Hey there! Just a quick note to say I’m getting things organized for our 8th annual JusJoJan.
The first prompt will be in conjunction with tomorrow’s SoCS prompt, and I plan to ask for prompts from you for the five days a week that aren’t SoCS and One-Liner Wednesdays, so keep an eye out for the Prompt Me post within the next couple of hours.
All this, really, to let you know the SoCS prompt will be a bit late today, but it is coming!
Now … breakfast!
See you soon. đ
It turns out there was no escape for me last month. I didn’t manage any colouring at all.
In fact, every time I thought about doing one thing extra that I didn’t have to do
Anxiety made me freeze.
I have no idea what’s wrong with me, aside from not having a moment to myself for more than fifteen months
And not having a weekend off since September 2019.
And not having a day off work (editing) since the end of March (this year).
So, yeah.
Sorry.
But I’m not going to post an Escapist Coloring Club prompt this month.
Please feel free to use the June 1st post if you’d like to link to something.
I’m doing my best.
Hanging on by the skin of my teeth.
Don’t worry. I’m okay. Really.
I just can’t do anything extra at the moment.
Just letting you know.
My upbeat paranormal romance, Pixy, that reviewers call âa lovely escapeâ thatâs âsteamy and dreamyâ is free today only! Â
Alone and naked in a strange world, Merryn the pixy seeks the companionship of horses.
Ivy, tired of caring for her farm alone, has almost resigned herself to marrying a man she doesnât love.
Will Merryn be the answer to Ivyâs conundrum? He may be. As long as they donât touch âŠ
If you like lighthearted paranormal romance, youâll love this delightful love story.

âHow late are your parents going to be out?â Jared said in my ear as his hand groped toward the edge of my shirt. I wiggled away and reached for the TV remote.
âThey should be home in about an hour, why?â I shoved the bowl of popcorn from the coffee table at him and moved over on the couch. Flipping channels until it hit a horror movie, I settled back against an overstuffed pillow and triedâŠ

Sorry I haven’t been around. This cold continues to plague me. Now, the left side of my neck is swollen enough that I can feel it when I move, and it’s affecting my hearing. The brain fog is starting to lift with the addition of Advil to my diet; hopefully once I’ve had breakfast (AND COFFEE!) I’ll be able to sit down and concentrate on my own posts and the comments/pings etc.
I’ll be back!
My totally unscientific poll (which I’m reblogging so you don’t have to go looking for it if you’re interested in the results) showed nothing, really, except what I suspected anyway–that the pingbacks were spotty and most people still use the classic editor.
It seems like they’re working again now, though. (Yay!) Thanks, I’m sure, all go to John Holton, who contacted WordPress on the matter.
So ping away! đ
Pingbacks have been unreliable for a while now, but it seems in the last week or so theyâve gone from fickle to downright unstable.
Iâd like to conduct a little experiment, to see if different types of accounts/different editors have anything to do with the recent issues.
Please choose one of the following, and letâs see if thereâs any clear correlation between the technology weâre using and the pingback failures many of us are having.
Thanks for participating!
And thanks for the idea, Shelley!

About More Glimpses
Do you believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden? Or know the real truth about what lurks inside every mobile phone? Would you steal items from a blind person, or send your neighbours on a time travelling adventure fraught with danger and menace to save the human race from a bug? How about staying in a sleepy village where many murders have taken place or coming to the aid of royalty while out shopping?

Inspiration. Congratulations, Louise, for being able to write this letter.
Hello,
While I was going through some papers I found a report youâd written on my first novel and as I read it I felt incredibly sad. You probably wonât remember it, or me, but in 2015 you almost crushed my dreams.
Almost.
Iâd longed to be a writer much of my life but, always lacking in confidence, being published seemed unachievable. I didnât have a degree, any A Levels. I didnât have the courage to sign up for a writing course.
In my 30âs an accident left me with a disability and my life radically changed. I then spent several years struggling with chronic pain, and my mood until I started writing a story, then entitled âDear Graceâ about best friends, Grace, and Charlie.
For the first time in a long time, I felt I had something to get up for. A purpose. Often I was awake throughout theâŠ
