Writer of middle grade and young adult fiction and adult non-fiction. Sunday, 2 February 2014. JaNoWriMo - Crossing the Finish Line! N had some bad news which threw him off course in the final week, but he said that JaNo fired him up and got him writing the start of a trilogy he had had in mind for over six months.

Writer of middle grade and young adult fiction and adult non-fiction. Sunday, 29 September 2013. The People's Festival: from Last Chance Saloon to Soar-away Success. This year I was determined not to miss out (again) on the mighty Ilkley Literature Festival (ILF) and so I decided to do two things: a) volunteer as a steward; and b) contribute posts to the official festival blog www.pickledegg.info. Sounds of the 70s. I climbed the stairs of the 14th century Manor House Museum to the exhibition itself.

Writer of middle grade and young adult fiction and adult non-fiction. Sunday, 27 April 2014. There are several ways and means to kick start your writing and regain that missing mojo. One way is to enroll on a writing course - even a short one, provided it's well run, can get you writing again. Another is to join a local writers' group - ask at your library to see if there's one in your area. And a third way is to use writing prompts, such as the ones found at sites like Writing Prompts 101. So, when you ...
