On 29th July 2017, my fellow Oldbury Writing Group members (Julian, Angie, and Dave) and I visited the Warstone Lane Cemetery in the Jewellery Quarter. Yes, you’ve read that right, we went to visit a cemetery. As weird as this may sound, a cemetery is a perfect place…
I cannot believe that it’s August already. I remember starting 2017 feeling determined to make this year the year I achieve a lot in my writing. Well, sadly, things haven’t gone to plan. Life has often gotten in the way of my writing, so I lack either time…
Last year July (2016), my mom and I visited Stratford-upon-Avon for the first time. Ever since I started this writing journey, I wanted to visit the town where Shakespeare lived because there’s something magical about seeing the home of a writer. It’s like visiting an ancestor’s home because…
It’s July. Yes, you’ve read that right. Another month in 2017 has gone, and we can never get it back. The months are going by that quickly that they are starting to blur into one another. It doesn’t feel that long ago that I sat and prepared my…
On Thursday 15th June 2017, my Oldbury Writing Group posse and I went to the Black Country Radio Station to be interviewed by Billy Spakemon about our World War Two anthology titled From Sunrise to Sunset. Since this was my first time being interviewed on the radio, I…

On the 7th May 2017, I (and the Oldbury Writing Group) had the pleasure of attending the PowWow Festival of Writing (2025 Update: The PowWow Festival no longer runs) for the third time. Yes, the third time. As always, the festival was held in the beer garden at…
On Saturday 6th May 2017, we (the Oldbury Writing Group) took part in the Museum of Cannock Chase’s VE Day Celebration to promote our World War Two anthology titled From Sunrise to Sunset. As I mentioned in my ‘From Sunrise to Sunset Book Launch – My Experience’ post,…
On Saturday 22nd April, we (The Oldbury Writing Group) launched our first anthology titled From Sunrise to Sunset at the Oldbury Library. From Sunrise to Sunset is a World War Two anthology of poems and short stories. During the event, we each read some of our pieces from…
It’s May! I’m not even sure what happened to April. I feel like I’ve missed a whole month. Sadly, I didn’t do so well with my writing goals. In fact, April was the worst month, so far, for my writing goals. However, April wasn’t all bad. My writing…
