I love writing this blog and I use it to discuss the things that are important to me. I also write articles that are more business related and at one point I tried to add these to this blog too. I soon realised that they don't really have a home here. My copywriting...

At the end of last month, I asked the question, ‘can you write a novel in one month?’ I signed up for NaNoWriMo and three weeks in to November, I hit the 50,000-word target. I won't lie; I went hell for leather on the writing front. I was so nervous about how it would...

I'm in the middle of writing a novel for NaNoWrimo and so I haven't done any other fiction work this month. My novel in progress was sent to an editor before I started this challenge and so it was good to be able to put it to one side for a while and get on with...

You may recall that I recently wrote a post about whether I should sign up for national novel writing month. Well, in case you were wondering(!), I did sign up and ten days in to November, I have 30,000 words written. I got off to a flying start last weekend. My...
I'm delighted to have guest author, Emily Organ sharing an extract from her book The Last Day, for Friday Fiction this week. The link is open as usual, for you to share your own work, comment on others' and hopefully gain some feedback and ideas. George walked towards...
The answer to this question is not so straightforward. Fiction covers a wide variety of genres and so there are books to cater for all needs. I like easy-to-read and light-hearted novels, with the odd mystery story thrown in. I read at night, by which time I am...
Welcome to Friday Fiction: a place where I share extracts of writing (my own and that of published authors). This is a link-up, where you can add your own work, read others' and hopefully get some feedback and ideas (see the Blue Frog below to add your link). Here is...
National Novel Writing Month or Nanowrimo as it is commonly referred to, is fast approaching. From November 1st thousands of writers will attempt to write a minimum of 50,000 words before midnight on the 31st. Some writers hate the idea and believe you cannot possibly...
This week, my Friday Fiction post is based on a prompt I found. Like a previous post I wrote, the inspiration comes from a song, only this time, it is the title of the song from which the prompt is based. Here it is in full: Your prompt this week is to take the...
I love my blog and despite recent doubts about whether I should bother at all, I feel I am actually getting a lot out of it at the moment. These doubts made me examine why I write a blog in the first place. It started as a way to record significant moments in our...
For my Friday Fiction post this week, I am having my first go at The Prompt, from Sarah at Mum Turned Mom. I am delving into the mind of one of the secondary characters of my story, to write this from his point of view. Thank you to all who joined in and linked up...
I have covered different ways of finding writing inspiration in these Friday posts. If you missed part 1 and part 2, please feel free to catch up and I hope you find it useful. This week I am looking at creating fictional pieces from real life stories. I found this...
I met a (retired) lady once who happened to have worked in publishing all her life. We chatted over coffee and I told her I was attempting to write a novel. 'Go on then,' she said. 'Tell me what it is all about.' I froze. Like a rabbit in a headlight. Then I began a...
I am looking at character development this week. I took two characters from the novel I am working on and put them in a new situation. The scenario I created is further on in time than the novel itself. It is something that might happen to my characters in their...
Welcome to Friday Fiction. Today guest author Pamela Thibodeaux provides an extract from her book, Winter Madness. Her merry hazel eyes danced with humor, but she simply arched an eyebrow at him without comment and rose from her chair. She held a hand toward him....
Last week I talked about finding inspiration through music. This week I am moving on to images. This is Jake: In actual fact, I have no idea who this person is. However, when I started writing my novel, I brought my characters to life by giving them a full background...
