Short story – ‘The Run’

July 29, 2013 KateLeave a comment

It's about family and the fact that they needn't be blood relations. Enjoy 🙂 The Run Nelson’s Row is the toughest street in Clapham.

Daily Prompt – Life after Blogs

July 27, 2013 KateLeave a comment

How many hours a day do I fritter away looking at or posting on social media? Yesterday I worked out that if you added it all together it was three... Three hours I could be writing! But would I?
