I was scared. No, that is an understatement. I was petrified. By the time I had seen the people I wanted to see I was about to have a full scale panic attack. I ran out of the National Museum and walked back and forth on the steps. The Museum had been closed so the… Continue reading Cardiff… and maybe a Phd…

Oops… There goes Nanowrimo.
I have not been happy. My writing has been struggling. It has nothing to do with Nanowrimo, it just wasn't working. Have you ever started a peice and it is like you are slogging through molasses? Well, the novel has been like that. And when I re-read it the prose was forced, the characters detached… Continue reading Oops… There goes Nanowrimo.
Today’s a surprise!
It's my birthday... Okay - that isn't the surprise... I woke this morning with a heavy feeling of being a year older. I have a problem with the big 40 and I'm now only one year away. It leaves me looking at my life and wondering where my dreams have gone. I'm not talking about… Continue reading Today’s a surprise!
Is this a second year of a nanowrimo fail?
It may seem premature, I mean we are only on the 13th of November, but I have to admit that my word count is bad... Worse than bad. I am at 5000 words. Okay I have excuses, but all I feel is disappointment. It does seem like the fates have conspired against me. I had… Continue reading Is this a second year of a nanowrimo fail?
Insomnia, writing and illness
I've been ill. I mean, it's coincided with there being no internet so I wasn't going to mention it, but I am now starting to get the effects of the drugs I'm on. It's my own fault. If I'd payed more attention to my body I would have been fine but instead I decided to… Continue reading Insomnia, writing and illness

I know he normally plays good guys but I needed bad guy that looked like a good guy, so… Continue reading The BAD guy
What comes around….
Well, here I am again, sitting in a car park and using 3g... I love Wales but the patchy signal is a real problem when your broadband goes down. Hasn't that just happened? I hear you ask. The answer is yes. Two weeks ago broadband stopped working and it took a week to fix it.… Continue reading What comes around….
Tonight
Tonight is the worst night. It is filled with the scent of burning and memories. I hate bonfire night. I shouldn't. I mean every kid loves bonfire night, and I did. But not anymore. I think I was about ten, old enough to stand near the bonfire with my parents in sight distance but not… Continue reading Tonight
A new look
Notice the clean white space? Well, I decided to have a clean up. And the size of the text means that I can read it better. So far I love the new look, but don't be shy. If you think it's the pits let me know. It now matches my websites' new look - http://www.katemurray.org.uk.… Continue reading A new look
Main Character blog hop
I have been nominated to do the blog hop by Wendy Steele and I'm nominating Kanundra... Go on I dare you. 🙂 So down to the post. This is a novel in progress. I'm writing the bulk of it as part of Nanowrimo, but I'm playing catch up as I have been busy until today,… Continue reading Main Character blog hop
