I’m doing better after a rest
What is WordPress doing with the size of it’s fonts though? I feel like it does it just to throw me off. My rib is partially recovered, I can now get out of bed without making dying NPC noises. Somehow I still feel super tired, but I have ended up staying up too late a…

Almost always
All the time, actually. I can only think of a few things that I’ve passed up which might have been better to do than my goals. Namely, one very sensible factory job which I might have been better off sticking with than finishing my third year of university. The thing is, I really wanted to…

Aw, you guys =)
There are 90 of us now! I know there are a couple of other people who come to read my blog from FB and whatnot, but I can’t believe 90 people signed up to listen to me prattle away about trying to be a writer. It means a lot. So thanks, WordPress buddies. And also…

I’m desperately trying to distract myself from editing
There’s only a teeny bit left to do, I can totally make it. There’s just such a lot of editing, isn’t there? It never ends. I’ll go and do it, in just a minute. I’ve already spent most of the day pacing, drinking coffee and contemplating biblical prophecy. I don’t know if that’s a useful…

Does everyone else know MXTX?
Mo Xiang Tong Xiu is quite a well known writer. I think she’s Chinese but she’s difficult to search up. All I found just now was a rumour that she’s in jail. I don’t think she is. She’s one of the reasons I enjoy writing. I don’t think I had as much momentum before I…

Oh my, what did I do?
I think that my mind blocks out certain details of some of my books. This could be a good sign, in that they’re supposed to be scary and thus, maybe people would naturally forget the scary parts. It’s been quite a shock reading, ‘The Girl from the Basement’ again. I did in fact, completely forget…

You may have wondered why I wrote a review
It’s true that (Has WordPress changed the ruddy font sizes again? Have some respect for my rheumy old eyes, would you?) I’ve flirted with the idea of writing a review of some kind in the past. But I havn’t done it. So why now? Well, funny you should ask. A few days ago I received…

I have good news, and bad news
The good news is that my book Only Until Midnight is now fully set up for preorder, it’s here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTYK6SWK I really thought that I’d be able to link the paperback, but I guess, even though it’s there, it’s invisible for now. But that’s all done. The bad news is that I’m still ill, and…

I’ve been taken out
By a really awful cough. I slept through last night but the two before were very difficult. The child is coughing now too, so I’ll probably have to look after her while I recover, but that said, she rarely gets very ill. Also, it’s a leap year this year. I havn’t updated my blurbs yet,…

I forgot my own name once
I realised I’d done it when I was on a bus. It was because my Husband’s family use a nickname for me, which nobody else does. It’s the one which is easier for kids to say, and my dad uses it, but my friends usually call me Mickey. My husband doesn’t really use my name,…
