I think it shocked everybody worldwide to see the scenes that went on in the capitol building this week. I get it, people didn't vote the way you did, that is no reason to get violent. I mean, we had Brexit, which I never agreed with. However, I followed along with it because it was [...]

Donald Trump
Okay, they have diagnosed him as having coronavirus. Politics aside, I wish him a speedy recovery, much as I did Boris Johnson. I don't agree with either man politically, but they are still people. That being said, the people in the White House could have easily prevented it wearing a mask just as they would [...]
Authors
Okay, so my post yesterday reviewing the book good omens started some good discussion here and on my Facebook page. Lots of people were telling me that Neil Gaiman is a great writer so I will definitely read some of his books. It got me wondering who everybody's favourite author would be? Mine would be Dean [...]
Share my world – 21 October 2019
Okay, it is time for me to share my world with the rest of you 🙂 Everybody should join in with this one! Had any good conversations with yourself lately? Did you listen to yourself? And how’d that work out for you? (Credit Allie Bean https://thespectacledbean ) I very rarely have a meaningful conversation with myself. Most of my [...]
A question for everybody about style
I came across this video when I was looking through YouTube. It has a very interesting point of view about the first-person narrative. As you have probably noticed, this is my favourite point of view for narrating a story. Which style do you prefer when writing or even reading a story? Why is that? There is no [...]
Six (six word) stories: Politics in the UK
I very rarely say anything political, but the whole mess in the UK just can't go ignored. I have devised six short stories (six words each) for you to enjoy. I know not everybody who will read this will have the same opinion, but whether you want to stay or go, I am sure people [...]
Rant: WordPress
I am less than amused. They wait until I get a website to go along with the previously free blog, and then they go and update. (To be fair, this update has been available for quite some time but I have just been forced into it). I thought this is going to make everything a [...]
Just out of interest…
There was a very good and interesting discussion within one of my writing groups on Facebook. I think it would be very interesting to see what everybody else answers that this. The question was, What books are you supposed to like but really don't? For example, my answer to this one was to kill a mockingbird [...]
Bring on humanity
I don’t know even where to start on this one. There is just no way you can ignore everything that is going on in our world. Death is absolutely everywhere… Like flies on the windscreen. It makes me wonder whether that is what we have become… Mere insects had to have ended up being unable [...]
The Nine Weird Habits of Writers – YouTube
I can relate to most of these points, especially getting annoyed when people want to spend time with you… And the whole leaving the house thing! I must say though, I hate coffee… A relationship with the stuff is absolutely unthinkable for me.
