Spring is nearly here!

Still editing Silverlocks – actually almost finished. Maybe another week and it will be good to go, and then I’ve just to come up with a cover pic.  I’ve done my pic for the Web page.  ‘Nuff said. Covid – we seem to be at or approaching the peak of Omicron and hope things will …

Silverlocks

I have done nothing!  I could argue that a writer is always working, even when not at the keyboard. I have been mulling over the listed house/ancient longhouse, but I’ve been totally immersed in Christmas preparations, eye treatments, getting my booster and ordering prezzies online.  No excuses now. Home front – downstairs loo is finished …

Working on Silverlocks

Ok, so I’ve started revising Silverlocks. This might be a bit slow because I’ve basically slapped her in a big old dilapidated house, which is a bit reminiscent of the house in 7 Snotties! These are the pitfalls.  I seem to have a penchant for poor but proud versus brass, no class.  Must do better. …

The Workmen

OK, so they arrived to install the downstairs loo (It’s a mobility thing)  Derek did a fine job fitting pipes and removing doors, but the chippie let us down and work ground to a halt until he found Paddy, who basically put a wall where the door had been and a door pretty much where …

Blender

Still learning Blender and have composed, if that’s the word, a scene for my cover. I’ve also sent a list of published works to my website guru. And it’s only 1pm…Oops, lunchtime! My latest published book, “Watershed” is on Kindle and tells of Fin, a beleaguered teen, who loses her parents, her job and her …

Upskilling

Learning Blender so I can do the cover illustrations myself and having great fun! Covid front- 88.4% vaccinated and an anti Covid pill in development. Home front – under stairs loo to be installed on Monday!

Editing

Sorted out my Kindle Author Page.  No excuse now for not completing editing and cover illustration on “Curse of the 7”.  Went over my Bio today and sent revised version to my web page guru, God bless her! Having thrown money at the little Honda, I’ve changed it for a littler VW Up. 1 litre …

Outdoor Lunch! Progress!

Decide to edit 7 Kids book (Independant reader 9-12yr old) instead of “I Don’t Do That” and work up to teens, adults, so I started on the Curse of the 7 Snotty Orphans. Actually got 25% of it done so far! Met the gang for outdoor lunch yesterday.  Great day!  Paid 196.69 for a replacement …

My Author Page

Ok. Serious editing and planning cover pic.  I need to contact Kindle about my Author Page. Lashing rain out there, so, having brought the car to JH Autos, I plan on doing at least 33% of my editing. At least. I have no excuse.  Good news on the vaccine front!  3/5 of my grown up …
