When I was a student, and I first started applying myself to this writing thing, I started writing short stories. When I was a student, I also watched a lot of Jeremy Kyle. I think you can see whats ...
I am actually busy. That busy I seemed to be before? Positive slacking. You call that busy? THIS is busy!And thats my excuse for being a lax blogger. I like blogging. I intend to blog, but unfortunat...
Ive been procrastinating a lot lately. Hell, Im procrastinating now! But Im at the stage of starting a new WIP which involves a lot of thought.I had this idea, and I liked it so much I gave it priori...
Its been ages since I actually wrote anything. Not like blogs (although that has been lengthy) or tweets or whatever, but its been months since I actually worked on a manuscript. My previous WiP has ...
So apparently its my 100th post. Fancy that! I remember when this blog was little more than a cheeky gleam in Bloggers eye. But what to do to celebrate such a milestone? I could have a contest - but ...
It occurs to me that I havent blogged for a while. At first I was busy, working on finishing some number draft on my WiP to send to Beta readers, then I read Harry Potter right through. Ive never rea...
When Im working on the WiP, I keep it on my memory stick and then dock a copy on whatever computer Im working on. Once Ive finished for the day I put it back on the memory stick, leaving a copy on th...

Last weekend, having recovered (mostly) from the flu that struck me after my last post, Mr Dishington and I went to Sheffield to see a Sonata Arctica gig. It was pretty good, and I had fun, but that ...
So Ive been laid a bit low recently, by a number of things. Ill not bore you with the details, but rest assured that none of them were all that bad, and I was just being a bit Eeyore with everything....
Aaah, word play:) I went to see Tangled last week. I could say that as a storyteller, I am interested in any example of the craft, particularly in the romance genre, so felt duty bound to attend. But...
AAARGH!This is the point I am currently at with my WiP. Throughout the planning and drafting, Ive had a consistent problem with Points Of View. There are two schools of thought for me on third person...
A few posts back I threatened to share some character art with you, and finally, here some is! Ive done a bit of drawing here and there but nothing Ive been particularly happy with, but this I like. ...

OK, so that last post might have come across as a bit emo. Many thanks to the lovely people who wrote comments, by the way. I didnt mean it to be whiny or so *I AM CRAP* but I guess thats how it came...
