Just about two weeks ago, Craig Boyack started a story based on the above photo, which I’d featured as one of my Thursday Door posts. I added to the story, then we opened it up for people to add to, hoping to get to the end. And we did! So, without further ado, I giveContinue reading “The Crypt – Completed! A Tale With Two Endings…”

Summer Daze
Hi everyone! Just a quick update to say hello. I’ve not been around much in blogworld these past couple of weeks, as summer holidays are here plus we’re doing (another) renovation so I’ve not had a lot of time to spend online recently. I also want to welcome a whole bunch of new followers toContinue reading “Summer Daze”
The Crypt – or – a Tale With No Ending (Yet)
Wow! On Saturday night, as a bit of fun, I posted a story that Craig Boyack had started based on a photograph I’d taken, in the hope we might get a few other writers to contribute to the tale of the archaeologist in the crypt. And we did! So many comments, in fact, that I’veContinue reading “The Crypt – or – a Tale With No Ending (Yet)”
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? Add To The Story…”
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”
Take The Scenic Route
There are a lot of articles around these days about “Life Hacks’. Ways to do things quickly, so you can move on to the next thing and not waste any precious time. Some of them are actually pretty cool and useful, but at the same time I feel that, as the pace of life growsContinue reading “Take The Scenic Route”
A Journey Through Ambeth, Part II
Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about the real landscapes that had inspired Oak and Mist, my first Ambeth book. With the release of Hills And Valleys, the third book in the series, that landscape has now expanded somewhat. So, with the past week being what it was, I thought I might takeContinue reading “A Journey Through Ambeth, Part II”
Playing With Pictures
This is a photograph I took the other day on my way home from the supermarket. I thought it quite atmospheric, the way the sky was reflected in the water, the boat and two men silhouetted against the rippling clouds. I published a post a little while ago about using stock photography, and another aboutContinue reading “Playing With Pictures”
Caffeine Withdrawal and Game Of Thrones
*Note: This post contains Game of Thrones spoilers, so don’t read if you haven’t seen the latest episode yet 🙂 I am, for some reason, a day ahead of myself. I thought today was the solstice, but the 21st is tomorrow. Although, the solstice seems to move around a bit, so it could be today.Continue reading “Caffeine Withdrawal and Game Of Thrones”
To Retreat, Or Not To Retreat?
I’ve been thinking recently about writing retreats. I know that organised retreats are popular, the amount of ads in Writing Magazine alone testament to their popularity. And I can see how, for many people, spending time somewhere with the express purpose of writing would be a wonderful pathway to creativity. However, I’ve never been onContinue reading “To Retreat, Or Not To Retreat?”
