The writing muscle begins to stir…
It started with some simple backstory for a computer game character. Then I was asked to write a short piece of fiction for an upcoming magazine.
Then… today I began editing Guns of Perdition.
I am stirring once more from my slumber.
NB: I know it’s been heinously long since I posted. I’ve had a house move, career change, pet death and parent separation. My writing mojo vanished but I think it’s coming back. Stay tuned for more news….

Welcome back, love. It’s such a great feeling when we think that our writing muscle has shriveled up and died and then we feel it stir again.

Thanks sweetie! Oh boy was I hit hard by the loss of my little one. Soooo sad. We’d had her in our lives for 16 years. I may even write a memorial poem for her soon. But yes, the muse is whispering well and truly. 🤗
