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.

Where For Art Thou?

 It's seems so long since my last blog I hardly know where to start.  Obviously I haven't been around for a bit.  What with bank holidays, SATS, A Levels and extended family issues, I am all over the place.  I cannot remember when I last sat down at my desk and put in a good days work!  How I ever hope to attain publication or any form of success by doing zilch, is beyond me.  But that's just it isn't it?  Life gets in the way of what you really want to do.  Now lets not get carried away.  My life is a very happy one, if not a bit overfull at present.  Things will work themselves out, they always do.  Okay, little whine over.

On a more positive note, my absence from writing has niggled and niggled and I am more convinced than ever that it is what I was born to do.  Not in a boastful way but I've always wanted to write and always have - although my earlier attempts would have you doubled up with laughter.  I keep those hidden away.  I should throw them away really but I always  feel they could be revived at some stage. 

My goal for tomorrow is to sit down at my desk and not get up again until I am happy with my output - wish me luck.
