To dance, I love it, even if I'm pretty bad. But dance gave me more than that. #dance #amwriting #writing #shortstory

Here Be Dragons 2
A third of the way through and the story is evolving. I love it when your character goes off at a tangent leaving you wondering if they have a mind of their own... So far though the characters have managed to find themselves in an abandoned city in the Yorkshire Dales...
Word counts and trying to reach them
I'm doing Nanowrimo this year. It's my third go and this time, so far, I'm on track. I ought to mention that I have never been able to reach the end, never hit that word count. Last year I was 30,000 words adrift. So what am I writing this year? The Gone 2 - Evolution… Continue reading Word counts and trying to reach them
WIP
Well, 'Nomura' is coming along well. I am four chapters in and I've just broken the fifteen thousand word barrier. I'm guessing that the book is going to be longer than I thought. I'm still optimistic that it will be out for the end of November... My heroine is growing and in her own bumbling… Continue reading WIP
Anaphylaxis and eating out
Okay, I've been asked to suggest how you can make eating out a pleasure and not a fearful experience if you have a food allergy. Or at least not make it a completely scary situation... These are just suggestions and only eat out if you feel comfortable. That is the biggest thing... You need to trust the… Continue reading Anaphylaxis and eating out

Dieticians and Wizardry…
Went to the dietician... I sit down and she shows me a plate. "Do you eat like this?" I look down and in shock I nod. I really do. "Are your plates big?" Bit of a personal question but I assure her that they are the same size as you would expect. She then moves… Continue reading Dieticians and Wizardry…
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!
That Good Night
The daily prompt has asked for a piece written in the style of a favourite author. I recently submitted a radio play for a competition around Dylan Thomas. It wasn't short-listed but I thought I'd share. Please be kind though - radio is not my forte. THAT GOOD NIGHT CAST Ben Older, mature student. Well-spoken with an old… Continue reading That Good Night
The Perfect Game
The Perfect Game "I'll be black!" "No you can't... I want to be black," said the small boy. "Can so... You can be green." "No!" the boy screamed. "That's the same colour as snot!" "Well, I am black... I am the plague," the girl says holding out her hands and running at the small boy.… Continue reading The Perfect Game
