A while back, I posted two little flash fiction stories—The Man Wearing Black and The Odds—and it was heaps of fun and ever since then I’ve been hoping to do some more. I’ve tried several times, actually, but I just haven’t been inspired for any...

When you only realise the header image has the wrong words two minutes before publishing the post, but it’s too late to change it now. 🙈 Good morning one and all and welcome to Jane Makes Up Stuff Because None Of Her Other Ideas Were Working Today. In...

As I’m sitting down to write this post, I actually have no idea what I’m going to say, but I’m here to say it anyway! (I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or a good thing. 😂) I actually haven’t done a general ‘updates’...
