Because None of Us Get it Right All of the Time – WIPpet Wednesday

It's a glorious thing to be human. But the thing about being human is that none of us get it right all of the time. And that applies especially to me in so many areas of my life. Especially when it comes to writing. At least I'm not the only one - today one of …

Feeling Let Down: WIPpet Wednesday

It's been a rough week. We lost a beloved friend to cancer, and it hurt. And in a cruel double-whammy we also saw the legal system fail spectacularly. As a lawyer I've seen it before, but rarely in such a cruel fashion. Going through a week like this makes you realise you need to cherish …

Suffering in Silence – WIPpet Wednesday

Today I felt like licking my wounds and curling up in the fetal position; an hour or so in the dentist's chair will do that to a girl. But when you're a Mum, even if you're feeling fragile, you just have to suck it up and get on with it. At least I was feeling …

Excuses – Wednesday WIPpet

For once I'm not the one making excuses today on the blog. I've been very productive.

Relatives, friends, the kids friends, neighbours... It seems water pistols are stashed all over the yard, and when I asked my …

The Return of WIPpet Wednesday: Spoilers

A new year and a renewed passion for writing! *sighs contentedly* I blame it entirely on being on summer holidays, and being able to stay up late and sleep in *sigh of still-not-quite-believing-it-myself amazement*. My children have finally (after many many years) realised the pleasure of easing into the morning - or at least letting …

Dragons – WIPpet Wednesday

WIPpet Wednesday is a blog-hop where writers throw open their Work in Progress to give you a sneak peak into their writing life. I had promised to post something about dragons this week - so here is 10(ish) paragraphs from the prologue of The Legend of the Kings (Book 3). (Please remember this is very …

A Time for Answers: WIPpet Wednesday

It's WIPpet Wednesday again, where I crack open my Work in Progress to give you a peak at my writerly heart. Today's WIPet, in honour of the 27th is taken from page 27 of The Legend of the Kings. Legend was the book that started this great big epic fantasy of mine and I've been …
