I was walking down the road. Nothing unusual in that but I was depressed. I had just made one of the worst decisions in my life. Go to college, or not? That had been the issue and I had decided to stay in the sixth form. But it wasn't what I expected. The lessons where… Continue reading Smile!

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
Sameness
I need routine. I mean, I really need it. I think it's the aspergers in me. Change is a fearful monster lurking in brightly lit corners and warmer weather. My routine is always disrupted in warm weather. I know it has more to do with planting and shows and all the differences of weather that… Continue reading Sameness
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
Appearances can be deceptive.
This is what I feel like at the moment. There is so much happening under the surface, and nothing to see on top. Bear with me and it will all come together.

The PhD Blues
I have decided in the next year or two to start a PhD. I mean, I am only stopped by the fact I need funding... But, and this is something I have got to come to terms with, me and postgraduate proposals do not go hand in hand. When I was studying in England I… Continue reading The PhD Blues
Out of my comfort zone…
So today I am doing something that is so completely stressful that I am a nervous wreck. At the moment I look like this: Why? You ask. Well, I am off to do a Chinwag or open mike night at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. And I'm bricking it. Don't get me wrong - I have read… Continue reading Out of my comfort zone…
Doors and oportunities
I talk a lot to other entrepreneurs. Yes, I know I am a writer and artist but that makes me an entrepreneur. I am self-employed so I have a business. It is odd but I know that most people don't see you as a business person if you are a writer. Instead, you are a… Continue reading Doors and oportunities
Love, Just, Is
The new anthology has gone through its first edit and I have dropped two of the stories. It's odd but the one story is one of my favourites and close to my heart, but it just didn't hold up to the others. There is nothing wrong with it. Except maybe the fact it has been… Continue reading Love, Just, Is
