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.

Well It's Monday

...and guess what?  Not a bit of writing done.

I had a sick little jelly bean home from school today and the ironing basket was screaming for my attention.  I have lots of new ideas and many new hopes if I could just make the time to get down to some serious writing.  Of course it's all down to me, I know that so tonight I will have another word with myself, a firm one, and hopefully tomorrow I will have some output.

There are only a few weeks left until Swanwick Summer Writers School and I cannot express just how excited I am.  I heard a whisper that there a few places left so if you want to give it a go - check out the website.

A Bumpy Ride

The past three or four weeks have been a bit of a nightmare on the domestic front which accounts for my lack of blogging.  However, I am pleased to tell you that as from Monday normal service will be resumed.  I can't convey just how much I have missed my writing and blogging.  But it's a double edged sword isn't it, no writing nothing to blog about as I try to keep anything personal away from here.

No news on any competitions or submissions but Monday heralds the start of a new week.
