I haven’t posted for a while. I kept my focus on completing another task. When I have an idea for a book I sit with an old fashioned writing pad and a fountain pen, and I let the ideas flow. Sometimes when I look back I can’t read my notes as I was writing soContinue reading “Catching up”

Research!!
Continuing with my writing of the latest book – Fairy Hanny and the Sons of Turenn. Looking back at the things I referred to yesterday as I worked on the latest chapter… Other words for Turd… Lyrics to Nature Boy… Spelling of Diarrhoea… Lots of possible variations!

Latest!
I am working on my third story featuring the beautiful Fairy Hanny. As I worked through the latest chapter I found I was researching a lot of things, including @The Whore of Babylon’ and a ‘Lakeland Rill’. I also had to check my spelling a lot as my mind moves a lot faster than myContinue reading “Latest!”
Guilt
We have had a few public holidays here in UK. I celebrated by drinking lots of wine. And I feel guilty. I suppose I have little choice as I was brought up Catholic. By the time I was seven years old I had been convinced that it was my fault that Jesus had been nailedContinue reading “Guilt”

Hanny is still the heroine, despite the shenanigans of Ken Tucky and Wayne Downe, the two Elfs of some renown. They speak ElvisContinue reading “Another adventure for Fairy Hanny”
Stay focused
I’ve been reading a lot recently about motivation, inspiration and focus. I’ve also been thinking a lot about my past, missed opportunities and some of the crazy things I’ve said and done. Now I am forgiving myself so I can move forward with my writing, teaching and online business. That might explain why this memeContinue reading “Stay focused”
Just do it!
Today I was talking with an old friend about creativity. She had just had an argument with her mother along the lines of ‘why don’t you get a real job’. Anna is an artist I met in Almaty. We have been friends for almost 8 years now. She is planning 6 new exhibitions this year,Continue reading “Just do it!”
