http://patsy-collins.blogspot.com/2015/08/willow.html
Patsy Collins - Words about writing and writing about words. Monday, 10 August 2015. She's my dad's dog ( I've just been visiting and did some research for my latest WIP whilst I was there, which is as closely connected to writing as this post will get). I first saw her when he'd had her just two days and she was just a little bundle of fluff. This is her about four months old. This is Willow now at just over a year old. I wish my novel would put on weight at the same rate. Alex J. Cavanaugh. Different c...

http://patsy-collins.blogspot.com/p/not-drop-to-drink.html
Patsy Collins - Words about writing and writing about words. FREE ebook - Not a Drop to Drink. Collection of short stories. Scientists say the human body is around 70% water. We know that's not true. Oh, we could drink 'straight' H20, but usually we don't. More likely it's vitamin rich juice or teeth rotting cola. We like a nice cup of tea to calm us down or cheer us up. Perhaps a nice glass of wine to celebrate or drown our sorrows. Two glasses. Too many glasses. Blood, sweat and tears of joy or sorrow?
