Actually it is all writing. I would love to say that my life has been all roses and chocolates, but it hasn't. Instead, I have had my time crying in corners and flinching in fear, but I don't let that rule my life. I stand with it at my back, but I don't continuously look… Continue reading Trigger words and blogging

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
Where has the time gone?
I am rushed off my feet. I mean... I knew I had deadlines but this is ridiculous. I am working but feeling as if all I'm managing to do is stay in the same place. I know I'm not. But it feels like it. So the book will be out on the 31st October, but… Continue reading Where has the time gone?
A challenge that has led to an exclusive sneak-peak of ‘Shadows Close’.
I have been challenged to take up 777 by Kimberly. Basically to post the seventh page after the seventh line for seven lines of a work in progress... Does that make sense? Hope so. But Shadows Close is due to be published on the 31st of October so I thought, what about the whole of… Continue reading A challenge that has led to an exclusive sneak-peak of ‘Shadows Close’.
The synopsis – bain of my writing…
I can't do them. I mean how do you take a novel and make it one page long... One page! And that is double spaced, 12pt Times New Roman... It's hardly anything! BUT (an it is a huge but), I have just been on a course about how to find an agent/publisher. Now I knew… Continue reading The synopsis – bain of my writing…
Agents and things that go bump in the night.
I know agents aren't scary. I really do. But still they are the one thing I dread about writing. On one hand I want to get one, to be able to hand a book over and say find a publisher would be bliss, but I have also heard some horror stories about them changing your… Continue reading Agents and things that go bump in the night.
Busy!
I am SO busy. Why is it all deadlines seem to clump together? I have a theory that they are actually sentient beings and they follow a migration route. The one they are using at the moment reaches its conclusion at the end of September. Of course the result of this is that I am… Continue reading Busy!
Kid’s Books and Kindle
I got an email last night and it said that Kindle was launching something new... A Kindle Kid's Book Creator. Oh er...Was my first thought.Interesting...My second.Now, I understand that Amazon is a massive conglomerate and that most don't like them, but for me they have made things possible that I never imagined. I have books for… Continue reading Kid’s Books and Kindle
A trying time
I am finding everything a little difficult at the moment. Maybe it is the deadlines or the stress of family or the simple fact that for the last three weeks my life has been booked solid. I mean I have loved doing everything but now I just want to be able to get a whole… Continue reading A trying time
Dyspraxia, Writing and Drawing
I fell today - not a bad fall. But it hurt, and still does. The problem with dyspraxia is that you have no balance. You don't put a foot wrong, it is just that you fall. Today it was a change in surface. I went from grass to walking on wood and bang... I'm on… Continue reading Dyspraxia, Writing and Drawing
Breathe already!
I love books... I read masses of them. And I mean MASSES. Maybe it's because I didn't learn to read until I was 11. But whatever the reason I devour them. One I have been reading was a romance. Now, I don't read a lot of them for the simple reason that the writers are… Continue reading Breathe already!
