So I finished Ghost Ship - barring an editing read through. Am creating my sci fi world in Minecraft - it's helping me sort out a few issues. Renewed and updated the website. Found out the boys don't have asthma (confirming what I thought, but the drs wanted to assess their breathing) Got sciatica on both sides, then I promptly got a virus. Started ( Read more... )

I've been volunteering at the boys school to do a program called Reading4life. It's a 17 week program that helps kids catch up on missed reading skills. Each volunteer works with one child for the full program. The child I am working with really struggled the first few weeks. Each page read was a chore. Then he learnt I'm an author. Now I get ( Read more... )

My house is quiet (it's getting close to midnight, it damn well should be quiet!) I've been drinking coffee while writing. Ep 3 of Season 2 has a lot that has to happen in it, so I've had Radical Face playing in the background. Good music to write to, good beat and not too obtrusive. He's one of the very few artists I listen to while both writing ( Read more... )

So I made a brocolli and ginger soup. Not entirely sure I'll make it again.

Writing has been happening. The broken body is degenerating, but still going, and that's the main thing. Currently doing some editing, got the fire going, and boys playing quietly. Life's good

kids are asleep, Chris is asleep - he surprised me with roses when he got home from work :) I'm working, my house is quiet. Very, very quiet.

As of last month, I have been on this planet for half a century. It got me thinking.

1 I'm hard on houses. I have lived in six homes in my lifetime (one of those was still 'home' despite me living in varying shared accomodation/flats etc) Only two of those houses are still standing. One of those is the house I am currently living in - and thus far ( Read more... )

Christmas was loud, obnoxious, and a lot of fun. Had nearly all the kids here for lunch, and the boys got spoilt rotten. New Years was quiet, the boys managed to stay up to watch the fireworks (yay for streamed fireworks) but were in bed asleep by 12.15 lol. So far 2016 has contained writing, research, music and food. It can continue this way, ( Read more... )

yeah, it's been a while. There's been computer issues (old computer went into deathroes, now playing with the SNC - or Slightly Newer Computer) I've been sick (again/still/sameshitdifferentday) I've been writing (notnearlyfastenough) and we've been dealing with autism issues with the boys (preteen with an asd child is ... one hell of a learning ( Read more... )
