Hint #11
BECOME A QUOTE COLLECTOR
 
If you have read Bittersweet/ Bittersoet you will know that I LOVE quotes. I am a quote collector of note.  And why? Because sometimes such wisdom can be captured in a simple statement.  Quotes either come to me and validate something I have been thinking  or writing about, or else I stumble onto a quote that inspires me to think more and beyond…and this usually sparks me in some kind of creative way.  So collect quotes…if you see something that resonates with you, that gives your …

Hi All
 
My birthday is rushing at me with all the exuberance of a freight train with ADD on a mission impossible to show off in front of a sexy she- freight train that has just had a brand new paint job! Needless to say all of a sudden I am looking at saying goodbye to my last year of the 30’s!.

Hello!
 
TX to Kitty Wallis, Snoopy Page, Pikki Mill and Fritzie Lawson for sharing your soap opera names with us – they are all crazy wonderful! Wherever I go to share my motivational talk with people I walk away with some of their soap opera names in my pocket … and I think that the best scriptwriters in the world couldn’t come up with the mad magical titles I hear every weekend.  With regards to queries surrounding purchasing the 4th section audio cd of Bittersweet/ Bittersoet separately .. I will ask …

Hi all.
Must admit to something. I have been having a ‘Gerard Butler’ splurge this month. Ever since that Uber Chick Flick ‘P.S I love You’ came out I have become a bit of a fan of this Scottish Dude.

Really its not my fault…but Ster Kinekor are fraught with movies featuring …

Hint # 8
WALK MORE
The boys and I have started walking to school every now and again. We are lucky enough to have their school close by and  to drive there seems silly and spoilt and so very suburban. (Especially when the drive to school takes 2 minutes!!!) So if …

Hi all
 
Have been furiously working to try and complete the 4th chapter to Bittersweet / Bittersoet. Yes sirree! My publishers are cracking their whips! But the 4th chapter will not be printed …rather it will be recorded. It will be joined to the original book as an audio CD. So watch out for the books marked ’special edition’!  Should be available by December - just in time for Christmas.  Well, so much has happened since the launch… I have plenty to talk about. So am just busy wrapping up the …
