It’s my last post and I’m sorry to say goodbye. So sorry that I’ve been putting off writing it. Now it’s super late and I’m racing against the clock and just realised (at 9.30 a.m) that I didn’t press the right button last night, so that’s why this is overdue! Mulling over what to write … Continue reading
It’s my last post on here. I’ve had an absolute blast chatting to you all every month and I’ll miss it… but I’m so glad to have had the chance to write for this blog in the first place. I never saw myself as a blogger. I have zero confidence so it always comes as … Continue reading
Hi all! If you are in the UK, well, wow, what a beautiful spring we are having! If you haven’t already, now is a great time for saying a fond farewell to anything you’ve loved, but that isn’t for you anymore, or to things that you want to take a break from. That leaves the path … Continue reading
My daughter is thirteen. Last week she came home from school upset because her group of close friends were having a party and hadn’t invited her and one other girl. They had lied about what they were doing that afternoon (they had a half day) and then proceeded to post photos and videos of the … Continue reading
It hardly feels like a week since my last blog let alone a month! That’s because it’s been a really busy few weeks since getting the last notes on ‘Fenn Halflin and the Seaborn’ (to be published in July) and school visits for World Book Day, where I’ve been running workshops to help children write … Continue reading
Hi everyone! I’m feeling very, very appreciative at the moment! Well, I always try to focus on the great things in my life and our beautiful world, as you know, but right now I’m so full of gratitude I could burst! I’m going to share a few of the things on my list, and hope … Continue reading
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
The puppy’s name is Bessie and she’s one of my many excuses, even though she’s not even mine and only comes to visit occasionally. It shames me to admit, but so far this year I’ve written only a few thousand words. I’m full of ideas, but struggling to get into an evening writing routine. I’ve … Continue reading
We’re nearly six years old! And I’m sad to tell you that on our sixth birthday, 1st May, Girls Heart Books will officially close down. It’s been a wonderful journey! But time marches on, and for Julie Sykes, who runs the site with me, and myself, time is the issue. We both have other projects … Continue reading
I have a writing space. And I’m quite fascinated by other writers writing spaces. I don’t always write in my writing space, but I do always use it for editing. It’s a place to retreat to away from the rest of the house and the rest of the world. Although I can hear the neighbours come … Continue reading
