Have you ever listened to rumor? I do, but I try not to take any notice. And I do google my name with things like bad and negative comments next to it. I suppose it is in us all to see the worse easier than the best. I saw this on Facebook today: And I realised… Continue reading Heard

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
Clean
It's a clean getaway... I mean, when I first started the picture book project I didn't understand how I was going to do it. I knew what it had to look like, but the whole concept of self-publishing a picture book is a hugely worrying thing. How big should it be? How do I make… Continue reading Clean
Ten
There have been twenty five days in this year... That is all. Yet it feels like a lifetime since Christmas. I decided to list ten good things that are part of my life. Everything in the news is doom and gloom, in fact, some of what has happened to me has been pretty bad. But… Continue reading Ten
Devastation
On Saturday I woke at 4 am in anaphylaxis... I have a tree nut allergy and I had come into contact with walnuts the day before. I had thought it was under control. It had felt bad but I was fine. Coughing a bit but my parents are both full of cold so I thought… Continue reading Devastation
Aesthetic
I have a project on the go. In fact, it has been in planning for ages. But I have just not been able to decide on a theme. Until now that is... I have booked myself into a fairytale fair so I have decided that my colouring book will picture popular tales and mythological creatures.… Continue reading Aesthetic

The artwork I have left over from Christmas was still languishing in a drawer... I hadn't uploaded it! So today I have just done a marathon upload... So… Continue reading Marathon
Capable
I think I'm capable. I think I'm practical. But at the same time I'm a creative and can spend the whole day working on something I have dreamed about. Last night I met up with a couple of mates and I got talking with another creative friend. The odd thing is that although we make things… Continue reading Capable
Someday
People say to me that someday they will have time. Someday they well take the time... It doesn't matter what they are going to do, it just that they are waiting for the time to do it. In the distant past, when our ancestors sat around a fire and shared stories and food do you… Continue reading Someday
Cling
I am not sure why but I cling to the fact I will make it as an artist and writer. Stubbornly so. By my fingernails most of the time. I refuse to give up. Some say that I ought to have made it before now... But I maintain that there is just myself to blame.… Continue reading Cling
Shine
The world has to shine... For me anyway. Last year ended on a bad note. I was left broken, both physically and mentally. I knew that there would be triggers. That I would be doing something I usually do and then I'd be hit by panic or anxiety, either a feeling or a physical symptom.… Continue reading Shine
