I can't believe that I am writing a blog about writing a blog. I'm no expert, that's for sure. Actually, I would go as far as to say that I am technically challenged (I've just contacted an author friend of mine to tell me what my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook addresses are). But I think...

Really struggling at the moment with my writing. Sort of. It's hard to explain really. The more I edit, the more description and words I add to my novel, New Lives Across the Ocean. Which is good. I can see it gaining depth and detail. That will allow my readers to identify more fully with both... Continue Reading →
I'm super busy at the moment writing for three different projects. One, my novel, is approaching the stage where I am going to need an editor. So I've started looking. Where do I start? With what I know and trust is the answer. I know both Cayce Berryman and Michelle King through as fellow admins... Continue Reading →
I haven't done a blog post for a while so I thought I had best get onto it. Not 100% thought (don't you love a cold) so I thought I would just do one of those posts that are based on sharing posts and information on similar topics. So I went to my trusty saved Facebook... Continue Reading →

The name is deceptive: no longer national, it occurs worldwide, where authors sign up with the intention of encouraging each other to... Continue Reading →
Busy, busy, busy with NaNoWriMo but had to take the time out for the big announcement: I will have two stories in the upcoming anthology from Authors' Tale! The two stories are Tell Us a Story, Pa and Goodnight - and God Be With You All. Very proud to have been selected for this wonderful anthology and... Continue Reading →
After hitting a complete and impassable dead end in preparing for my Medieval NaNoWriMo project - yep, that's right, I've shelved it - I was searching around for some inspiration to possibly get back to my novel. And I found it! This article was written way back in 2013 but it still provides plenty of... Continue Reading →
Thought I'd share this awesome little short story from Cari Jehlik. Cari asked in our writers group for someone to give her a topic for a short story - so I did! And it's a great story - and those of us who write will completely relate to it! Just follow the link at the... Continue Reading →
