My Writing Decision
After much thought I’ve made my decision as to which manuscript will get my attention first.
If you look at the list, you might think it would be fitting to finish the Cat’s Series as two books are already completed, leaving only the third book to be written. This would seem like the natural course […]

My Writing Future
Yesterday, I listed fourteen novel length manuscripts that I have at various stages. Fourteen! When added together, that is some word count! Not to mention all the edits and rewrites.
I guess I can safely say the ideas are there. Some of the manuscripts were started many, many years ago and have […]

My Writing Past
Previously, I’ve mainly written fantasy. I have manuscripts suitable for all ages. However, I specifically concentrated on children’s books – 8 to 12 years of age – over recent years. The only time I ventured into other genres were for short stories, although one of my first novel length manuscripts is romance […]

Anthology Update
Before I go any further, I must mention the anthology I founded in early 2007. Unlike the other anthologies I’ve organised, this one did not die a natural death. In fact, I’m presently waiting for the first proof copy of the published book to arrive on my doorstep.
I learned from the other anthologies […]

Who Am I?
It’s highly likely that no one visits this website any more. I’m not surprised and I’m not discouraged either. Blogs are only successful if the owner posts and I haven’t done much of that over recent months.
Some months ago, I clearly announced to the world that I had decided to stop writing…forever. […]

Is This a Breakthrough?
I haven’t wanted to write since last November. In fact, I felt so disconnected from the craft that I decided to give up on it. However, I’m involved in an anthology and the story to be included in that [strong]must[/strong] be edited.
Last weekend, I sat in front of my computer – on one […]

A Quiet Mind
I spent some time visiting some of my writer friends tonight. I read their posts with interest, but I didn’t leave any comments. I’m not entirely sure why, but I think I feel that I don’t really have the right. It sounds stupid…because it is stupid. I know that. But […]

The Battle Between Fantasy and Reality
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. Some readers might think I’ve deserted this website. I haven’t. Regular readers have probably wandered off to find more interesting (and active) blogs to read. That’s fine.
I guess the question on everyone’s lips (if, indeed, anyone still visits) would probably be […]

Never Say Never
A friend and member of the writing email group I spoke about yesterday made the following comment in response to my post - To Write or Not to Write.
I’m also a firm believer in “never say never,” though. Karen, if you don’t feel like writing right now, I think you should absolutely feel free to […]

To Write or Not to Write
This morning, I wrote the following and posted it to an email writing group I belong to:
I’ve found myself in situations where I just want to give it all away before, but every time that happened it was spurred on by depression, anger or some other upset in my life. Always in the […]
