For the first time in ages I managed to go back to bed and get a bit more sleep – and then I got up in a panic. While catching up on the Internet, I discovered two links which made my morning. The first one is a clip of what BBC Radio 4 continuity announcers […]

Back to the novel and a poorly cat
I took a week off writing The Haunted Tide to spend some time with my lovely husband, who had taken time off work to spend the week of my birthday with me. I made the decision to write only in the early hours when I can’t sleep and he can, so as not to disturb him. That […]
I liked this so much I thought I’d share it
I saw this on Facebook and thought I’d share it with all you writers on WordPress! I’ve just been informed that this is my fiftieth blog post – wow!
Quote Poems – day three
This is the third and final day of writing a poem related to a quote. Quote # 3: If you’re tired of the silent night, Jesus, well then you yell it – Joni Mitchell Yelling in the Silent Night Silence sizzles in the dark White noise against black shadows Every creak making its mark Echoes in the […]
Quote Poems – day two

Seal watching
On Wednesday we finally did what we planned to do on Monday – we drove along the North Norfolk coast to Blakeney and took a seal trip with one of the local boat companies. In a boat full of holiday-makers it was difficult to safely take photographs on his mobile phone, but my husband succeeded. […]

Serenity Single stalk Unbothered and unbending Undisturbed by wind or rain Still image A perfect composition Of sturdy stem, husk and grain Portrayal Pure personification Serene inspiration
More broken sleep
I couldn’t settle down last night and got up a few times to look out at the incredible sky full of stars. I didn’t see any shooting ones. When I finally got to sleep, my dreams were so full of poetry, and anxiety that I wouldn’t remember them, that I kept waking up, trying to […]
I have mastered menus and added another short story!
It took a while, but I now have menus and sub-menus. For now, there is no muddle to untangle and I have been able to add another story entitled ‘Uncle Bert’s Pigeons’. I wrote this story for a Pigeonhole competition, Food for Thought, which invited food-themed stories with a pigeon in them. Unfortunately, I heard from […]
