Repotted the cactus recently. It seems to like the new soil: we have a flower in Feb.

For years it only used to bloom in Nov. 🌵

#WritersCoffeeClub 27 Nov - If Hollywood wanted to adapt one of your books but change almost everything, would you do it?

'In a 1950 letter to his publisher, Raymond Chandler wrote: "I went to Hollywood in 1943 to work with Billy Wilder on Double Indemnity. This was an agonizing experience and has probably shortened my life, but I learned from it as much about screen writing as I am capable of learning, which is not very much."'

A link to a short story I wrote, 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦.

I'm really chuffed as it's the first one that is posted on the web. The topic was 'languages', I opted for IT languages.

I'd love if you would take a look and let me know your feedback and comments.

An editor's critique of an essay I submitted...
"... adored my essay... my dynamic prose..."

Ermm... I'll place it somewhere handy and re-read it whenever I need to chase off my inner critic.
