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.

A Little Faith

Despite it being half term this week, so far, I've had a good couple of days.  Last week I decided my Choc-Lit competition entry wasn't actually going anywhere.  I decided to rewrite the whole thing even though I knew there would be only a small chance of it being read for the competition deadline - 28.02.13.  Well, I have completely rejigged the whole thing, changed character names, deleted some darlings and the framework is looking really good.  I am hoping that if my run of luck continue then it will be ready to be submitted to the comp.

I am still playing with two other stories which are aimed at WOMAG market, I might even try my luck with the Australian market.  As ever, my favourite proof reader has cleaned the needless commas etc away for me, so they are almost ready.

I'd like to say Thank you to Carl (Hubby) for his time and patience over the past few weeks, I know I am not always easy to work with.

I probably won't get around to posting tomorrow as it is my morning in the shop and I may be lucky enough to grab a coffee and a cream tea afterwards with a friend.
