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.

Too Much Thinking...

I've come to the conclusion that too much thinking is bad for you.  Yesterday I hardly got any writing done at all due to considering Degrees/MA's.  So today I have broken it down.  Before I could consider an MA I would need to finish my degree, I'm looking at 2-3 years for that.  I can do nothing this year as I need to put some money by.  As we all now tuition fees are horrendous.  So, getting bogged down by too much thinking was counteractive for me.

I have decided to make a rough plan of where I want to be and when - nothing concrete mind, I am a woman and may change my mind.  So, in the meantime I will carry on with my fiction writing.  I have drafted a new story this week too - so I am managing to keep to my new regime.

I suppose the big question is - what do I want more?  To learn about creative writing or to be doing it?
