It’s nearly November, and that can only mean one thing, it’s time for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), but wait, what if you already have a first draft of a novel written. Well, for those who want to join in the fun of NaNoWriMo but don’t want to…
Hello, everyone! I’m back with some exciting news: I will be taking part in The Festival of Drabbles 2015. This festival will be a week-long celebration of drabbles and will take place from 9th November to 15th November. For those who don’t know, drabbles are a short form…
Today is a great day. This time last year, 22nd August 2014, was the first time that I met the members of my writing group. I can remember the first day as if it was yesterday. I tentatively approached my library for fear that I had made a…
