Death and Visions Series

How a Detective Hijacked My Story: The Origins of Death and Vision

It all started with a short story. A short piece I published—briefly—before I pulled it back, gutted it, and realised I’d barely scratched the surface. What I thought was a standalone tale turned out to be the gateway to something far bigger, far darker, and far more emotionally charged than I’d anticipated. The original story followed a woman who’d lost touch with her mum. When her mother dies, she inherits powers she never asked for—and

Cold Water, Warm Words: A Weekend at Loch Insh

This weekend I did something I never thought I’d have the nerve to try—wild swimming in water that hovered around 9 degrees. And not just once, but twice. I joined Alice from Swim Wild and half a dozen other women at Loch Insh for a weekend of cold water dips and creative writing workshops, and I’m still buzzing from the experience. I’ll be honest: the first swim nearly broke me. We started at the Loch

???? October Update: Blindsided Novella & NaNoWriMo Plans ????

It’s been a long road back to the page, but I’m finally writing again—and I’ve got exciting news. The Blindsided novella is coming this November. After months of trying (and sometimes failing) to rebuild my writing habits, I’ve finally found my rhythm again. Some days were a battle of willpower and tea (yes, caffeine in the form of tea is my creative fuel), but the stubbornness paid off. I’m thrilled to say that Blurred Lines,

Weeks 16+17 progress – Broken Sight

Weeks 16+17 was mostly Broken Sight. It was a little slow the first week, but the second week I was away with work and productivity ground to a halt for various reasons. Though I will say the break was nice, and Stationeers is an addictive game. I’ve made it to nearly the ¾ mark of Death and Visions book 2 and it’s going great. A few changes are going to be needed, but the logic

Week 15 progress – Broken Sight a slow eek

Week 15 was still just working on draft 2 of Broken Sight, Death and Visions Book 2. It was a slower week, with a few tricky scenes and characters that were fighting me. I’m hoping for a smoother week next week. I’m at about 60k of 100k, and next week I’ll hopefully getting to the end of Act 2, which is where things start to really fall apart. What did I get done in week

Week 14 was all Broken Sight. It’s had its ups and downs as I found a few problems with my plot. One hole in particular might require me to do the redraft of the parallel book before I can fix it. What did I get done in week 14? What’s coming next week?

Writing Retreat experiment – A cozy cottage

I mentioned in last week’s round up that I was going to be doing an experiment, but I didn’t say what it was. I went on my own little Writing Retreat! Since March is the end of my work’s holiday year, I had a few days extra off, and the Easter weekend. I hunted high and low and ended up booking a cute cottage in the country out near inverness to go and write with
