Blooming Marvellous

This is one of my peonies! Isn’t it lovely? They’ve mostly all come out this year, and seeing it makes me happy. I wish there were more bees about to visit it, but the weather has been awful. At least it helps everything grow! Anyway, on a related note, Covenant, my Line-of-Fire meets Underworld manuscript …

Snapshot

Sharpshooter has come back from Magic Pencil, and I’m pleased to say there wasn’t much to do with it, thankfully, and only a few comments! 🙂 So, I’m grinding that, and Covenant at the same time, because you know; fun never stops. Well, that’s it Adventurers – hope you have a great day. 🙂

Now it’s another full readthrough and line edit to make the pacing lean and tight. Then it’s off to the copyeditor and proof-reader at Magic …

Still Wording

Have been on a bit of a rollercoaster recently, with having a big bust up with folk over at the forum I used to write/gm/reside at. Now I’ve left, it has freed up a lot of time. Time for getting my boulder-pushing on. So I am and I have. There wasn’t a lot to fix …
