The girl with Kalidoscope Eyes

Yep, thats me, that how I feel, watching, waiting....hoping, secretly knowing. Afraid someone will lift my words and ideas. God you could drive yourself crazy, haven´t heard anything...yet. But I knew it would be like this. I remember years back had a go at writing romantic novels, you know the kind, innocent sweet maiden, one handsome hunk that fights to win her heart. these 2 novels sit on my shelf, collecting dust. NO; my novel I just completed was not a romantic girl meets hunk. It was more along the spiritual lines. I am quite far into a new one now, although its still very much in the planning chapters and characters, but chapter one is almost ready to go. My headaches have become severe once more, holding me back. Still back to the Neuro and see what is going on. I often wonder about all you nice people out there,reading my one way conversation!!hello to you all

Another Brick in the Wall

Oh my, can it really have been so long? Must have been something bad that I did. Some rotten virus hit me as I opened a webpage that I visit often, and zap! down went my laptop with all the goodies stored on the hard disc with it. Fortuately I had my book on disc, well done! I hear you say, or so I thought................the final edit had not been copied onto disc, silly me. Sooooooo it´s been a time of re editing it once more, and now it´s complete again. The rst of the ideas and artwork has been lost, that will teach me a lesson..I promise in the future to keep copies of everything. "Teach your children well" Well its back to waiting time, what amazes me is it takes 3 months to open the first page and say NO, Oh well "Another Brick in the Wall" and on with the next. So if you continue to visit great and welcome, join me in another marathon of putting words together on paper, and the trials and tribulations of a writer.

Streets of London

I have been travelling the streets of London, my home town, for the last ten days. Sitting in Coffee shops, people watching....recording ideas and inspired thoughts. It was snowing, cold and lovely, when you went inside everything was cosy and warm, the stark contrast of hot to cold and back to hot was great, warming up inside with wonderful mugs of hot chocolate, how I would have loved to have spent a little more time there.

I got a grip of myself and planned my writing agenda, as the minus1 temperature chilled my cheeks, and provided me with a renewed energy.

Home again with piles of observations and my mind has frozen (not literally) I watch the screen of my friendly laptop, I write some words and erase them again...........and again.......and again.

Auspicious words......muddled thoughts.

Tomorrow is yet another day.

Canned Heat

Doesn´t the sun make you want to write or create? It really fills me with energy and inspiration and the desire to get things together. However intense heat claws back some of my progress, it makes me extremely tired ,especially when it is oppresive and without air. We have these things called Calima, it becomes extremely hot and there is little wind, and sand from the Sahara just sits in the air, and the sky remains grey, they cause many respiratory problems. we have just had two weeks more or less of on off Calima.

The last few days the sky has turned blue, the air is fresh and the sun is shining,and no oppresive heat.

I have had two really good days, the sun melted the words that were frozen in my head, out they dripped word by word, flowing like a brook into a stream. Filling my hard disk with many thoughts and revisions.

The headaches have stopped, and yes I am writing again.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

The headaches persist, but I think its the stress of find uncomplicated time to write. I have been working on my book, pulling it together, editing, thinking about presentation and being totally unsociable, haven´t left the house for 5 days, but it is a choice I have to make. If I go out I´m gone for hours, stopping off to chat with people on the way, and spending more money than I can afford at this time. If there are any aspiring writers out there, I know you must be in the same path. However when I see things start to come together I am happy, and happiness is food for the soul. I hope you all had a good easter.

Hello,Goodbye

Absence: Ah! she´s writing at last!!

Absence: She´s given up??!!

Neither is true, I have been writing a little, but I have been suffering with terrible headaches
, so the lap top was definately a no go zone.

For many days I wondered if my blogged missed me as much as I missed it...

The headaches have subsided a little, so I decided to show a presence and not an abandoned site.

So on with the show.

I never can say goodbye! Keep reading

Instant Karma

Sorry I´ve been absent. I have had a terrible week, a swollen mouth and to end it all my house keys disappeared off the table yesterday and I haven´t found them. I haven´t gone out and tomorrow I must to prepare a talk at the language school. I even got the surgical gloves out and had all the dustbin out, for sure my neighbours thought,that the excentric english woman next door had lost it.

My story has not been returned, and my book is screaming out from neglect. How can I get in such a mess? I have spent the whole week running in circles and achieving nothing. What is it that causes me to have a mind full of words and ideas and not advance? This week a headless chicken had nothing on me.

Someone is rattling my Karma and would they please STOP IT!

Lost in Translation

Well I couldn´t exactly give up could I. Had to have one last go. Another friend took the now wilting story, in an attempt to regain the feel and passion of the story, did not return with it, doesn´t answer the phone or e.mails....she´s really very busy and my submission date passed.

Lost in translation.

Silly Me.
