Busy – and not at all frazzled!
Hi all, Well, it’s two thirds of the way through November and while I would love to be able to say I’m totally on track for Nano then unfortunately it’s not happening! I had a bit of a dip in motivation, along with a pile of other things to do, last week so got very…

The Joys of Technology
Have a bad feeling I may be getting a bug – been feeling a bit under the weather the last few days and yesterday just got home from work and went to bed. Unfortunately that meant I woke up about 1am and couldn’t get back to sleep again so that’s probably not helping today! I…

Voices in your head
I’m always interested in other people’s creative processes. I am always slightly in awe of those writers who can sit down and plan out a whole novel and know where it’s going to go. I’m much more in the  ‘sit down, start scribbling and hope for the best’ camp! Sometimes I might have a vague idea…

Self promotion
I’ve been thinking a lot this week about self-promotion – having set up this blog and a shiny new facebook page! Being an author, it’s very much about you as the product/brand – there’s no business name to hide behind. I read a rather good blog entry this week on Pen Names and I don’t…

My first ever post – and my rather exciting news!
Now I must admit I have been putting off starting a blog for a while as I wasn’t sure whether anyone would be particularly interested in my random ramblings, but since things are starting to get rather exciting (from my point of view anyway!) I thought I would share my experiences. Many of you may…
