1. 25 Mini Standards.
2. The Writing Primer.
3. Meet Molly is now out. A love story. A parable. A good read. ”This book is a must read. To be savoured.” And the sequel just out. Molly and Ben have settled into their island haven and are busy making friends and building a business. Their little coffee shop has become a local hub and Molly is a sought after source of help and advice for other business owners. But there are darker forces at work on peaceful Kasta, and soon Molly will need to call on all her resources to counter the threats the community faces.
   This sequel to ‘Meet Molly’ is an equally delightful read; romance and adventure and a cast of quirky characters in an idyllic setting. It is a story about love, friendship and community - a book to curl up with and forget everything else for a while.

Never-with rage-delete ‘the absolute drivel you have just written’. Simply cut and paste to your ‘holding’ file. Review such file every month or so. Then you can delete the absolute drivel. Or you might discover an excellent half-chapter that you just weren’t ready for.

Meet Molly. Novel. Parable. Good read.

The Great Soundtracks Series

Continues. 

Thursday Dig Deeper

You are not your school reports, your zip code, nor your choice of beverage at Starbucks. Dig deeper. You are not your brand of fridge, car nor smartphone. You are not your job title, job grade nor job expenses policy. You are not your business class seat, your slide deck, your gold card. Dig deeper. You are not your routine at the gym, your scrabble strategy nor your views on Johnson, Biden or Macron. Dig deeper. You're not the thought that suggests you are rubbish at photography, speaking out in meetings or swimming. You are not the guy who always does the barbecue. You're not the girl who always ensures her inebriated friends get home safely at 3am. Dig deeper. You are not a worrier, nor a complainer: you're not a label, any more than a spade actually need just be a spade. Dig deeper. You aren't a Monday morning feeling, a 'I need a coffee'. You're on a path, a mission, a 'no one messes with me' journey. 

Dig deep. Very deep. 

Always more in You, Only Better.

Continuing your education.

On Writing, 38

There’s the big idea which caused you to write your novel. 

There are the ideas you had whilst considering writing your novel.

There are ideas which flow once you write each day.

There are the ideas which pop into your head while doing something totally different.

There are plenty of ideas out there in the ether; be prepared to be receptive.

Meet Molly is here. 

MMmm. Monday. What are you waiting for? 7

1. A better mood. Mood so often improves with goal focused activity.
2. More energy. Energy grows with progress.
3. Tomorrow. Never comes. Never has, never will.
4. The cool idea. Ideas will flow once you start. Build momentum and you'll get one or two cool ideas.
5. Your friend. They are not a true friend if they are keeping you waiting.
6. A view over the ocean. Absolutely not. That's the reward not the incentive. Now it would simply distract.
7. Permission. Haha: last thing you need. Or probably will be given. 
   
   

Always more in Being the Best.
