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.

Good Start

Well straight after the school runs I sat down and got to work.  I really enjoyed myself actually.  I put the finishing touches to a half written story and revised another two which I intend to submit.  I was also able to squeeze in a bit of research on up and coming competitions.  I have missed three deadlines of comps I intended to enter but rather than beat myself up about it I concentrated on what I could plan to enter.

I took a tip from a friend of mine and used music to evoke inspiration and emotion.  Eventually this lead to me singing so loudly that Carl discreetly closed the dining room door.  Writing I am confident about, Britain's Got Talent, I'm not so sure.

Cannot wait to get stuck in again on Friday morning.
