F is for Fate #IWSG #AtoZChallenge2021
Fate… how much of my writing is left to it? It was fairly difficult to come up with a topic for today, since it is Insecure Writers Support Group day, where we blog about things pertaining to writing, and support
The Cheshire Bunny #writephoto #AtoZChallenge2021
The Cheshire Bunny is my take on this week’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com. It’s also my second AtoZ post for C! Here’s the photo: If you saw last week’s you’ll know that I’m in a little run
B is for Background – Getting it right #AtoZChallenge2021
Background in the third of a series is vitally important. Especially when you discover it’s several years since you published book 2. This year’s AtoZChallenge is mainly about my writing, and my Work In Progress, a science fiction adventure called
A is for the A to Z Challenge 2021 #atozchallenge2021 #amwriting
A to Z Challenge is not for me, I said. I’m not doing it this year. But I am challenging myself this month, so I decided to make it a Writing Challenge. I have to finish Zanzibar’s Rings this month.
Reflections on the #AtoZChallenge2019
Reflections … again. It’s always good to reflect on the A to Z Challenge, but I doubt whether I have anything to say that I didn’t say last year, except for some new observations about the state of blogging.

eXactly | Fiction in Fifty Words #Fi50 #AtoZchallenge2019
‘eXactly’ replaces the post I’d already done for this year’s X of the AtoZ Challenge. In fact, I’d replaced it last year, too. Maybe it will finally surface in 2020. Since that was also an eX cheat (as was last
V for Victor in the 2014 and 2017 #AtoZchallenge
Victor. I meant to use the post I did for the NATO Alphabet in 2014, but it was an excerpt about the storm in his book, Bravo Victor, where he hides under his bed. I’m sure I’ve used that recently,
U is Updating my biography #atozchallenge
Updating my biography – probably the first time I’d done it since I started blogging in 2011. My theme for 2019, in keeping with the A to Z’s tenth anniversary, is flashbacks. I’m posting from the seven previous A to

Turgonia was the place I chose to feature for the letter T of my world-building themed A to Z in 2016. This year I’m doing flashbacks from the seven challenges I’ve undertaken. The A to Z Challenge is celebrating its

Manufacturing in the Princelings World #AtoZChallenge
Manufacturing was an aspect of the Princelings world I hadn’t really thought through when I first wrote the books. During 2012 I did the A to Z of the Princelings World for my first #AtoZChallenge. This year my theme is
