Stop the drama and pass the spinach please
After all the drama of the weekend, I’m super-happy to post some down-to-earth, regular-but-exciting writing news. That last bit sorta rhymes… hmmm. Relax, I’m not about to sprout poetry at you, but I do want to share some progress. It is time for an update for those of you who cheered me on as I announced […]
Read moreYour Gifting will make Room for You
I caught the tail-end of a story on the news yesterday. There was a man, a brilliant maths teacher, forced to flee his country because of political unrest. He settled in Jo’burg and tried to find work in his area of expertise. Nobody would hire him as a teacher, but he managed to get a job as […]
Read moreWatch this baby dance!
These are my baby’s feet from Sunday, painted and printed at children’s church. I call her my baby, but in truth she is 4-going-on-16, designed purely to keep me mentally agile. Wow can that little girl argue! Somewhere out there, is a lawyers cap with her name on. We have so much fun together. And yes, my […]
Read moreOn being grown up and not getting swallowed…
It’s time for me to face facts. I’m desperately keen to dive in and lose myself in the world of ‘Finding Amy’, (my second novel for those who may not be following my compelling *snigger* saga.) The brutal truth is… I have two other projects that I need to finish first. Its a simple dinner before […]
Read moreSetting fire to rainy pavements
My girls have gone bonkers over Adele. They spend the afternoons belting out her songs at the top of their voices with varying degrees of success. Even the 4yo manages the angst and the volume (!) though the words are a liquidized smoosh of bad-a-baaaaaa, wop wop… This is all good, I enjoy her music. There […]

Read moreOf polar bears and other disasters
The best laid plans of mice and er, polar bears? This poor bear has had better days, I’m sure. When I think back on this week – I can sympathize. This week has been a writing fail of EPIC PROPORTIONS. And yes, all those capital letters are on purpose. I mean every one. I […]
Read moreMy Writing Theme Song
A few days back Cassie posted on her blog about her favourite background music for writing. http://wp.me/phBnT-L3 It was interesting to see what other writers find their groove to. Alas, silence for me is still worth its weight in wordcount. So here’s a different angle… What is your writing theme song? This is an easy one for me. Without […]

Tomorrow is the last day of holidays before my 3 kidlets head off back to school and I start my rounds of furious hat-swapping. I’ve loved being home, I really have. At times I’ve wished kids came standard with a mute button… but I doubt I’m the only mom on the planet who has hankered after that. So… school […]
