About Me

My photo
A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.

Wicked Wednesday

Worked most of the day on my entry for the NAWG competition and I am really pleased with it.  I am hoping it will stand out from the other entries as the subject matter is unusual.

Alas. (I should find another word), NO post for me again today.  I am telling myself that no news is good news but it is so frustrating waiting to hear from the DVLA.  I know it will be a while before I hear back from TABFF but that doesn't stop me dreaming about seeing my name in print.

I have started a small pad of ideas for short stories so I don't forget the idea's because sometimes they pop into my head at the strangest of times.  Like today, I was sitting in the doctors waiting room reading a gardening magazine which was about three years old when a brilliant idea for a story popped into my head.  Thankfully I had my little pink notepad with me and jotted it down before it could slip away.  Im sure the elderly lady opposite me thought I was making notes on her hat which had seen better days.
