I’m going to add a “Fun Stuff” area to my website. One of the things I’ll be adding is jigsaw puzzles of some of the photos from my photo gallery pages. Not sure what else will be going up there yet, maybe some “Free” short stories, crossword puzzles or word search puzzles.
Like I said… Fun Stuff!
When I get it finished, I’ll post the news here so keep checking back.
Ain’t she purdy?
Picked her up tonight after work. Think I’m going to call her Black Beauty but not sure yet.
I have heard the phrase “once you go black you never go back” so we’ll see how true it ends up being.
Oh baby oh baby…
I can honestly say I’ve gotten more writing done today than in a very long time. I have my novel, Sarah’s Gift, broken up into 3 chapter files. I’m happy to say, I finally got out of the chapters 1-3 file today, worked through the addition of scenes in chapters 4-6 and am now in chapters 7-9. Woo hoo!!!
Saw this link on the BBC news (Wales) site this morning. I fit the grandmother criteria. Just not the age. Hopefully, I’ll get the call before then. Yowzers! Here’s the link to the article…

This is the subject of the next 250 word prompt from my local writers’ group. I’ve got an idea in mind so I’ll see what comes of it when the time comes to write it.
Have a couple of other writing priorities that need attending to first.
I’ve found out the deadline has been extended to July 1st. Can I do it? I’m thinking the first 25-30 pages of the manuscript are pretty clean (just need to get rid of some “notes to self”) so it’s just a matter of working on the synopsis. Depending on how long it ends up being, is how many pages of manuscript I’ll be able to include.
We’ll see what happens. I’ve got until Thursday.
It was good to see everyone in the formal setting of our group. Not that it’s formal by any means. There were a few missing faces and one that was able to come back for today.
Our guest speaker was Carol Williams, author of Emma Field Book 1 and Book 2. She gave an interesting talk on the role of women over the years – especially those who dared to break the “mould” and attempt to change things as far back as the 1840s.
Ah, it’s been a long time. I’ve missed the last two months because I was attending writing workshops – one in Kingston with a fellow writers’ group member and one in Sudbury, which I turned into a long weekend and visit with family.
It’s going to be good to see everyone and get back into the groove. As I mentioned in a previous post, I kept in touch with the group via our monthly writing prompts. I’ve not got a clue what to write for the one for tomorrow War and Peace. So I think I’m going to run with scissors and not do one at all. After all, they’ll have me in person! And besides that, we’ve got a guest speaker coming in to speak to us.
I’ll write again after the meeting with a recap of the mornings’ events.
Was at work yesterday afternoon when the earthquake hit. The building shook under our feet (my office is on the 2nd floor) for about 30 seconds. Kind of an eerie feeling. Different than when the building vibrates in the winter during snow removal. Different than when a tractor-trailer is left running outside the building.
So it was a bit like a James Bond martini – shaken not stirred.
