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.

Fab Friday

What a great day I have had.  I finished my 300 word flash fiction for Watford Writers (theme is 'Games') on Monday and think it's quite good, even if I do say so myself.  I felt so good having completed it I did another one.  I thought I would try my hand at comedy which is something I have not done before.  I enjoyed it and even read it back to myself, something I often neglect to do (don't let on to my Guru).


After a quick coffee I was rearing to go again.  Obviously I had one too many Weetabix this morning !  Anyway, I trawled through the net looking for a fiction competition to enter.  I found quite an interesting one involving writing a 2,500 words story around a choice of photographs.  So, I thought I might try my hand at something different once again.

I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend and spending time with the family.
