Writing and the real world

Writing isn't easy. Neither is the, apparently, simple task of living. Really, it's a never ending circle that leads you nowhere.

Write a book.

Agree to extra shifts at work to earn extra money to publish and promote the book.

Earn a few hundred dollars from the sale of your book.

Work extra shifts to promote again.

Bookbub approves your free promotion.

OMG! 14000 downloads. (Rubs hands together in glee). However they are 14000 FREE downloads.


Work extra shifts for more promotion.

Write another book - however, you are working so much that you don't have time to write.

And around and around it goes.

I'm off to write a book...or am I off to do extra shifts? Oh...who knows. By the end of either I'll have no money 😂😂😂

Take care

Kiss

So, COVID put a stop to any overseas travel we had planned. We wanted to go to Egypt and continue our tour of the Wonders of the World. We've seen the Colosseum, Great Wall, and Taj Mahal and the next attractions on our list were the Pyramid of Giza and Petra. Apparently, the pyramid at Giza isn't a modern Wonder anymore, replaced by Machu Picchu. Well, that's just another country to add to our list! The Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx are the only two Wonders of the Ancient World still standing so I guess they deserve a mention.

For 18 days we drove through the Queensland Outback, towing a caravan and staying in various caravan parks. We took the Jeep and the Penguin and had an absolute blast on the longest road trip we've ever been on. We leave on March 1 and returned on March 18. We encountered heat, flo

Something Old, Something New, Something Aussie, and Something to Chew!

 Where does one begin with a heading like that? Ok...   Something old ... This is the free read you can download when you sign up to my newsletter (which is also getting done today!). It's called Silent Memory and I wrote the first draft about 1995. Of course, it started off as a time travel and throughout the years it morphed into what it is now. The story line has always included a love triangle, and at one stage it contained very steamy love scenes which were conducive to the 90s romance theme of "I'll sex her into loving me". (tehe tehe) However, I cut out about 35000 words and produced the content that you can read if you sign up to my email. Fortune Storm is a murderer, but she can’t remember whom she murdered. In fact, she can’t remember much at all. When she wakes one morning in the care of the handsome Phoenix Storm, her heart believes she knows him but the only emotion she feels is fear. As time moves on Fortune’s memories reveal a passion
