Hello all, and how are you doing?
Just wanted to say, especially to new followers and old friends, that I'm sorry I've been so quiet on here recently. I've been long-term ill and haven't had the energy for discourse

HI all, and how are we doing at the moment? Just wanted to say sorry for not being particularly chatty recently - life has rather got away from me recently. But I'm still here, still lurking, and - as ever - always listening if you want to talk. Hope you're doing well

Writing conflict
1. Set up instrumental characters to obstruct protagonists
2. For realism, give them motives of their own
3. Oh shit, those motives are pretty reasonable and sympathetic
4. Now I'm going to look a right bastard for murdering these people
5. Despair of writing, go for walk

Hallo all, and how are we doing today? I've got an hour or so before I have to get Exhibit A from school so I'm in the #Editorium panicking about all the things I've not done, therefore not achieving anything. Hope you're making progress

Afternoon all, and how are we all doing today? I have managed to steal a precious hour in the #Editorium so of course I've completely blanked on all the jobs I was supposed to be doing. How are you all doing out there?

Now: onwards to a hard day's baby-wrangling. Much more of a challenge than even the densest manuscript

Just had a virtual meeting with someone in Japan about a potential #editing job. Think it went okay, though this (people) ain't exactly my forte

Afternoon all. Sorry for my recent absence; I've been ill and social media has just been a little too much for me. But I'm still here, still plodding along and desperately trying to do something roughly #writing-esque

Right, got to go get Exhibit A. Then a short break before I get B, and then finally the wife. And then tea.
Have a wonderful rest-of-day all you lovely people. Keep smiling. Catch you all in a bit x

Afternoon all. Just popping by on my way through life, trying to do some jobs, some #writing (well, thinking) and some caffeine before I have to go get Exhibit A from school. How are you getting on?

Hi all. Hiding in the #Editorium for a very chilly lunch and maybe a look at Friday's #blog before an afternoon appointment at the kitchen fitters. Don't tell me I don't know how to live

Solo parenting day four: I have Exhibit B today as she's off nursery and A is back in school. We have already spilled our cereal on the sofa. Nap time is being craved already, but not by the toddler

Day three of solo parenting. An uneasy truce has been reached. She will agree to do anything I ask on condition that I don't ask her to do anything. Puppy Dog Pals is all I know now

Day two of solo parenting Exhibit A (B, fortunately, is back at nursery). I am surprisingly sane and chipper - by my standards - as she enjoys her tablet and me my phone. The flooded kitchen can wait for attention

Afternoon folks, and welcome to the dark days! Hope you're all having fun doing as little humanely possible; I'm back in the #Editorium facing up to my #editing deadline. But hey, I have new CDs to accompany me, I have coffee and various comestibles, so no loser I

Survived the annual trip to the parentals. Now a few blissful hours at home before it's off to the in-laws tomorrow. Hope you're enjoying your doings, whatever they may be

Tonight you will be visited by three ghosts:
First, the Ghost of Stop Procrastinating
Second, The Ghost of No One Else Will Do This For You
Third, the Ghost of Finish Your Shit Then Start Again
They come every night, get used to it, you're an author now.
