A JOLLY GOOD BOLLOCKING

This time last week I got a decent bollocking. Two actually. First from my gorgeous girlie Steph the second from my wonderful sister in law. Both were adamant. Write more and for the love of god, and everything holy - post something! 

It has not been forgotten. 

Many things have come to pass over the past 12 months but the wheels are in motion and in the immortal words of Albert in the movie Hitch..."you can't stop this, you can't stop this." 

Watch this space.

PS - THANK YOU - to everyone of you that stops by here. Your ongoing support and messages are what constantly remind me that this madness is worth it.

THE POWER OF WORDS

I feel like I've found a mini-groove with writing over the past week. It has filled me with inexplicable joy to be tap, tap, tapping away at the keyboard once more - some days I've barely made it out of my pj's. Co-mmitt-ed (or lazy...you choose)

Want to have a laugh at my expense?

I penned a section today that has actually left me feeling a bit melancholic. I was telling Scott this evening while I stirred the spaghetti and the irony suddenly struck me. Hang on a second, I wrote this stuff, I actually made it up in my head what on earth am I getting so worked up about...?

My jury is out on whether or not I'll change it but what a dork. 

Seriously.

EAT THE FROG

Every morning you should get up and eat the frog first. After that everything else is a breeze. So I'm told.

Nom, nom, nom...froggie

FOR STEPH - PLUS CHAPTER FIVE

I've just added up Chapter 5 and increased the word line spacing to 1.5. Hopefully this will mean it's slightly easier to read?

Just for you Stephanie :) 

Enjoy

EASY DOES IT

I'm stuck.

I'm having a big fat period of writers bog. I'm writing, deleting, re-writing, re-deleting the same paragraph over and over again.

Thank you so much to you wonderful people who keep emailing me asking for more. It's about the only thing that keeps me opening the computer and writing, deleting, re-writing, re-deleting....

You get the picture.

Another way to look at this is that all progress is good.

.....

Sorry for the rant.

More story soon.

WRITERS BLOCK

Today I stood at the grave of one of the world's greatest writers and paid homage. I wont bamboozle you with any further words, suffice to say it was humbling beyond measure.

We shared a moment, Shakespeare and I, and I told him I was a big fan of his work. I shared this intimate experience with around 5 - 10 other tourists and shamelessly hogged front-row-centre for at least 5 minutes kill joy.

I'll put up some pictures on the photography site shortly, for the meantime I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

PS - Thank you so much for stopping by
PPS - More on the story soon, we have limited connectivity where we're staying but I promise I'm making progress

Hard Slogger:

First things first.

If you've managed to make your way through what's currently up online congratulations! My mother assures me the formatting is atrocious but I'm persevering.

During difficult parts just conjure up and image of Dory chanting "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming," as it's likely it's what I'm singing to myself.

We're in the process of a life changing experience moving house/hemispheres so while the updates may be a little sparse over the coming weeks bear with me.

If you are still reading - I hope you're enjoying what's there.
