Thanks for all your birthday wishes posted on the blog yesterday—I passed them all on. Perhaps the most scary comment left was: “A teenage female in the house, good luck mate.” Cheers Stevie—just when I needed a laugh!
I got the feeling all day that yesterday was a public/local holiday of some [...]

It’s been a fine week. I’ve managed some good writing, made lots of progress and had a few successes at the day job, my DVD box set of The West Wing and The Bourne Trilogy arrived, and I got some free CDs in for review from some producers. All I need now [...]

Good day at work yesterday; busy, challenging, and one where some long-term results were finally realised. It’s the biggies that count most. I topped it off with a couple of pints of Guinness in Clark’s afterwards. Sorted.
Not much else done because the results I spoke of didn’t actually happen until between 7.30pm and [...]

I write to you from the warmth of my home office. Outside my window lies a landscape scattered with 1950’s housing, skeletal trees and a cloudy, overhanging sky. It’s not a particularly exciting view, in fact, at first appearance it looks downright miserable. Yet today will be a day to be remembered for all [...]

I spent most of yesterday trying to lift myself out of a lag. My back was sore, my eyes tired, and I just felt like lying down and never looking at another computer screen ever again. But, STELLA won’t sell itself so it’s on with the show and on with the promotion wagon!
The weather [...]

The last few days have been incredible. Fast moving, exciting, fulfilling, emotional – all of these and more. To begin, I have to return to the start of the week, but I don’t have much time so I’ll stick to the finer points.
As you know, on Wednesday I was away through [...]

I said I was beginning to get excited on Monday, yesterday I was almost fully distracted. Walking to work with Man at C&A, Do The Dog and Gangsters filling my ears, I could feel the adrenalin pulsating through my veins until all I wanted was it to be Wednesday and standing in the [...]

I’m feeling it increasingly difficult to think about anything else apart from Wednesday’s gig. I’ll keep the full spiel for tomorrow’s post, but from yesterday morning into last night I saw an increase of my excitement levels ten fold.
I’ve had The Specials blaring out of my iPod almost constantly, and my PC speakers at [...]

Well the Buddies got beat; another semi-final disappointment, this time at the hands of the Forces of Darkness. As far as footie matches go it wasn’t one of the best, but St Mirren, I felt, could have taken better advantage over one of the weakest Rangers sides I’ve ever seen. With a team full [...]

Friday at last.
I spent most of yesterday in meetings, one of which I almost fell asleep in. It was a combination of the night before and the fact I could not work out why I had even been invited; I never said a word during the entire hour.
I forgot to mention The Specials kicked [...]

I got confirmation through from the Senior Acquisitions Editor at the venue I submitted Stella to a couple of weeks ago. Whether the email is a late courtesy or that it indicates something is happening is unclear.
The one problem with having so many manuscripts on the go is the level of excitement and perpetual [...]
Today I felt like I was falling from the sky without a parachute. Here’s why -
A parcel finally arrived for me at my day job – in the WRONG building. How on earth those pillocks in the mail office managed to send my parcel, which has my precise address on it right down to the [...]
You’ll probably be delighted to hear that this is post will be nice and short, bringing to an end a period of rather long ones. Blame the long ones on the festival; blame this short on alcohol. Today Gail and I celebrated our anniversary with a wee bevy, and a wee trip up to the [...]
