Happy Easter!

Good morning on this lovely two for one day! Not only is it Easter Sunday, but also April Fool’s…. Which is going to make this entire day a question of are the chocolate eggs actually hidden, or is this all one big joke?! Asking the serious questions here. The eggs are cooking, the buns are …

Spring Cleaning

https://media.giphy.com/media/FHEjBpiqMwSuA/giphy.gif Not a lot has happened this week, Charlotte is away and I’ve been pulling anywhere between 10 and 14 hour days at work which has meant my brain has been frazzled by the time I’m home.  Probably just as well that Charlotte hasn’t been about otherwise she would have found herself with one word …

Silence is … golden?

The problem with characters is that sometimes they won’t tell you what’s wrong. They go from talking, talking and talking to sudden silence and leave you wondering …. what happened to create such a dramatic shift. Sometimes it’s something that we’ve done or said as writers that makes them go quiet, and at other points …

Organisation

Charlie and I like to think that we have things pretty sorted. I mean, we know what we’re doing right? We have everything set up wonderfully and it’s all well organised and we know where we have to go for this file and that file … that is, until one of us moves it and …

A year in the making

So, yes there was another little blip last week which we’re just gonna gloss over and pretend never happened! But we’ve been doing this blog properly now for about a year, on two different blogging platforms before we stuck with this one. And by properly, I mean on a weekly basis we had a few …

Slowly but surely

So, this week has been a bit of a better one for us, we're into a little more of a rhythm on things and back in the swing of what we need to be doing! Which I'll admit is mainly my fault, starting a new job last week which has taken me a little bit …

‘It’s a kinda Magic!’

This week has honestly been a bit of a disaster for me. Anything that could go wrong, has gone wrong. It's just been one of those, and the prospect of spending a weekend writing was something that was a little like ... after this week? This so isn't going to happen, may as well write …

One step forward, two steps back

This week has been a little like … let’s take one step forward, but then two giant leaps back.  It’s been a little bit of a rollercoaster again, but we’ve managed to reach the weekend intact and relatively unscathed from the battle wounds that we’ve picked up along the way!  This time last weekend and …

Musical Chairs!

Okay, so this week has been spent playing musical chairs.  Only, there’s little music and it’s really not as fun as I remember playing it when I was a kid - plus there’s no prize at the end.  Well, no I lie there is a prize at the end.  The prize is that after shuffling …

That one Voice …

Okay, so you know those moments where you’re sitting there and you’re thinking … something’s not quite right?  It’s too quiet, or one of your characters is just acting suspiciously.  And that’s the moment you look at them and you say “you there.  What are you doing?!” and they look back ‘who me? Not me …
