Lazy days + annual leave = …v little!
Another quiet week from me. Sorry, I really must get into a regular blogging habit – it’s just hard when there’s so many other things to think about on this writing journey. I intend to do better…we will see how long this lasts. I quite like the idea of using Sundays as an update day,Continue reading “Lazy days + annual leave = …v little!”
What I have learned this year…
Last night, I went to my writing group which is made up of teachers from across the region. It is run by a former lecturer/tutor on the course, who is undeniably passionate about writing and in particular, writing for pleasure. One of the exercises that we did was to reflect on this past academic yearContinue reading “What I have learned this year…”

Luckily, the page describes what is in the image and there is a downloadable version for a more detailed view. This has been my project as a partContinue reading “Timeline…a fun addition!”
A new website…and an apology…
As is obvious if you are reading this, I have dramatically changed and updated the website to reflect my work and the plunge that I am going to be taking in a few weeks… I have decided that I am going to self-publish From the Cave Wall. This means that I am going to beContinue reading “A new website…and an apology…”
Down the Rabbit Hole: Stone Age Research
Over the last week, I have been down the rabbit hole! I started properly writing last week. I am now at 2 complete chapters. This may not seem much, but my feelings of accomplishment are enhanced by the amount of research and “setting” I have been able to do. When approaching a story about theContinue reading “Down the Rabbit Hole: Stone Age Research”
Frustrations and progress
So I had managed to write about 50% of the 1st of three books yesterday – and today have decided to scrap the lot! Still, this has given me a good concept of what it is I need to do to accomplish my goals. Not least start with the longer book first and then workContinue reading “Frustrations and progress”
It all starts with a wall…
I have always loved stories. From a very small age, telling stories has felt very natural and right to me. Whether playing with toys alone or outside with friends, ideas, imagination and inspiration have always been there. Stories are what make childhood exciting, as well as, from early on, building our picture and understanding ofContinue reading “It all starts with a wall…”
