Monday 4 September 2023: Publication Day!

After a solidly busy day on Friday doing all of my planning work for the month ahead and my wrap-up work for the month just gone, we also had a stupidly busy weekend. I got through a lot on Friday. I brought all of August’s spreadsheets up to date and I created all of September’s spreadsheets. I decided on the...

Monday 24 July 2023: Publication Day!

We had an early start on Friday morning. The poet’s car had to go in for some work and as it was going to take all day, I followed him in my car and brought us home. He then had meeting after meeting while I did some work on Substack and Medium. I uploaded half of last Thursday’s post, the...

Tuesday 31 Jan 2023: Publication Day!

It was a good gig on Friday night at the band’s original local. There was a great crowd with even a few surprise guests, which made it all the more enjoyable. Late night, though, although not as late as many. But that meant a late start on Saturday too. I think the only thing we did on Saturday was the...

Blind Date, a Wordsworth Short, is published today! This is one of the complete stories I discovered recently. It’s one I wrote a long time ago when this kind of twist ending story was all the rage.

Out now!

On Monday, Pippa & Davey Forever was published as a Wordsworth Flash Fiction! This very short story is one I wrote from a prompt in a writers’ guide. The prompt was ‘skin’. That was it. Nothing else. Just ‘skin’. Apparently one of the glossy women’s monthlies ran it as a competition. Once I had that one word, I rattled the...
