The Recently Read posts are not book reviews. As a writer, I do not believe I should be reviewing the hard work of other writers. These posts are simply books I have recently read and enjoyed and will share with you. They will not always be crime books as I am trying to widen my […]
Change Of Genre
I’m a crime fiction girl through and through. I read loads of crime fiction and I’ve written, well just finishing, my first crime fiction novel, which, I am hoping will be the first in a series. I even watch crime shows on the television. But there’s a story that has been going around and around […]
Free Scrivener Trial Especially For NaNoWriMo
What is Scrivener you may ask yourself, though I imagine many of you will have heard of this fabulous piece of kit that allows you to write your chapters and sections separately, jiggle them about so they suit you when you’re editing, then bring them back into one smooth document when you’re ready. Apparently this […]
I Signed Up For NaNoWriMo
I can’t believe I am actually typing this. I can’t believe I actually did it. I can’t believe I think it’s even possible. I do believe I may have finally lost all of my marbles. Yes, you read correctly, I just signed up for the madness that is NaNoWriMo. And if you haven’t heard of […]
Manuscript Revisions
I thought I’d have this post as a bit of an update post as I seem to have been missing in action for some time. It feels that way to me at least. Other than guest posts, I’ve really struggled to get myself motivated to sit down and blog. It just seemed that step too […]
Creating A Series – Character Or Place, With Mel Sherratt
Again, there has been a lack of posts from me, but I have a few days off work this week and will make it a mission to have some posts up and catch up with the great blog posts I know you’re writing out there! Today’s post is courtesy of Mel Sherratt. Ever since she […]
Nailing The Plot – Ali Bacon
Firstly, today, I want to quickly apologise for my lack of activity this past week. Keeping up with work and the manuscript revisions left nothing in the energy reserve tank for blogging activities, either posting or visiting, so apologies. Anyway, today is about my lovely guest poster Ali Bacon. It’s a great post on plot […]
Crime Fiction – The Poor Relation?
Conversation overheard a little while ago. ( I’m not sure I was supposed to hear said conversation). “I read crime fiction.” Good strong statement right? {pause} *whispers to friend* “When I’m not reading real books of course.” Silence. Me? Very silently seething. Wafts of steam escaping from ears, but unless you were looking for it, […]
Beautiful thoughts on two days that should never needed to have been. Loss that no one should ever have to bear, in circumstances that are unimaginable on our streets. The loss of two police officers who will never, ever, be forgotten.
Is There Room For New Writers?
This post is part of Alex Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writers Support Group posts. These posts are put up on the first Wednesday of the month and you can find the linky list to lots of other writerly blogs on his blog Here. As I’m working my way through my revisions before querying agents again, I feel […]
