I'm so sick of him.
And him.
And the other one.

Beautiful

I think I have that rose....

I have tinnitus too. Try the acupuncture points behind and in front of the ears? (Only a suggestion, do check on an acupuncture site first). I have G Sharp playing constantly first the last 25 years....

What a soul we have lost.
God bless her

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 235:
Stop equating wealth and fame with your value as a writer. Some of the writers we now admire were unknown in their lifetimes; just as many once-bestselling writers are now forgotten and unread. Making good art is not the same as making good money.

It’s time to post this quote again…

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

― James Baldwin

No, no.

Grieving for ourselves is so accurate. I think more and more about my parents' childhoods and upbringing and their own losses. There's a great book called 'It Didn't Start with You' by Mark Wolynn.

Very true.

Next year marks my 40th as a published author. Where did the years go? I wrote through the breakdown of two marriages, the deaths of my parents and brother, the growing-up years of my daughter, the birth of my granddaughter, several health scares and 8 house moves. A time map of change, in 20 books.

My Dad and my daughter, 36 years ago. I wish I could see him again just for an hour. I have so much to ask him. #father #grief

A tad breezy on the Dorset coast today.

Absolutely right.

Excellent news.

Please PLEASE if you love a book, leave a review or just a nice star rating. If you hated a book, pass gently on by and resist the urge to crush the poor bloody soul who poured their best, their hopes, their dreams and themselves into it for months, if not years .
Thank you.

How about using a complex and superbly modelled mechanism that is already uniquely yours, your brain?

If you’ve ever loved a book by a (living) author and thought hey I ought to write that author a nice email to letter etc., and then you thought, nah, that’s weird. . .you should totally do it. Odds are your fave is a fragile anxious creature who will feast on your love.

For all staff in the NHS who were so woefully let down, GOOD.

About bloody time.

Fantastic sunrise today
