Welcome and thanks for visiting my website.
Writing is a lonely profession people say. Through critique groups (and I think I have the best 3 critique partners ever!) and writing workshops and fellow writing friends, I don't think I am ever lonely. And when I'm with my characters riding lifts or joking with friends or hugging someone they love, loneliness is the last thing I feel.
You'll find information here on the craft of writing, some of my favourite writing competitions, my books, and shots of my other passion, photography.
My perfect day:
Kids off to school, my chance to walk the dog. My lazy, too much hair, pulls-like-a-bus dog. I tell myself he is well behaved, but he isn't.
Home to a cup of tea and my computer. Edit pages for my critique group, check Facebook and resist typing, or posting or uploading a photo.
Write. Edit. Write.
Avoid cleaning, folding laundry, definitely no vacuuming.
Frantic dash at 3.20pm to the shops to get food for dinner before picking up the kids at 4pm. They really need to start walking home from the station.
Rush around for kid's sport. Get home and dinner option will now take too long to cook. Order pizza.
Indulge in favourite T.V - Have You Been Paying Attention, Gilmore Girls (my daughter watches and now I'm hooked), any movie going.
Brain turns to mush by 8.30pm, no writing or editing now, read a book. The perfect end.
What's your perfect day?
