In my recent post, A Season for Writing, I wrote about the fact that I’d started a new WIP set in California, and that I could almost feel the sunshine. And the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that this feeling of place, of inhabiting the world where my charactersContinue reading “Stepping Into A Writer’s World”

New Week, New Writing Leaf
Last week I wrote about a writing wobble, and you were all so lovely, giving me encouragement and reminding me what it is I love so much about this blogging community – thank you all so much for your support.

Ironing, Oak Apples and Editing or, How I Survived A Writing Wobble
I had a bit of a writing wobble earlier this week. I’ve just begun editing Under Stone, the fourth book in my Ambeth series. It recently returned from a professional edit, and so I was taking suggestions and beta read comments on board, polishing the final crevices and tidying up punctuation and prose, ready toContinue reading “Ironing, Oak Apples and Editing or, How I Survived A Writing Wobble”
#writephoto – Enigma – Your Fault
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto challenge runs every week, and is a prompt based on one of her wonderful photographs.

What Happens Next? Add To The Story…
On Thursday I posted my usual Thursday Doors post, although my door this week was blocked up. It happened to tickle the fancy of Craig Boyack, who started to write a tale based upon what he thought was behind the door: For over a thousand years, the ancient evil remained walled up behind a blessedContinue reading “What Happens Next?

Thursday Doors – Abandoned
I had a different door in mind to post this week, but on a walk the other day I spotted this door and couldn’t resist taking some shots. This building is tucked into the curve of a railway bridge for one of the main lines into London, meaning there are trains passing almost overhead onContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Abandoned”
#BlogBattle – Silver And Black
One of the things I enjoy about blogging is the number of challenges offered by bloggers throughout the community. For writers there’s everything from sixty second flash fiction to short story competitions, and photographers could post something every day of the week and never run out of different blogspirations. One writing challenge I’ve noticed isContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Silver And Black”
