I shudder to think. What would I do without writing? Well, firstly I think I'd be on some sort of 'happy' pill. I love to write but it also keeps me sane. A little while ago I didn't write and I was full of anxiety and problems. Now I do write I find I'm much… Continue reading If I couldn’t write…

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?
Writing makes me feel…
Really this has to do with the dissertation so maybe the title should have 'dissertation' in there... Still, when I write I feel many things. 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…
Good Sales = Quality?

If you tell someone to think outside the box, they can't. But writers always think outside the box... But what box? The box itself is a metaphor. The box can be anything. For me the box is my life. The physical life that I live, from waking to sleeping. Any writing I do has to… Continue reading Thinking outside the box
If I had one writing wish…
Just one? I thought you always got three... But still beggars can't be choosers. My one wish would be to write faster without loosing any quality. I have so much work on and so much I want to write that I just wish I was faster at writing. And editing. At the moment my work… Continue reading If I had one writing wish…
Next month I will…
Next month I am determined no to worry. My parents say that I worry about there not being anything to worry about but lately there has been. But I have decided that it helps no one - least of all me. So no worrying. I want to finish the child's book and get about 4… Continue reading Next month I will…

Short story – ‘The Run’
It's about family and the fact that they needn't be blood relations. Enjoy 🙂 The Run Nelson’s Row is the toughest street in Clapham. Hell, even the coppers go down it in twos; too scared to take the walk alone. So it is surprising when a small boy of about fifteen turns into the street… Continue reading Short story – ‘The Run’
