Just a question.... has anyone seen Tracker aka Vicki around of late? Not seen a post or an email reply since last year. https://www.writing.com/main/portfolio/view/tracker1948 |
Vicky completed her degree work last year and I believe she is now working towards a Masters. I think that's taking up the bulk of her time and she's had to cut back on distractions. She may be back one of these days. |

Time to kick the blog off again... honestly, I have been so far removed over the year I have actually forgotten how to link ![]() "Picking up where I left off" ![]() PS: Steven gave me the clue ![]() |
I am sure there are one or three cat lovers out there. Just sitting here reading through my written work from yesterday and my little old black cat scrambles up the edge of the couch and climbs into my lap. Not so strange you may wonder.... She is 24 and still running around like a kitten. She looks a little crumpled around the edges and is a little deaf, but honestly, I don't think she understands she is old. Life lesson in there some place I think ![]() |
Non writing post but for the mechanically minded here I just finished my rebuild project of an M3 BMW. Done, and took me a few years to do. Nothing special just a 2008 model but good God she is quick ![]() So, onto the next project. eyeing an M5 to work on next. |

Tap, tap, tap... sounds of blowing on a microphone... is this thing on. Well, this year has been an utter mess. Missed NaNo thanks to fighting to keep my job, but I did for now along with my faculty. If you were wondering where I was, I sadly had to focus on all of that for a while. But at last, I come to the end of the academic year and just finishing up marking so I can take a good long break from it all. Oddly enough I did manage to get some writing work done, and the cover for the coming book is almost finished. But my focus has really been on getting through the review and holding onto my income along with my fellow teachers around me. Honestly, and this may sound biased, but teachers are really undervalued in what they do. Anyway, I hope you have all been well, and I have very much missed taking time out to post in this community. So, coming tasks.... Finish edit run number eight addressing some minor editors feedback, get the format stuff finished then put this thing to bed. Get website finished and published. Send formatted draft off to get test print done.... And well, you all know the process. God, I was so naive when I started out trying to be a writer, but I have learnt so much and looking back at my first draft work improved immensely. Missed you all and glad to be back with a summer of writing in front of me. |
You have been more productive than many of us despite leading a hectic lifestyle so that is commendable. Give yourself a pat on the back. Well-deserved. |

I think I will place this week among the messiest I have ever had to deal with... Seems I could lose my teaching job thanks to education changes and shuffling. Previous government made quite the mess of the education system, and we got a shock announcement on Monday morning that has had me dealing with the fall out all week. We just roll with the punches I guess.... Anyway, it made a mess of the NaNo prep as that had to be pushed aside for more pressing issues ![]() Either way I will still write for the NaNo month as I planned to anyway and have quite the pile of prep sorted to do so. |
