Survived.
Finished. No, not with this blog, but the A-Z. Would I do it again. Yes. It’s been great fun and …. It kept me blogging, even when I didn’t feel in the mood. I’ve met other bloggers and writers. I know I’m not alone. Challenges motivate, and having a theme helped keep me focused. It’s […]
The Wrecking Ball
I was going to entitled this post Writer’s Block, but decided it was too negative. It happens. Today, I added to my work in progress and the words flowed, but this blog post dried up several times in my head, unwritten and the clock ticking. Somebody told me to begin every day writing a few […]
Uniquely me
There’s always a fear lurking in my mind that I might plagiarise. When I compose on the piano, I wonder if I’m simply reproducing a song or tune I once heard a long time ago – an accidental case of unintentional copying. I dismiss this brief anxiety with the reminder I am unique. I’m the […]

A-Z Blogging Challenge and my take on it

Writing a book in a blog
I could have opted to sit in front of the computer, open up Word and start to type. A linear manuscript with a beginning, middle and end. Except, I chose not to do this. I wrote out my outline and ideas swooshed into my head, but not for start, but further into the story. I […]
The writer emerges
When I’m asked what I do for a living, I’m tempted to cop out and refer to my previous career or give my professional title, which I still consider valid. Then, the inquisitive enquirer will want to know where I work, how I spend my day and, in a moment of awkwardness, I would have […]
