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.

Scribbling

I'm not sure what's happened to me.  I have stories coming out of my ears.  The other night, while watching TV, I suddenly thought of a storyline.  I grabbed the first sheet of paper I could find and scribbled it down quickly it was something of Carl's, but let's not tell him that).  It had nothing to do with what we were watching.  Don't think I'm complaining because I'm not, quite the opposite in fact.  I feel like a "real" writer at last, having to delve for paper, or my notebook, it's quite fun.

I sent my story for TABFF off today.  I feel good about it and anxious to hear back from them, which probably won't be for a few weeks yet!  My story for the choc-lit competition is almost complete and my third story of the month is also simmering away nicely.  So all in all I am feeling positive about my work.  It's a good feeling which I hope will last.

Of course, I will keep you up to date with things and as ever, my fingers are crossed.
