I have to admit guilt is getting the better of me, especially at the moment. Life has been super busy and sadly there's been a few challenges at home that have kept my head out of the game. Since finishing my Masters (back at the end of September last year) I have only completed one … Continue reading Slow Progress!

2 days to go!
I still can't quite believe that it's two years since I began my Masters degree! In two days time we will find out our results. Am I nervous? Just a tad! We handed our final assignment in at the end of September. Feels like a lifetime ago. What have I been doing since then you … Continue reading 2 days to go!
Ahead of Schedule!
So I have just finished writing Chapter Eight of my story, a week ahead of schedule. I'm so happy (and relieved) especially as, at the time of writing, I wasn't entirely sure where I was going with it. In writing this chapter I've opened up a new strand to the story, an unexpected one which … Continue reading Ahead of Schedule!

I have always shied away from Poetry because sometimes I find it hard … Continue reading Pleasantly Surprised!
I am a Writer!
Today marks the first day I have said out loud to someone that "I am a Writer" and I want to share my experience with you. I hope you don't mind! I went to the opticians today with trepidation because, ultimately, I know my eyesight has deteriorated with age. I'm not gonna lie to you, … Continue reading I am a Writer!
Books, Books & More Books … and Thank You!
My New Mini Library! For my final post of the year I want to share my new mini library with you. I finally have a home for all my books. For years they have been either stored in plastic boxes in our loft or scattered here and there about the house. It may not be … Continue reading Books, Books & More Books … and Thank You!
An Update!
So I have just handed in my first assignment which means I have now finished Block 1 of my study year (there are 6 altogether). My first assignment is my first chapter. Fingers and toes crossed for a good mark! I am still undecided whether this will be a novella or a novel, time will … Continue reading An Update!
