Retired to the Scottish Highlands, walks just the one dog now.
Finding Blue Sky to be full of the support I've needed to re start my writing.

So #WritingCommunity, a funny thing happened to me in Waterstones, Inverness. Was paying for a reference book when a lady walked in, stood right beside me and asked the staff for a copy of #SnowOnTheBen. I know she meant the old nonfiction mountaineering book, but I had to tell her it was my wip too

Part of the delight of pantsing is discovery. It took quite a while to see this scene setter in #SnowOnTheBen subtly forshadows the ending.

Dates of background events were important in the development of #SnowOnTheBen, and when I went to find the date of graduation at MIT in 2016, I found this gold nugget.
