Writing!

I was thrilled to get a mention on Jo Derrick’s blog Jo Derrick Fiction along with Wendy Clarke. Wendy has been extremely successful since she started writing two years ago. 

Anyone involved in writing is almost certainly familiar with Jo's name. Jo was the publisher/editor of literary magazines, Quality Women's Fiction and The Yellow Room and is someone I've always admired and respected very much.

On the subject of writing for magazines, the People’s Friend fiction editor, Shirley Blair has written another blog about writing for the Friend. You can read it here.

I have a new assistant. He sits at the other writer’s desk which is next to mine and tells me what to write about.

And here’s a picture of me hard at work… oh wait... it's Harley, my muse!

Dusty with his best friend Poppy who he loves so much! He's nearly as big as her now.

And today he wore the dog drying coat that his dad won for him from Dfordog. It’s amazing! So quick and easy to put on after he’s been for a swim. It’s a little big for him at the moment, but he hasn’t finished growing yet – I hope!

I have just popped back to say that Lynne Hackles is the Writer in Residence over at Creative Frontiers. Lynne knows more about the nuts and bolts of writing than just about anyone I know and I'm sure you'll find her daily posts interesting and helpful!
