On A Writing Journey #amwriting
I was going to share a few updates today, about writing and the different things I’ve been working on. But, when I posted the below image to Instagram, with a note about how I’ve been writing a story since June and have just finished the first draft, the comments I received gave me pause. TheyContinue reading “On A Writing Journey #amwriting”
A Monday Update
Despite the recent easing of lockdown rules in England, life is continuing much as it has been for me and my family. Hubby and I are still working at home and the gorgeous girl, who is in secondary school, is still not back in classes, and won’t be until September. Still, there are things IContinue reading “A Monday Update”
Dragons and A Brand New Year
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely holiday break 🙂 I know I’ve been a bit absent from the blogosphere this past month – I’ve had a terrible virus that stole my breath and sense of smell and taste, so Christmas wasn’t quite the eating festival I envisioned. However, I finallyContinue reading “Dragons and A Brand New Year”
#writephoto – Sunset
Sue Vincent runs an excellent weekly writing prompt called #writephoto, where she shares a wonderful, evocative picture from her collection, and you have until the following Wednesday to write something inspired by it. Here’s this week’s photo, and this is my response: He liked to leave the house at sunset. Once the lamps had beenContinue reading “#writephoto – Sunset”
The Stable Bow
July is almost over and, with it, another round of Camp NaNoWriMo. Don’t ask me why I signed up to do it a second time, but I did, and I’ve just hit my word count goal – yay! Over two months of writing – April and July Camp – I’ve ended up with 50,000 wordsContinue reading “The Stable Bow”

Nowadays, it’s a popular destination for tourist and locals on the island.Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Magens Bay, St Thomas”
#Writephoto – Silver and Black (an excerpt)
Sue has such a wonderful knack for choosing images that inspire stories. Her photo prompt this week does not disappoint and, once again, it seems to tie in with part of my own WIP. Not Ambeth – this time I’m heading back to the world of vampires, Silver and Black. And so here is myContinue reading “#Writephoto – Silver and Black (an excerpt)”
Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories
I know there’s a weekly thing where bloggers catch up as though having coffee, a conversational get-together with updates from the past week. I’m more of a tea drinker, myself, so, if we were having tea, this is what I’d tell you: So, this happened yesterday. Yay! I reached my 30,000 word target with SilverContinue reading “Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories”
#blogbattle – A Run In The Dark
I’ve had a few weeks away from Rachael Ritchey’s #blogbattle, so it’s nice to be back. This week the topic is ‘Voice,’ and my entry is an excerpt from Silver and Black, the vampire novel I’ve been working on this month as my Camp NaNoWriMo project (only a few thousand words to go!) ——- AContinue reading “#blogbattle – A Run In The Dark”
