(note: I realise I’ve been posting quite a lot about the writing process since I returned to blogging. I suppose it’s because, when I was on my blog break, I spent most of it writing. However, don’t worry – I’ll still be wandering stone circles and photographing canal boats and weird doors and writing storiesContinue reading “Writing With A Critique Partner”

Wednesday Wander – El Peix, Barcelona
I’ve been to Barcelona twice, and both times I visited the beach. Yet, before I visited, I’d never thought of Barcelona as a ‘beach’ city.

Instead, it’s as though I’ve brokenContinue reading “It’s Wednesday, right?”
The Perils Of Being A Pantser
I’ve said this before – I am a Pantser. When I start writing I have an idea, maybe a couple of characters and an end point but not much idea of what happens in between.
