Writer of dark fiction, urban fantasy and paranormal, enjoys mind mapping and journalling too.
New garden in 2024, and also new to watercolour painting. Wishes she could draw!
Motto - Stay Curious.
I always begin with a character, and write them into their world. I figure out what the rules are and the plot usually comes from that…

I’m just picking myself up off the floor… Go you!
What are you currently reading?

How fast do you read?
I’m pretty slow, I have a massive ‘to be read’ pile I’m trying to get through… 😀

🤣 I’m afraid I’m guilty as charged and that around these parts we say ‘scccone’ #sconepolice

The above images are all taken today on my morning walk along BallyKelly shore.
With Binevenagh mountain in the background and glorious cloudscapes.
It’s a good day.

Mmm, I like reading books written this way - feels so much closer to the character, and the feels more immediate.

Great capture! Thank you for sharing.

Love photography, love art but this disgusts me. This spraying on everything and anything sickens me. I'm so sad it's happening in my favourite place in Spain.
There's a huge difference between graffiti done well, and this 'shite' vandalism.

I call it filling my creative well. 😀

Help! I lost my Mojo - Ways to get it Back - that may be of interest. You’ll have at least one viewer here. 🤣

Totally agree! I have this on audible as well as in book form. Stephen King is my kinda writer, he makes every character believable.
I love his style.

Yep! It’s the staying away from politics that makes the difference I believe.

I feel the same. I had many writer friends over there and we had our little groups. It’s terribly sad.
Facebook is another social that is on my list as it’s got so toxic. I’m in so many good groups and I’m loathe to leave so just hanging on by a thread.

I like the sound of the heated pad! I’ve got a heated throw for my knees.

Just wow! This is a beautiful scene.
