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

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

If, like me, you are easily distracted and often get to the end of a day and feel like you’ve achieved NOTHING (or am I alone?), then you might find this useful. I spotted it in the Tesco magazine and … Continue reading
How to Mute Words on Twitter! (and other stuff)
Right. I am not going to mention the ‘B’ word (UK readers will understand) or the ‘C’ word (clue: 25th Dec) at all. This is going to be a happy post! I have actually muted those words* on my Twitter … Continue reading

What’s Your Problem?
My problems are (very First World-y – ie: not problems at all): 1. I have failed at NaNoWriMo, due to TMGO (too much going on, including a laptop breakdown!) and I’m thinking that perhaps I will try again in January, … Continue reading
Are We Being Too Hard on Ourselves?
Recently I met up with my writing buddy Sally, to talk about our progress (or lack of it) and to set short and long-term writing goals. This might sound super-professional and organised, but don’t be deceived: it’s just us saying … Continue reading
