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.

Back on the Wagon

Well, that's the best day's work I have done in a while and I really enjoyed it.  The housework needs doing and I got soaked on the school runs but I am still happy.  I did the final amendments to a short story I have been writing and sent it out into the world.  In spite of the fact that I know shan't hear anything for a number of weeks, I still have that excited feeling and know I will be stalking the postman yet again.

I have begun a rewrite on a story I wrote several years ago.  If I bring it up to date and tweak it a bit here and there it should be ready to be sent out into the world of WOMAG.  Talking of such things I am missing my writing guru very much.  She hasn't been having a good time of it lately but hopefully the worst is behind her.

On a more positive note I am pleased to see some of my blogger friends have been having some success including the lovely Diane Fordham, congratulations and long may it last.  Although I yearn for a success for myself I am always pleased to hear about others who are out there and making it happen.  You are all a great inspiration to me and I hope to follow in your footsteps one day.
