For me, a line from this song really captures the amount of work involved in writing a novel. "Every time I climbed the mountain, and it turned into a hill..." So often have I thought I was nearly done, that surely it would all be over soon, only to discover a new mountain of work …

The Wheel Rolls On
***This post contains spoilers about Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, stop here if you have not completed it!*** So I finally finished reading the Wheel of Time, twenty two or three years after starting it. I am so glad I did. The ending is worth the wait, or it was for me. I read …
The Big Wheel of Time
Keeps on Turning. And Turning. And Turning. This blogpost will be long, as befits its subject. And meandering. Ditto. Just me blethering in circles around a great series in fantasy. You have been warned! Now for some tea and chocolate, and let's be on with it! In the spirit of booktube - what have I …
Days Go By…
And still I think of you. I'm going to continue opening with a song. And then listen to what follows as I write this entry. I've been thinking about new blog posts, but they did not manifest. I'm not sure why. At first I didn't want to do that thing where you start with a …
Breaking the Silence
Seems appropriate after three years. And is a fantastic song. It has been a while. Life happened. Hello again! *waves* I decided to blog again because it felt right to do so. The Thief and The Demon has been professionally edited, a developmental and then a line edit. What a difference! The 21 steps taught …
Blogging: I’m doing it wrong
I should really leave this page blank. That would serve my title best. Minimalist humour - I'm incapable of it! So yeah - I'm sure I read advice before I started about how to be successful at blogging, and part of it was to, you know, blog. Regularly. Often would be better. It has been …
Art lies Yonder…
I have returned home from travels. I am trying to eat all the chocolate I brought back from the UK in a single sitting, accompanied by only one cup of tea, which is clearly insufficient for the task. Along the way I visited Paris. It was inspiring to see challenging art and impressive architecture, though …
Turning the Corner Vs. Rounding the Bend
For a long time I kept hoping I'd turn a corner in the editing process and find myself at the end. No such luck. But I do think I'm running the final bend now. It is one long bend. The home straight keeps eluding me, but it is getting closer. I'm getting there. Smiley face.
Keep Going!
So, the first blush of the New Year has worn off and it is time to make intentions actions. I am working on my book. Taking a dance class. Spending slightly less time obsessing over pool. As a result my game has deteriorated a tad. But I'm not obsessing. Trying to cut the cord with …
Time and Money
Time is perhaps taken for granted too often, frittered away on frivolities. We know our time is theoretically limited, but live in a seemingly endless bubble of the mostly unchanging present. Money is always there in our calculations of what we can do with our time. Our time can be prisoner to our available money. …
