I read Productivity for Writers after listening to a podcast recently. I have been writing for some years now so much of the information in the book I’ve heard/read before, here and there, however it never hurts to both, have this book as a reminder, and to have all the information in one place. […]
When I committed to writing my Monday post (being a minimum of 500 words) some time back in June I made it a ‘no matter what’ piece of work. Up to this week I have managed to put something up but I have to say some truly terrible news in my friends group a couple […]
I have something a little different for you this week… a competition. The Roses Mini Saga Competition is a venture I’ve embarked on with a friend of mine, Sally-Rose Runham. In its inaugural year we limited entries to three local writing groups to check our processes but in this, its second year, we have […]
The Faces that you Meet is the story of Rachel, a young woman hanging on to her twenties by her fingernails and not enjoying the dating scene much. She meets Simon and they have a brief relationship but after a few warning signs, then an alarming incident, she finishes with him. However, he’s not […]
I guess I’m going to have to do a bit of a NaNo wrap-up, however reluctantly. I think we can safely say, even though I have tackled it for the last few years, that the actual concept of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, which is November) is not for me. Not that it’s actually been […]
I chose to read One For The Money as a proud member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and I received a copy from the author. This does not alter my review in anyway. Cat Caliban is looking for a change after her husband dies. She is a mother to three and a granny, […]
There has been big news in the audio book world last week, and in a somewhat surprising move I have leapt on board the opportunity and after a few hours (during which there may have been some swearing!) setting this thing up I’m now ready to share. As you may remember I recently published the […]
Whenever I am writing I always think every word I type is shite (excuse the language, but it’s needed here as it describes my thoughts accurately). In fact, I recently read a book which had writers in it and one of them sums up her thoughts about writing and they match mine, perfectly, like so:
Thoughts of quitting have been taking up much of my time recently, and if I’m being entirely honest, not just recently. Since I started writing and publishing some have disappeared from the indie world. Or maybe like me they are simply not spending as much time on social media. That’s where I used to […]
Plotting didn’t seem to matter with The Grayson Trilogy as the story and all its twists and turns were vivid in my mind. I couldn’t get the words down quickly enough and always ran out of time before I ran out of story to tell. Maybe that’s the way with first books, or series. I […]
