I was going to write ‘It’s Monday.’ Then I realised that it’s Tuesday. The Bank Holiday has thrown me off a little, the week already starting without me realising. It’s only a few days till I head to my virtual cabin for Camp NaNoWriMo. We have a full cabin, twelve writers in all, and ourContinue reading “Getting Ready for Camp NaNo”

Photo Prompt – By The River
Another photo prompt from Sue Vincent, this time an absolutely gorgeous shot of a snowy staircase leading through a stone arch. And yet my mind, as it so often does, has wandered somewhere unexpected… By The River The snow was crisp, the kind that crunched underfoot, footsteps left clear as though stepping in wet concrete.Continue reading “Photo Prompt – By The River”

Originally posted on Rachael Ritchey:
I’m far behind on my interviews, but we’ll get caught up! A few weeks ago the lovely Helen Jones from Journey to Ambeth won our “Hair” Blog Battle with her story, Behind the Mask. It is a power bit of historical fiction. I hope you’ll swing over and take a gander. But…
Sacha’s Writespiration – Time Won’t Wait
I’ve been doing a few writing prompts recently. This is for a couple of reasons – first, because they challenge me to stretch my writing brain. I’ve been writing about Ambeth for a long time and it’s nice to visit other worlds once in a while (although I’ll always love Ambeth). Second, because I’ve beenContinue reading “Sacha’s Writespiration – Time Won’t Wait”

Thursday Doors – Graffiti in Barcelona
I can’t believe it’s Thursday again already! Those time-management elves seem to be speeding the clocks up even more as the year moves on, or maybe it’s just me. 😉 I’ve missed a couple of Thursday Doors posts in recent weeks – not because I’ve run out of doors, but rather, a bout of fluContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Graffiti in Barcelona”

The Turning Of The Season
Spring is here, at least according to the calendar, and with it the desire to wear something new, tired of the same old boots and puffa jacket, winter’s uniform of black and grey. It seems the earth feels the same way. Perhaps that’s why spring is so gorgeous, the world clothed in blossom and wildflowersContinue reading “The Turning Of The Season”
