No prizes for guessing I'm listening to Bon Jovi. But despite that - I find the "So why aren't you dead?" question comes up a lot. Especially when I'm writing. People need to learn to annoy me less. :)
I've actually had a mostly music free day. (You cannot count Hi 5 as music, you just...

We rule the night... well not so much rule as cough, splutter and cry all night - which I guess is ruling it when you're 3, because here I am blogging before any normal person is up. We've been awake since 2ish.
Breezy is snuggled on the couch with blankets watching 'Fairly Odd Parents' between...

Seems it's Sunday again.
Not the best of days. Traditionally they're crappy days. It's just how it is. Today is no exception. Breezy is feeling well enough to whine, annoy, grizzle, and demand.
Which is what she was doing while I was trying to explain something to my editor via email first thing...

There is this thing with the number 10, which has become apparent this year. In fact when I was in the middle of edits with my lovely and very funny editor Jayne Southern for killerbyte, I first noticed the number 10 was a factor.
It appeared everywhere.
To the point that the last chapter of...

This is a different kind of blog for me.
It was triggered last night with a comment by John Campbell (let me find a link so you yanks know who I'm talking about here - forget that - I forgot the 'link function' in here doesn't work, so I can't make it look pretty.) How about this then http://www....

The weekend both started and ended well... forget the middle and the enormous autistic meltdown had by Squealer at the dinner table on Saturday night.By the end of the weekend I could see my new book trailer... all joined together. Movie clips spliced with still shots. It's so close now I can taste...

Breezy, as most of you know, is a dynamo of energy. Total fun wrapped in a crazy strawberry floss of curls. Today was a kindy day. Yes that's right two hours of parental torture in the guise of socializing an already very social child in an attempt to never hear her say, "but I have no...

It seems I am procrastinating this week. (okay so we've only had two days so far- but they've been entire days, as it's now Tuesday evening.) I can only hope that tomorrow will be a more settled writing day and that I will write. And write more than 1000 words.
It's not that I'm stuck, or have...

Or if you're totally paranoid - What I hate about you.Which of course isn't an issue unless you are a troll.
Moving right along - Spring has a way of truly pissing me off. Bad enough EVERYTHING is covered with pine pollen - yellow shite is everywhere. It runs in rivers the minute it rains leaving a...

Today was spent running about like a headless chicken trying to get things done - I accomplished little in the way of writing and suspect the same of sales.
BUT - I did trot up to Bex and buy her disinfectant, anti-bacterial hand wash, apple juice, a large pack of nappies (diapers for you yanks...

I heard that song a few times yesterday- we were out and about, had my mp3 player in the car. Mainly because Breezy found it for me the other day and asked me to put Bon Jovi on it. NOTHING else. Who am I to argue with a 3 1/2 year old?(Especially one with exceptional musical tastes...)As you know...

I've probably fallen a bit behind on my Red Room blogs, again.
Little Miss Breezy has started afternoon kindergarten - which effectively gives me 10 1/2 less hours at my desk per week! Crazy really... this is why I put off the whole kindergarten thing until now. (Terrorbyte is almost done - and I'...
