Writing competition – Update – Deadline extended
I think I may have fallen foul of the new Twitter algorithms, so that some (many?) of those who might be interested in entering my competition didn’t read about it until recently – or at all!
So I’m extending the deadline by a week.
You now have until Friday 10th February, 5pm, UK time.
See my previous post for the picture prompt and all the details.
Send me your best. Any form. I’m looking forward to reading your words.
New year, new writing
For myself, I have a new novella being published soon, I’m finally getting back to editing my novel-in-progress and I’m taking part in a workshop on lucid dreaming for creative writing.
For you, I’ve a little writing competition coming up. Prizes: publication here plus a book and chocolate.
Check back soon for more on all of this.
Happy New Year – Happy New Writing

Christmas is coming
It’s the time to look back over the past year, update writing projects and say a few thank yous.
That’s coming from me in the next few days.
Meanwhile, here’s an angel owl.

The importance of taking a break
We all need to recharge our batteries from time to time. To take a holiday. But you don’t necessarily need to go away from home to do this; you just need to change your routine.
For a writer, taking a break is important. Take your brain elsewhere for a bit.
I’m taking a break from writing fiction during August. My draft novel is out with beta readers, so it’s a perfect time for me to do something else. Okay, I have one flash fiction story to edit and one review to write. But otherwise I shall be reading, walking and attempting to teach myself to play the mandolin.
Happy August, everyone!
