I’ve been inking
Inking, with inks. I’ve started a drawing of Lady Eliza. I suppose I’ll have to post about it when it’s finished, really. Since I can’t show it until it’s done. It’s been fun though. I got myself a glass pen and inks for my birthday but I haven’t found the time to use them until…

Getting my procrastination out of the way
Okay, so the start of this horror is taking it’s time to form in my head. I think I’m, maybe going to have to let it happen. My idea of just naming every character Becky just isn’t going to work, so I will have to build them up as individuals with goals and beliefs and…

How about a little flirting?
CAUTION: Do not attempt to flirt with vampires, it’s a bad idea. I’m not encouraging it. Okay, Melanie has only just been sent the full manuscript, but I thought you might enjoy this, considering how much I’ve been going on about Harry and the romantic scenes. Don’t worry, it’s not going to escalate until just…

A musing on the eternal fate of a vampire.
I’m half-way through this edit. It’s been painful, I knew that something about this book bothered me, but I didn’t know what it was. I think it was right in saying it was a lot of small things. There is so much dialogue in The Girl from the Basement. It’s got action and stuff too,…

I’m getting back into the Amazon ads.
While I’ve been ill, I’ve been able to concentrate for short bursts of time. I even managed to sit though a short SkillShare course on advertising. I don’t really know if I learnt anything from it, except that I need to click more buttons and look around a bit more when I attempt things. I’ll…

I think I’m just writing
I think everyone is a bit worse today, which is annoying. The little one was coughing all night and I don’t know if that made me feel more ill but now I’m coughing. It’s all very gross. The spouse was thoughtful though, bringing us back all the colds from England. Probably next year we won’t…

‘The Girl from the Basement’ Review
I was patient for almost 24 hours, but now I get to show you. This is Sherry Fundin’s review of book three, and the first proper review, I believe. I feel like this one is the one where the series starts to come together, so here goes. And you can check out Sherry’s blog, Fundinmental,…

A lost and found journal
I don’t know if this is amusing or not, I suppose it is to me. While I may have misplaced my diary, my character Abbey has found a journal in the woods (I can’t remember when I wrote it, except that it was before I realised I can’t find mine.) I don’t know if that…

I cleaned my keyboard/ kinda want snails
I know that really, this is not an achievement. I happened to catch sight of my keyboard in different light yesterday. It was a disaster, so dusty, and I’m wondering about getting a little brush, or maybe a tiny vacuum cleaner and taking that full Gattica approach. As it was, I had a damp sponge…
