorgeous girl and I have spent much of it housebound, struck down again by the bug that just won’t go away. However, modern medicine and good old-fashioned rest seem to be doing the trick, as we are both feeling better and actuallyContinue reading “A Friday Update”

Empty Cup
I’ve been feeling a bit empty, words-wise, these last couple of days. It’s always how I feel when I finish a book, even if I have other ideas on the go. I welcome the feeling though, for it’s how I can tell that I’ve completed the story. I finished book three, Hills and Valleys, andContinue reading “Empty Cup”
Time To Edit

I’ve already written it and am now at the structural edit stage –Continue reading “Drawn To Life”

It came to me complete, and was just the scene I was looking for. Hills and Valleys is already written, asContinue reading “Spin Like The Spider”
Breathing Out
I’ve been in a bit of a blog lull this week. This usually happens to me after I’ve finished a big writing project – it’s as though my mind needs a few days to rest before it can get back to the business of working with words again. I think it’s entirely natural, really. YouContinue reading “Breathing Out”
