These boots are made for walking I had a pair of boots in school. I got them when I first started my GCSE's. The were black and shiny and the Doc Martin type. They weren't Doc Martin's - I couldn't afford them. I used them throughout school and they got knocked around quite a bit.… Continue reading Daily Prompt – These boots are made for walking.

Shall I illustrate my stories?
I draw. Normally Welsh Life but I can draw and paint almost any subject. My forte is animal and people portraits. Except I am not earning money at it. I used to but I stopped because I found it difficult to see the original leave. My workshop is surrounded by my art and I love… Continue reading Shall I illustrate my stories?
Hobby or obsession?
Writing has never been a hobby for me. Solely because I never wrote before I started studying it. I didn't think I could. Once I realised that my writing is half-way decent it was what I wanted to do full-time. Before this I told stories. Some fiction and some fact. I told them to everyone… Continue reading Hobby or obsession?
Daily Prompt – Procrastination
Procrastination To procrastinate - to carry out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time. I do procrastinate, but it usually involves writing. You see I love to write, but not all subjects. So… Continue reading Daily Prompt – Procrastination

Okay so the dissertation is half way through… Amazing that it is that far! When I realised I couldn’t believe it but there on the little… Continue reading Dissertation 5

Recently I have noticed that my writing has become a little laboured. Although that isn't strictly true, Just my adult novel is laboured. Not that I realised this. As I… Continue reading Writing makes me feel…
Advice that stinks…
Advice that stinks... I have no fear and the worst advice I was ever given was to look at my writing and analyse the content. It actually didn't come from a person but from an article. Still I took it to heart and I ended up with two months of terrible writing. I do understand… Continue reading Advice that stinks…
Daily Prompt -PC
Politically Correct To be politically correct or not... That is the question and the reason why it is so important. It is the unspoken rule and it jars if you come across something that crosses the boundaries, even if it is done unintentionally. I don't much like war movies, but there is one I love… Continue reading Daily Prompt -PC
Good Sales = Quality?
I was wondering about this. I'm working on a book and I'm hoping to self-publish a collection of short stories soon. I'm not sure how I will cope with sales, or lack of them. I've had a little experience as one of my stories is in the Twisted Tales competition being held by Aardvark Press.… Continue reading Good Sales = Quality?
Sound Tracks
I was listening to the radio today and they were talking about sound-tracks to your life. I hadn't really thought about it. I am not a great person for buying music. Throughout my buying life I have only accumulated 40 CDs. Most of my music comes from the radio, but I do have some that… Continue reading Sound Tracks
