A to Z Challenge – Day 9 – I is for Inspiration
Hi all, Apologies, I’m a wee bit late with the post today. I was going to schedule it beforehand but inspiration didn’t want to come – but at least it gave me my word for the day 🙂 Other writers will no doubt be aware that when people find out what you do one of…

Hi all, Well, it’s currently 1am here, have just got in from an epic gig from my absolute favourite band of all time – the Manic Street Preachers and oops, just remembered that I haven’t written anything for this challenge for D-day (perhaps slightly apt under the circumstances!) so this will be a rather short…

A to Z Challenge – Day 3: C is for Character
Hi all, Today I wanted to talk about characters. I truly believe that the characters are the most important part of any story – sure there can be an elaborate plot, some exciting action, a wonderful setting but if I don’t feel some kind of connection to the characters then I tend to lose interest.…
