At the moment I'm sitting in a rather crowded cafe/bar thing in a holiday village. I've spent the last 3 days soaking up a change of environment. I'm surrounded by forest and wildlife. I can do what I please when I please. I'm almost completely disconnected from the internet (I have to come to this public space to use the wifi). In fact, my mobile phone is pretty much useless here. So, largely, it's me and my mind. And what is my mind doing? It's taking a holiday too. There are no new thoughts. There are no exciting ideas. There have been no flashes of brilliance. Okay, I've had time to do a little editing work, but no new ideas. I'm just hoping that having recharged the batteries, something will happen in the next few weeks, that I'll be able to make sense of the madness in my life at the moment.
So this is no news city.
I've booked a Swedish massage for myself tomorrow morning. I'll follow this up with an hour in a very quiet room. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll know what I want to write. Maybe I won't. Dreaming up new ideas isn't easy.

Nothing left
I've never liked writing "The End" at the end of a piece of writing. But when there's nothing more to say, I guess you stop writing and leave.
Photographic housekeeping
My phone suddenly complained that it had run out of storage space. Oh... I hadn't realised how many pictures I've taken. Thousands of them. So I've been going through them, and I thought I'd share the best ones here. I don't class myself as a particularly talented photographer, I just take "snaps", but the odd one turns out okay.
Crazy
Everyone says it. "I'm crazy". But what is crazy?
I've always considered myself to be a bit unconventional, and so I've earned my "crazy" label by doing unusual things. I often think it's just how my creative side manifests itself. You have to be a bit crazy to be an artist, surely?
Over the last year I've got to know 1deathgod (https://www.deviantart.com/1deathgod). She's a wonderful young woman, who is clever, witty, dare I say even pretty (she'll thump me for saying that). But several weeks after initially getting to know her, she told me something that I never imagined I'd come across or have to deal with.
"I'm schizophrenic," she said. "I'm afraid you've been talking to a
Dialogue
This week I've been having a close look at how I write dialogue. I've finally realised I'm doing it wrong, so it looks like I'm going to have to rework quite a lot of stuff that I've written.
I still consider myself a learner when it comes to writing. At least I'm willing to accept that I make mistakes and that my writing sometimes needs fixing.
I know I've been "missing" for a few weeks. Things were rather busy at work, which left me too tired to write. I took a week off and had a lovely week in Cornwall which has somewhat recharged my batteries. So I now feel like writing again, which has to be be good news.
