I did my random word generating over a week ago now, and believe it or not I can’t remember the words I was given that are written in my notebook. Yesterday afternoon I looked at what word I’d been given for C and I slumped lol. A and B were inspiring, C wasnt. So yesterday evening I Googled the word….and there it was, staring me in the face…inspiration lol…let’s hope I don’t get done for treason ๐Ÿ˜‰

The “Nearly” A-Z Poem


Trying to prepare myself for the A-Z Challenge which begins tomorrow *gulp* i dug this out of one of my notebooks…

Prompted by LouAnn at On The Homefront And Beyondย (many months ago!)ย I decided to do an A-Z poem on how I see myself. Ok, it was a bit ambitious, I couldn’t come up with any words that I could describe myself with that started with X or Zย  so i used those in the title. ย Fun challenge LouAnn ๐Ÿ™‚

A Change of Direction…


Hi guys ๐Ÿ™‚ How are you all?

Me? Well, you know, keeping my head above waterโ€ฆjust.

This break from blogging has given me time to think and I’ve come to the conclusion that i need a change. Ive recently had the change of scenery (the house move) which has been greatโ€ฆ.but I’m still not feeling inspired to write fiction, even with my new study ๐Ÿ˜ฆ But what i am feeling inspired to do isย BAKE!ย lol

Why am i finding so much pleasure in cooking at the moment? Is it because its a creative act that gets a quick result? Does that make it more fulfilling? I don’t know. But what i do know is that combining my love of writing with my love of food seems like a natural progression. So I’ve started a new blog…

The Kitchen Adventureย is where i’ll be blogging from now on, well, for theย foreseeable future, in the hopes that it will lead me back to fiction at a later date. I have to stop beating myself up and if that means taking a 6 month break from writing it, thenย I’mย not going to see that as a bad thing. I want to have fun, i want some adventure,ย I’m boredโ€ฆand ifย I’m bored, you guys reading this blog will be too.

Ive joined the RNA New Writers Scheme again, and I’m probably going to submit the Mills & Boon type novel i wrote back in 2012 (remember that? Sorrento Sunrise). I do have another couple of ideas for novels, and I’m hoping, that taking a break, one will call meโ€ฆdoes that make sense?

Anyway, I’m so sorry i haven’t read any of your blogs recently, I’ve felt kind of hermit like to be honest, perhaps its the weather lol. Please don’t hesitate to e mail me (addy on the About me page) if you fancy a chat. And in the meantime, if you fancy some cake pornโ€ฆjust click the link above ๐Ÿ™‚
