In Which Everything is LARGE!
Hello, I am back after a long time away! My book-in-progress went off to the editor this morning (should have been there yesterday, so that’s not too bad). Unfortunately for me, reading is much quicker than writing, so I’m expecting … Continue reading

Writers, when is your ‘Golden Hour’?
Hellooo! I’m too tired to concentrate on my edits and it’s too early to go to bed, so I’m whizzing off a little post while I have a ‘window’. I can manage this because it’s like talking to a friend … Continue reading

Happy Sunday!
I’ve had a REST today and it’s been lovely. I didn’t wake up until 10am, I’ve pootled about, I’ve cleaned bathrooms (for the first time in…erm, I’m too embarrassed to tell you but hey, I enjoyed it!); we walked the … Continue reading

Why I’ve Got My Head Down (and my mouth shut!)
Sorry my posts are few-and-far-between-ish at the moment. It’s not lack of desire, it’s lack of time. As I’ve probably told you a million times (and I’m starting to bore myself now), I have a deadline of 17th March to … Continue reading
Happy New Year!
Gosh, look at that date! Over half way through January (and it’s ‘Blue Monday’ apparently!) and this is my first post of the year. Apologies but I am in head-down-saying-no-to-all-invitations writing mode, as I have a deadline of mid-March to … Continue reading

It’s Snowtime!
Hello! Do you have snow? We woke to quite a dumping of the white stuff yesterday morning, which was a shock as it hadn’t been on my radar. It all looks lovely, of course (well, until It starts turning slushy) … Continue reading
