It was a good gig on Friday night at the band’s original local. There was a great crowd with even a few surprise guests, which made it all the more…

After I’d finished work on Thursday, I took my pile of short story notebooks into the living room to do some more consolidating, and I think I’m up to date…

I’d stayed up a bit late to get the short story submitted in time to the writing challenge, and that meant getting up late the next day as well. Once…

Most of Tuesday was taken up with the date work and getting all of that up to date. It didn’t finish at tea time, though. I had another webinar to…

The Scrivener/Save the Cat webinar wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but it was a free seminar and there was still some useful stuff in there. I just would have…

I hit the ground running yesterday and went straight into faffing… Pomodoros Don’t forget, these pomodoros are 50 minutes each rather than 25 minutes each, short breaks are 10 minutes,…

The dog disturbed me several times during the night and that meant I didn’t get as much sleep as I’d like. The poet manages to sleep right through all of…

The poet went into the office today, so that meant we were up earlier and that meant I was at my desk earlier. Pomodoros Don’t forget, these pomodoros are 50…

Can you believe it’s 10 January already? Time flies ever quicker with each passing year. The dog didn’t get his twilight trot on Friday, or even his moonlight stroll. We…

We almost forgot to take the tree down on Thursday night, so it was a mad frantic rush to do that and pack away all of the decorations. The tree…

While tea cooked on Wednesday night, I sat down and caught up with the rest of the daily competitions that had built up over the previous few weeks. That meant…

New Kickstarter campaign On Tuesday evening an email came in from Kickstarter with news on the latest Dean Wesley Smith/Kristine Kathryn Rusch campaign: Fantasies Collide. I didn’t even know what…
