Happy New Year's Eve everyone! I can't quite believe I lasted posted on here in July, time sure flies! Last time I mentioned that I had been delving into the world of poetry. I've continued along this beautiful path by completing two free online courses as I felt there was a gap in my knowledge. … Continue reading A Round-up of my Creative Year!
Slow Progress!
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!

Ahead of Schedule!
So I have just finished writing Chapter Eight of my story, a week ahead of schedule.

In writing this chapter I've opened up a new strand to the story, an unexpected one which … Continue reading Ahead of Schedule!

I chose Script last year and really enjoyed it (added to the fact that it would compliment my Drama background), however, this year I decided to challenge myself. 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!

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!
