It’s day fourteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Home. I’ve been at home for most of today, which I’ve enjoyed. It’s a busy time of year and, as a bit of an introvert, home is where I go to recharge. It’s also where I write. Even though I’m *supposed* toContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fourteen – Home”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 5 – This Road
It’s Day 5 of the 30 Day Writing Challenge. I’ve been a bit short on time today, so I decided to set a timer and write this post, using the prompt: This Road. I like writing to a timer – it’s a clear window of time in which I’m allowed to do nothing except write,Continue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 5 – This Road”
Thirty Day Writing Challenge – Day 2 – Open Door
Today’s prompt is: Open Door For this post I’ve pulled a short scene from Silver and Black, the vampire novel I’ve been working on this past while. It seemed to fit the prompt quite well… Silver and Black (an excerpt) ‘Are you ready?’ I was. Despite not wanting to leave Kyle, despite the fact thatContinue reading “Thirty Day Writing Challenge – Day 2 – Open Door”

Cleaning House
I don’t like cleaning. I really don’t. I can think of about a million things I’d rather do than dust and scrub and sweep. However, I do like a clean house, so, until I start selling loads and loads of books and can afford to hire a cleaner, for now the job falls (mostly) toContinue reading “Cleaning House”
Jack Of All Trades
I was thinking, the other day, about all the different jobs I’ve had. Apart from four months off after having a baby and a couple of months after university when I moved cross-country, I’ve worked pretty much continuously since I was fifteen. So here, in no particular order, are all the different paying jobs I’veContinue reading “Jack Of All Trades”

Writing Updates And The Snot Monster
Happy Friday, everyone! Just a quick update post, as my week has been thrown into slight disarray by a snot monster who has decided to take up residence in my sinuses. Blegh! Could be worse, though, I know that. Streaming eyes and the fact that the front of my face feels as though it’s aboutContinue reading “Writing Updates And The Snot Monster”
Writing An Agent Submission Letter
After seven days of writing about an otherworldly weekend away with The Silent Eye, it’s back to reality with a rather prosaic thud – this post is all about crafting the agent submission letter. I’ve written before about submitting your manuscript to agents – while I don’t consider myself by any means an expert, IContinue reading “Writing An Agent Submission Letter”
