After all the drama of the weekend, I’m super-happy to post some down-to-earth, regular-but-exciting writing news. That last bit sorta rhymes… hmmm. Relax, I’m not about to sprout poetry at you, but I do want to share some progress. It is time for an update for those of you who cheered me on as I announced […]
Read moreTag: novel
On being grown up and not getting swallowed…
It’s time for me to face facts. I’m desperately keen to dive in and lose myself in the world of ‘Finding Amy’, (my second novel for those who may not be following my compelling *snigger* saga.) The brutal truth is… I have two other projects that I need to finish first. Its a simple dinner before […]
Read moreSetting fire to rainy pavements
My girls have gone bonkers over Adele. They spend the afternoons belting out her songs at the top of their voices with varying degrees of success. Even the 4yo manages the angst and the volume (!) though the words are a liquidized smoosh of bad-a-baaaaaa, wop wop… This is all good, I enjoy her music. There […]
Read moreNew Beginnings…
Today’s post features a lovely fellow writer, Rebecca Emin – www.rebeccaemin.com. Rebecca Emin lives in Oxfordshire, with her husband and three small children. Her debut novel, ‘New Beginnings,’ is being published by Grimoire Books today. Isn’t that exciting? Rebecca has finished her second novel ‘When Dreams Come True’ which is also for older children.

Read moreOf polar bears and other disasters
The best laid plans of mice and er, polar bears? This poor bear has had better days, I’m sure. When I think back on this week – I can sympathize. This week has been a writing fail of EPIC PROPORTIONS. And yes, all those capital letters are on purpose. I mean every one. I […]
Read moreMy Writing Theme Song
A few days back Cassie posted on her blog about her favourite background music for writing. http://wp.me/phBnT-L3 It was interesting to see what other writers find their groove to. Alas, silence for me is still worth its weight in wordcount. So here’s a different angle… What is your writing theme song? This is an easy one for me. Without […]
Read moreShhhhhhhhh!
My house is quiet. Everyone is safely tucked in bed dreaming whatever their day-weary brains are regurgitating for them. Me? I think I’m going to let my brain dribble out through my finger tips. Just a little. My house is tidy. I’ve done a bit of admin and some other bits that needed me and […]
Cross-training for writers
How are you all today? 3 days into 2012 and so far? What a great year! *insert cheeky grin* My last post was very broad and general – if it were a behind, it would not fit into the average aeroplane seat. We all know that the more specific your goals are, the more chance you […]
Read moreHoles in my head… *insert happy face here*
I finally know that it is true. There are holes in my head, the size of swiss cheese. But it’s okay. You see this morning I started novel #2. Where is novel #1 you might ask? On the shelf. For now. I had always harboured a secret hope that I wouldn’t be amongst all […]
Read moreWriting is a dangerous business.
Writing is a seriously dangerous business. Once it’s in your blood, you’ve had it. There is no escaping that irresistable urge. Take it a step further and you’re in even more trouble… Start thinking up a specific article, a story. Before you know it, your entire brain downs tools to get involved. Forget normal life – […]
