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.

Bells and batons
A long time ago... In a place far from here... There was a girl. She'd been crewing a ship from Portsmouth to Belgium. The Schooner was called 'The Mistake' and she had asked the Captain why its name. "Because of a mistake," he'd said in a brash voice and although he had been wearing a… Continue reading Bells and batons
Time
I never have enough of it. But at night I lie awake fraught with worries... Do I draw? Do I write? What should I draw? What should I write? But then as the sun rises I see that it doesn't matter as long as I do one or the other. Smiling, I get up and… Continue reading Time
Competitions and knowing what to submit

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
