If I had one wish, it would be for the ability to freeze time as I pleased so that I might stop and enjoy a book – whether an old friend or new adventure – whenever I felt the urge. I compiled a list of my most beloved books to add as a page here … Continue reading Beloved Books

Procrastination… or not
I found this on Facebook. A quick Google search suggests it can be found in this book: 'The Fire Starter Session: A Soulful and Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms' by Danielle LaPorte. I like the idea. It sounds good - makes my moments of procrastination less something to feel guilty about and … Continue reading Procrastination… or not
Naming things!
I struggle with names when I'm writing. ALL names - character names, place names, even coming up with the title is difficult for me. My latest short story (it's supposed to be short, but it keeps growing - stay short dammit!) is about faeries. Not little ones with big wings that sleep under mushrooms, but … Continue reading Naming things!
Nice Surprises :)
I have a notebook full or writing quotes... somewhere. I moved just over a year ago, and while I'm sure I've seen it since the move - for the life of me I can't remember where I put it, or where it might be. Nevermind - I have a record of most of them somewhere … Continue reading Nice Surprises 🙂

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!
I just learnt that today is Dr Suess's birthday in the US. (2nd March). He would have been 108 if he were still alive today. I love his books. I liked them when I was young, and my kids love them now. So to celebrate I thought I'd share some fantastic Dr Suess quotes: “Don't … Continue reading Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!
The Trials of Blogging; Beeswax; and What Happened in ‘The Pact’
My last blog entry, posted on 27th Feb, was actually written in early January. I was unsure as to what to write about, whether I actually wanted to blog or not, whether I could stay focused, committed. I saved it as a draft, figuring I'd get back to it. Needless to say, I did not achieve either … Continue reading The Trials of Blogging; Beeswax; and What Happened in ‘The Pact’
Books I want to read…
I've been trying to learn more about blogging - reading through forum posts on blogs, skimming (because that's all I feel I have time for) other people's blogs. I came across an interview with Thomas Keneally on Taiwanxifu's blog: http://taiwanxifu.com/2011/08/21/lunch-with-booker-prize-winning-author-thomas-keneally/ He is the author of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, a book that has intrigued me ever … Continue reading Books I want to read…
