Yikes!

I knew it had been a while since last posted, but over two years? If anyone out there is interested, this is what’s been happening.

Two busy summers of B&B guests,

More scarecrows. Meet Ziggy Scarecrow and CrowElla DeVil. As you can see I maintain a 100% record on concept outstripping execution.

Lots of amateur drama. Folks round here are still talking about the way I cracked my last role.

Yes, there were many more eggs-ellent jokes along those lines.
I also wrote a short comedy for our local drama festival, full of even worse jokes.

Back in July ’22 I was finishing off my second novel. When the B&B season was over, Mr S and headed to France where we ate lots of nice food, drank lots of good wine, and a few beers

We were in Bordeaux and Lille, where after a 3am arrival following a nightmare search for an EV charger, I started on my first writing course with Curtis Brown Creative.

That started me on the journey to my next project

This seemed like a sign.

Yes, it *is* a sign but you know what I mean.

And after another holiday. This one in the UK (mostly Norfolk)

And another longer, more intensive writing course, I typed ‘The End’ on my third novel.

This one is out in the world for querying, which is lonely and scary, but made better by the lovely bunch of writers I met on the course. We keep each others’ spirits up and provide excellent advice like “Have a bun” when the inevitable rejections appear.

So thanks for indulging this little bit of displacement activity.

And of course, there’s still this year’s holiday.
