Are you a loser who lives on a cul-de-sac or are you a winner who lives on a cool-de-sac 😎
My manuscript which says “…a cul-de-sac spotted…” spellcheck wants me to change it to “cool-de-sac” which I find hilarious

From my newest WIP, an un-named fantasy story about a young witch.
Putricilla slid down onto the stone walkway, hearing the rip of canvas. She felt at her backside and twisted to see a tear longer than her hand running down her rear. *Oh, by the bells. Another pair of pants I have to repair.* She stepped through the wooden door into the tower, and jogged down the narrow steps inside her bedroom.  A wardrobe nearly twice her height held all her clothes. Three uniform dresses, one for special occasions, two cloaks for rain and snow, and a stack of pants and shirts she’d made herself for the summer, when no other students were around. She changed into the regular school uniform, a grey dress with indigo trim at the waist, neck, and hem, and tied an indigo apron around her thin middle. Her stomach rumbled. *Maybe I should go down for dinner.* Running her fingers through her hair, she untangled the worst of the knots and checked her reflection in the mirror. Same green eyes, same yellow hair cut off at her chin, same crooked front teeth. Satisfied the headmistress wouldn’t admonish her for being slovenly, she  left her room through the lower door and descended through the tower, past the empty rooms of other students. Putricilla knew within the week dozens of students would buzz through the halls and she would lose her solitude. *I hope whoever's arriving isn't heading right for the kitchens too.*

So much fun was had last weekend at THUNDERGONG! (a benefit for Steps of Faith Foundation supporting amputees in need). Thanks to Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Brendan Hunt, Cristo Fernández, and the many other talented and generous people who made it all possible.

#writingcommunity Is it rude to email a publisher a bunch of crying emojis and beg them to put me out of my misery? It's been 7 months. Asking for a friend.

From my WIP tentatively titled "Reeled In" - a #cozymystery

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
Black text on a white background: Celia looked around the foyer. From the amount of full garbage bags she could tell Hunter wasn’t wasting any time. “Where should we start?” “I’ve been picking up the obvious trash. The moth-eaten clothes and carpets, trash left by vandals, that sort of thing. I put some stuff in the dining room that I think could be worth keeping or selling. The furniture is all solid wood, and heavy, so it’s all left in place.” He led Celia and Ness to the left of the front door, through a set of dark double doors. “Wow, Hunter. This table is exquisite.” Celia stared at the long table, surrounded by twenty tall-backed dining chairs. The surface was covered in stacks of dishes and glassware, oil lamps, ashtrays, and other small items. She marvelled at the crystal chandelier hanging above the colourful mess. It was beautiful despite the years of cobwebs and dust. “I want to keep that for sure, and the chandelier.”

Happy National Black Cat Day to everyone except this disastrously unprofessional model at the shelter today who would not hold still. 😠

For those who don't know:
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

NL author one of Governor General’s Literary Awards finalists
The 2025 Governor General’s Literary Awards finalists have just been announced. A writer from this province has been added to the poetry shortlist. Island, by Newfoundland writer Douglas Walbourne-Gough, is centred around the Newfoundland Mi'kmaq experience in the wake of the controversial Qalipu First Nation enrolment process. The book explores the fractured identity and the mistrust that continues to linger in many communities. The Governor General’s Literary Awards are one of the oldest...

From my #cozymystery Murder By The C, currently in the trenches of editing it. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
Black text on a white background: "The wind gusted as she stepped out of her car; she grabbed at her baseball cap to keep it on her head. Pulling it down, she held it with one hand and looked down over the hills to the ocean and over the town. The view was breathtaking; green hills and dramatic cliffs gave way to ocean waves glittering in the sunlight. She always felt a sense of peace and belonging when she stared out over the town. From this vantage point she could see about half the houses, which stretched down along Brogue Bight Road. Grey clouds hung distantly in the sky, and Celia wondered if the weather might finally break."

My cat is so soft, sometimes it’s like man you couldn’t get any softer but he somehow defies softness expectations. He also carries an assortment of knives and daggers.

Today's #writingcompanion is more of a hindrance than a help. Storm says scritches are more important.
A black cat is lying on an open notebook, front paws curled into his chest. A green string bookmark is in the centre of the pages.

I have two gremlins inside me. One wants to finish the draft of my novel, the other is babbling new story ideas at me.
