Hi gang... I'm sorry it took me so long to post today. Roommie and I were actually planning to go out for a couple of hours this afternoon, but the weather isn't great so we've decided to stay put until either Monday or Tuesday. It's probably just as well. I'm still in a bit of a mood. Thankfully, I... Sign in to see full entry.

VIENNESE STRANGER Despite the friendly faces greeting me, I somehow feel nervous. I was sent a desperate letter with no signature…Only an urgent invitation to attend the charity dance being held that evening in the summer palace. This is my first time ever in Vienna, but the letter was sent to me... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum and Lisa are on their way to New York by now. I hope they have a great time! They'll only be gone a couple of days...back Sunday night...but I miss them already. Mum came by for a quick coffee this morning, so I'm glad I got to her her before she left. Mum keeps asking me when I'm going to New... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I just wanted to thank those of you who've read BLOOD SISTERS so far. I'm so pleased to hear that some of you have enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the kind comments. They're will be more to come...if not tonight, sometime tomorrow. Normally I hate being able only to write bits at a... Sign in to see full entry.

To welcome Sarah to paradise isn’t totally untrue. Yes, even in the midst of war, one can be enveloped in a “garden of Eden” as it were. The villa and its surroundings are no exception. From the window in her room, Sarah can see the vegetable garden Clare planted. It’s small, but its fed the other... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG...I can't believe I forgot Mum was supposed to come for coffee today! She's leaving tomorrow with Lisa for New York, and was going to pick up a cook book she'd loaned us. How on earth could I have forgotten that? Because I wasn't sure if she's still coming, I just tried to ring her at work. The... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just had to get up and move around for a few minutes...I should have known they'd come back sooner or later...I was just hoping it would be later. MUCH LATER! Yes, my little Gestapo are at it yet again. It's quite warm this morning, which probably accounts for some of the pain. Unfortuately,... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG...I just realised that I mispelled squirrel in my last post! I'm usually a fairly decent speller, but sometimes even I make mistakes! Please excuse me, gang...Like I said a few minutes ago, I'm only just getting started. Sign in to see full entry.

Every time I hear that expression, all I can picture is a group of squirrles gathered around a cluster of acorns or nuts. I wonder where the expression came from? Speaking of squirrles, I had a dream the other night about one. Cutest little critter you ever did see! In the dream for some reason,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I know some of you have asked for a bit more of BLOOD SISTERS and I promised to deliver more today, but I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise. At least for tonight. I really am sorry...I'm just not up to writing tonight. Don't worry though because I know exactly where to go from here.... Sign in to see full entry.

What the hell is it with parents who make light of the fact that their child or children are publicly rude to someone? I realise I'm babbling, so let me explain what prompted this post... Just a few minutes ago, my neighbour and friend, Jen, knocked at our door to ask if I'd noticed anyone taking... Sign in to see full entry.

As most of you know by now, I sometimes have visions of people-usually imaginary-in my head before I start writing a story. The events in their lives are somehow always based on reality, but very seldom are the people in my stories based on someone I've known before. Judy Wight-Bourne's character,...

Do you find it easier to write when you're clean? I don't mean just in thought, but also in body. I sometimes like to write while I'm in my pajamas, but even then I prefer to be clean. Somehow the words come more clearly and flow from my brain to my hands to the page. Our brain is literally our... Sign in to see full entry.

About an hour ago my computer shut itself down for no reason whatsoever. I swear, if this stupid trash box crashes just once more...I'll send the thing straight to hell! I'm in a bit of a fog. Finding that picture of Mick last night really did me in. I can honestly say that apart from my... Sign in to see full entry.

Has anyone here ever seen the children's film ONCE UPON A FOREST? It's based on a Welsh childen's story and it tells the tale of some forest "children." Abigale, a mouse, Edgar, a mole, Russlle, a hedgehog, and Michelle, a badger. The critters live in Dapplewood Forest, a happy place. They go to... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOOD SISTERS Summer, 1941 Germany! It’s a hell of a long way from Stony Island, Maine, and none to friendly, either. Passing through the streets in the back of the supply truck, Sarah sees for the first time just how atrocious the devastation and destruction in Europe really is. At twenty-six, the...

I'm sometimes stunned by how easily I cry. Sometimes all I have to do is see a picture of my Great-Grandpa and I find myself wailing. Tonight something happened that was no exception. A couple of hours ago Roommie and I were upstairs and she was in her room rummaging through a box when she found an... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not an oatmeal eater...not the hot kind, anyway. Actually, I hate the stuff! Well, I guess I can't totally hate it. After all, I do like oatmeal cookies and every once in a while I'll eat oatmeal bread. One of my uncles loves to bake and he's really good at it. I called Mum last night and she...

I took a shower yesterday, but it doesn't feel as if I have. So, I think I'll hobble upstairs and take another. Of course, it doesn't help that it's that time of the month, if you know what I mean...

My little Gestapo is at it again. Except now they've got a new trick up their sleeves. Its been happening since last April actually, but I'm not really sure what to make of this. There may be a connection, there may not be. Forgive me, I'm babbling aren't I? Please be patient and allow me to... Sign in to see full entry.
