I thought I’d try something new with my blog. I’m not a big fan of assigning certain subjects to certain days – to be honest, I just don’t have the time to be organised with that. However, one of the reasons I started this blog was so I could communicate/share/swap ideas with other writers out […]

Today was such a constructive day. Thank God for that, I say! I did so much writing I can’t believe it. Well, a lot of it was character development. And boy did I develop. I even have a title for my project – and I wanted to share it with you. World, I’d like to […]
