The daily prompt has asked if I could re-live the past week would I change anything... I have just had a week from hell. But I've also learnt a lot about myself. Last Monday I was unsure of what I was. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen. As if I were a… Continue reading A never-ending circle

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
Sleepless Nights
At night the monsters come out. They lurk in dark cupboards or moving shadows. If you switch on the light they retreat and you are left huddled in the middle of your bed, too scared to move. I don't know when the monster under the bed became such a problem with me... But even now… Continue reading Sleepless Nights

And there is one - no worries.… Continue reading No worries and phrases I use.
MA celebrations!

So we all passed. We went to a lovely little pub in the center of Lampeter, all home… Continue reading MA celebrations!
Judging a book by its cover…

I mean you have taken time to write it and then you have to think about what to put on the front, but surely it is what's in the book that's important? And I wish it were, but we all buy because of… Continue reading Judging a book by its cover…
