Sisterwives Plus – The Musical (kinda)

There’s a distinct possibility you’re going to think I’m utterly crazy for this, OR you’re going to take one look and give me a roll of your eyes and a “TLDR” but stick with me and give me a chance – you can only judge if you know what you’re judging, right? Cos I’m going…

Ten Things of Thankful #95

I’m gonna do it, for the distraction if nothing else. The week has still been a week, and good things happened in spite of the really awful. So there’s that. I mostly just still feel…numbish. But there have been times when I’ve laughed, and some were even caught on camera. Another rollercoaster week here inside…

Calling it Quits

Dear Life, You win. You’ve been winning for years, but I thought I was a fighter. I thought I had Right on my side. Or Love. Or *something*. And it’s not that there wasn’t love, not by any means – it was there. Lots of it. But you cheated. You fucking cheated. You stacked the…

A Slip of the Lit – Vikki Claflin (Author Interview)

I’ve known of Vikki since the early days of my time as a blogger. She was one of the Fabulous Humour Bloggers I looked up to, and marveled at the suave, sophisticated, and effortlessly slick way she could pull off a story about kitchen disasters or fitting into too-small-underwear, or not acting her age and…

Happy Easter, lovelies

I might as well, because it’s a day to celebrate, even if it’s just to join in with everyone else and be part of the bon-homie and chocolateyness. Yes there’s a deeper meaning, and if you look beyond the stolen pagan festivals, there’s something about a bloke coming alive again (quite why, in the age…

Ten Things of Thankful #94

Unlike the Son of God, my ‘Hot Cross Bunnies’ did NOT rise again. They didn’t even rise ONCE. Apparently I’m no good with yeast-based recipes (couldn’t tell you why – perhaps I need new yeast? I’m not one of nature’s little bakers, and it seems as though bready kinds of things are consistently beyond my…

A Slip of the Lit – Tamara Woods (Author Interview)

If you’re anyone who’s ANYONE, ANYWHERE NEAR a writer community lately, you will have seen this wonderful lady working the social media platforms LIKE A BOSS. Or not, because sometimes bosses don’t work as well as you’d like. Especially not the ones at the end of Sonic, who bob up and down and throw things!…

Sometimes Things Feel Safer in the Dark

I got to thinking the other day (and don’t ask how my brain ended up there, but it did – something to do with a conversation about enjoying being wrapped in blankets and snuggled up, and feeling safe) about the places I view as ‘safe’, the historical precedent I have for them, and the ways…

Ten Things of Thankful #93

“And SMILE!” Each flash illuminates a split second – a hair-fine moment in time, when something, somewhere in life, was occurring before the camera; captured to be preserved forevermore, or deleted in a second. No full story this, but merely snapshots, kept as memories of those moments and minutiae which become lost in the detritus…

A Slip of the Lit. – Prison Break (EXCLUSIVE premiere)

Sometimes the past can reach out and grab you – sometimes someone ELSE’S past can reach out and grab you, and you discover that your paths have crossed and the universe seems to resonate with a chilly, surreal note for a second whilst you allow the stars to fall back into alignment. I was involved…
