Scrolling through Twitter yesterday I saw a lot of tweets talking about writing every day in response to another article about the subject. I've read so many articles about how you have to write every day. They often say things like "if you want to be a REAL writer, you must write everyday" and make… Continue reading Write to the tap of your own pen
This week, my year of positivity has hit shaky ground. Fed up of worrying about health issues and not focusing as much as I wanted to on editing my new book, I've not been in the best frame of mind. I wish I didn't find it so hard to stay positive when weeks go this… Continue reading How do you put positivity into action?
I have been writing about how to stay positive this year and continuing the series, I thought it would be interesting for us to talk about what we can do when we have a day when positivity runs away.

And I think the culprit is writing. I have been a naughty writer - sitting at the dining room table or on the sofa… Continue reading Becoming a sensible writer
I finished writing my new book this week. I took a photo of the words "the end" to celebrate this fact but, of course, this was a complete lie. Until a book appears on the shelves, there will be constant editing, tweaking and proof-reading to try to make it the best it can be.… Continue reading “The End”
When you are nervous to switch on the news because the whole world seems to be descending into chaos, fiction becomes an escape route, you get to enter into different worlds from your own and lose yourself in someone else's story which naturally has a happy ending. We could all probably do with a bit… Continue reading My Favourite Feel-good Fiction
Time for a new video on my YouTube channel! Today I'm taking about my writing tips. I keep being asked for them so I thought it would be fun to film me talking through my top five tips. 1 - Write your way 2 - Read 3 - Keep going 4 - Get feedback… Continue reading Top Five Writing Tips
I saw this quote online and I just loved it instantly. I remember how hard it was to start telling people that I was writer who was writing a novel and who wanted to have it published one day. I remember the fear that came with declaring myself to people I know and then people… Continue reading I AM A WRITER
