Things I Love About…

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Faye • Leave a comment

  Today I have put together a list of the things I love about reading. It’s by no means comprehensive and it’s definitely a bit random, but I hope it will strike a chord as a fitting way to sign off on my last post for Girls Heart Books…so here goes… I love how many … Continue reading →

Starting a Story – Settings and Siblings

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Faye • Leave a comment

It has struck me this past month or so how important a setting is for a story. This probably makes me sound quite stupid. I mean, it’s an obvious thing to say, settings are important – they are one of the key elements of any story – but I think to date I have taken … Continue reading →

Friendship

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Faye • Leave a comment

This month I’ve been thinking about friendship. My best friend, Zanna, went away at the beginning of February for 7 weeks, and despite the wonders of Whatsapp and Skype, what with the time difference and her working long hours it’s been hard for us to connect and I have to admit I’ve felt pretty lost … Continue reading →

Rollercoaster or Merry Go Round? Which would you choose?

Posted on January 20, 2017 by Faye • 2 Comments

Inner Worlds and Outer Worlds

Posted on November 20, 2016 by Faye • 1 Comment

I’ve been really struck this week by how as a writer one is flipping all the time between inner and outer worlds. Perhaps this is because I have recently had my head down working on a first draft for a new book. Last week I spent the whole week at home, at my desk, staring … Continue reading →

Writing about Selective Mutism

Posted on October 20, 2016 by Faye • 2 Comments

October is Selective Mutism Awareness Month, and so I wanted to talk today about Situational or Selective Mutism (or SM as it is often known) and add my voice to those tweeting and blogging about SM this month to try and help raise awareness. As some of you may already know, Tessie, in my book … Continue reading →
