After a busy and lazy weekend we struggled to get up on Monday. And while I was having breakfast, I wandered off down another rabbit hole, this time watching a…

I took 2 days off last week, but that didn’t necessarily mean I didn’t do any work. Thursday morning we took the dog back to his humans. On the way…

Because I fell down a rabbit hole on Tuesday, I didn’t get around to yesterday’s blog post until yesterday. I collected and replied to some comments on my gardening post,…

The only thing I really worked on on Friday was The Secret of Whitehorse Farm. And even then it was only pre-writing. Everything else was on binder work in Scrivener…

Before I carry on, I’d just like to say IT’S PUBLICATION DAY! Paper Roses, a Wordsworth short, is out today! You can buy it from Books2Read/DianeWordsworth. Right, after I posted…

With nowhere to sit yesterday morning, because most of the living room furniture was stacked in the dining room and I couldn’t get to any of the dining furniture, the…

Our internet is shocking at the moment. The entire village have been complaining, despite high-speed cables being laid beneath the roads in recent months. We’re getting all the upheaval of…

I forgot to mention in Friday’s post that on Wednesday the money I was owed by Vocal landed in my bank account. On Thursday morning, another job I did from…

I was a day behind all week on my blog posts, so when the poet finished his work on Wednesday and we decided to head home on Thursday, I didn’t…

We had a late night on Thursday, binge watching something on Netflix. Fortunately, it meant we were still up to watch one of the apparently best ever shows of the…

When I got up yesterday I was convinced it was Tuesday. I still had my story to write for 12 STORIES IN 12 MONTHS. But it was fine, I still…

I had such a leisurely start yesterday, not rushing or worrying. I mean, I had ALL day to write a story that was due in today, and I’d already done…

Monday morning began with me finalising the outline for THE MYSTERY AT HORTON EDGE on Story Plotter on my tablet, which I did straight after breakfast while still in my…

I skipped a few more regular daily posts over the past couple of days due to the September wrap-up, the Hello October, the book review, and the Take One Idea…

Today’s image was a free image from DepositPhotos. I liked it, even if I don’t know what’s in the glass… We both woke up with aches and pains everywhere yesterday….

On Thursday night I went to bed with a good feeling: I didn’t have to get up to do any work for anyone else in the morning, only me. That…

It’s almost as though I do this kind of thing for a living! We were up with the larks again yesterday because my car was booked in for what we…

We went out on Sunday to get me a long grabby thing (long-handled litter-picker) so that when I’m walking around the garden, I can easily pick up windfall apples and…

After our first trip to Durham, where I didn’t really organise myself properly, I think I’ve learnt some lessons because, so far, Ireland has been working quite well. We lost…

Today’s free image was so cheerful and energetic, I just had to use it. I love yellow. The poet was up bright and early to head back to the midlands….

After a bit of a rough night, we were up relatively early to take the poet to the dentist. He was full of cold (hence the rough night) and secretly…

After a late night on Sunday submitting the cosy mystery for the anthology, Monday started later than usual. Over breakfast, though, I dealt with emails, one of which had come…

Sunday was Father’s Day and I had up to 2 stories to write and a blog post. One of the stories, THE KNIGHT OF WANDS, had to be in by…

I’m not used to being in the house on my own yet and during the night on Monday/Tuesday, I woke up at about 3:30am thinking I could hear noises. I…

The dog very graciously waited until 6:30am on Friday morning before waking us up the first time. He went straight back in his basket and slept for another hour. Then…

Oh my goodness, what a late start we had on Thursday. We’d had a really rough night with the dog. He was all right in the end, but from 2am…

Image courtesy of Deposit Photos It’s free image day, hence today’s picture. I liked it, so I used it. How can I be writing Thursday’s blog post already? It seems…

I bought 2 books in the end from Amazon with my gift vouchers, earned playing games, and I still had £5.02 left. The books I bought were both writers’ guides….

Wednesday morning was even slower getting started than Tuesday morning, and I had a lot to do. I really couldn’t afford to fanny around. And yet, that’s what I seem…

We have a meal plan. Not because of any diet, but originally for budgetary purposes and now for variety. Plus, it’s easier if we don’t have to decide what to…

It started to rain during the night on Wednesday. I remember waking up and registering it and then going straight back to sleep. Instead of lying there listening to it!…

By the time I finished faffing on Monday it was midnight, so it was well after midnight when I closed the office down. I spent the next couple of hours…

We had a lovely meal on Tuesday night to celebrate the mother-in-law’s birthday. She was delighted to have her son, all of her grandchildren, and their partners and families together…
