In fact I think it is addictive. I can't wait to see who will have a look, what countries will be involved and what the most viewed post will be. I'm hooked and it is a problem. You see I am trying to write a book, but blogging is so very much easier than writing… Continue reading I love to blog

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
Curiosity…
Well, we all know what happened to the cat Kate. But I am curious. I have one post - Time - which gets a massive number of hits. Particularly from Google with people searching for a story told via two perspectives. What I am curious about is why the searches? Why are so many people curious… Continue reading Curiosity…
Competitions and knowing what to submit
Basically, I don't. I can guess, but what do you submit for a competition? What will grab the judges fancy? The first thing I do is look at the competition - does it result in an anthology? If it does get a copy - I find that the e-book version is normally much cheaper. Now… Continue reading Competitions and knowing what to submit
Reading…
I read a lot, but it's not that sort of reading that is bothering me. Instead it's the getting-up-and-reading-from-your-own-book that is the problem. This is me doing a reading at the Aberystwyth Chinwag, at the Arts Center. I was reading from 'The Phantom Horse' and I did fairly well. But somehow it is different this… Continue reading Reading…
A CV?
I haven't written one in years... Maybe ten years! What do I put in it and how long should it be? It is for an application for a graduate business academy but I have a feeling that it would be a good idea to have one. Now where do I start... Google? I think a… Continue reading A CV?
Future expectations
The daily prompt has asked what I hope to happen in a year. And that got me thinking. In May 2015 where do I think I'll be? Well, I will have the two anthologies published. So, Love Just Is will be out there as will the Halloween one (no title yet). I really hope that… Continue reading Future expectations
Tyler Keevil and the Burrard Inlet
I have problems with some books. They get into my head and then never leave. 'The Burrard Inlet' is one of them. They are a selection of short stories all connected by the Inlet. Set in Canada is explores just what humanity is, the good and the bad. The actual inlet divides Vancouver's north shore… Continue reading Tyler Keevil and the Burrard Inlet
My Advice if you are starting out…
Many writers I talk to say that they write. "So where are you published?" I ask. "I'm not." "Don't worry. What competitions have you tried?" I ask "I'm not good enough..." And that is the problem. I write knowing there are problems - there always are because of the dyslexia. I have the story edited… Continue reading My Advice if you are starting out…
My first show as an Artist and Author
So I went. It was a small show, but in the end it didn't cost me anything and I walked away with a small profit. But I was very nervous. I did have support though. Mum came and cheered me on, and I did need it as it was a quiet show. But the good… Continue reading My first show as an Artist and Author
Shock
I was in a dream. And in that dream I was walking down a dirt road. I remember thinking that it ought to be yellow. But then I realised that it couldn't be. I was the witch and not the innocent girl. I turned and behind me I saw that the road was crumbling into… Continue reading Shock
