Darling you were Fabulous…
I posted this last year, but seriously just wanted another excuse to use this photo! So, Mercury in Leo and one I prepared earlier. Thou goatish rump-fed strumpet! I was having some fun on Facebook the other day with Shakespearian insults. Lines like the above or this one: Thy lips rot off! Or even: [Thine]…

Jar of Hearts
There is such a thing as Moon memory. You know, when you “just” know something. It’s also when you smell something and are immediately taken back to that time- not just the events of that time, but the emotions that come with the memory. Music does it for me. In the days before…

it takes two, baby…
Each month my writers group meets. Over coffee we share stories of pitching success, frustration over black hole syndrome, compare notes about editors who respond quickly, editors who respond slowly and editors who quite simply don’t respond.

something you don’t know about me
Here’s something I bet you don’t know about me. I was a rugby league referee- back in the 80s when there was no space for women in rugby league except for…well, some things haven’t changed a lot!

One of the Brightest Stars
Sometimes not knowing preserves the magic. It’s like the plan that loses its “OMG it’s amazingness” as soon as you start dwelling on the detail and the how tos. Or the first kiss that was, quite frankly, not as fabulous as it had been in your fantasy. Sometimes when you know how things work, they…

Love the Fall
Neptune is almost stationary and will turn retrograde on 5 June at 3 Pisces 9’. Being the planet of spiritualism and delusion can be exhausting- all those artists to inspire, all that illusion to create, all that intuition and psychic ability to enhance, all that fog and wonderful haze. The downside of a Neptune transit,…

the edge of glory…
I took a deep breath today and started sending query letters out to agents for my manuscript. I’ve sent it off into a couple of free for alls (ie the only days of the week/month that some publishers have for unsolicited manuscripts) where the first 10 pages or so goes off into a great black…
