In a way, it’s freelancer’s privilege; in another, it’s an awful liminality between health and frailty, with the spectre of mortality looming large over all. Partly, also, it’s sleep deprivation at this point, as I’ve barely slept since Boxing Day due to what I shall euphemistically call ‘medication side effects’. Regardless of what’s causing it, […]

Well, I’ve been a bit remiss in getting here to tell you about it, but HURRAH! Christmas Miracle Is Just A Saying is HERE!! Officially it released on 25 November, but hey, better late than never, right? This sparkling, chatty little story came about because I had to write a story for a prompt for

My mailing list is broken. It’s been broken since, like, Easter, and I still have not managed to summon the wherewithal to lodge sufficient relevant helpdesk requests to get the thing fixed.

Did the whole ‘family holiday’ thing just post Easter this year, and stayed in our bus for the first time! Bus used to be a 42-seat coach, and now is a not-quite-finished camper van. Spectacular. Loved staying in it, much better than camping in a tent, adored having a proper queen-sized bed mattress instead of

It’s supposed to have been a short week this week but it sure doesn’t feel that way 😛 I’m hitting Friday evening pretty exhausted after a week of poor sleep – but! I have a relatively clear weekend so sleeping in will be a Thing and hopefully that will help 🙂 In the meantime, here’s
