As the wind howls and the rain lashes outside, I’m very grateful to be at my desk in my cosy attic study. I may need a constant supply of tea…

Up early for a long day of edits...but for the first time in my life have cooked the perfect poached egg! so many gadgets tried over the years, just dropped into boiling water, amazing and tasted yummy. Can now face the day..have a lovely Sunday everyone x #isleofwight #writer #edits #writinglife

Here on @bsky.app there is outrage about what’s happening in the USA and the world order and it’s safe to spell it out. However I notice elsewhere (FB/LI) the outrage is fiercely refuted by Trump supporters who think he’s their man. We must get clear on what we want and it’s not Orwell’s 1984.

Currently writing my new book. Novella. Different genre to my usual… 😊 I have at last decided on a title. It’s a secret for now…

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
