Eerily similar thoughts

Have you ever noticed that when you share your life with someone for many years you start to think the same? I have been with my husband for eighteen years and although we are very different people we sometimes think along the same lines. I could be sitting there thinking about something and all of…

Children and relationships

I was discussing this with a friend the other day and she was saying she would choose her children over her husband any day. I do tend to agree with this, you can replace a husband but you cannot replace your children. The reason for our discussion was that she felt her husband was too…

Does being a writer put a strain on your relationship?

I want to hear from all you writers out there, personally since I began my series I have to say it has put a strain on my relationship at times. There is so much that goes into writing a book and even though I can be in the same room as everyone while I’m writing…

Squirrels

  Squirrels, cute aren’t they but also quite spiteful. Where my children go to school there are loads of squirrels running about, some are even quite brave and will actually get in your way rather than avoiding you. I remember once that on the way back from the school before I was driving I was…

Not the wisest of ideas!

Not so welcome memory!

I got talking to an old friend about when we were younger and she brought up a not so pleasant event from my past! I left school at sixteen and went straight into full time work in a supermarket stacking shelves. The job description meant that I had to spend a fair bit of time…

What makes you decide to buy a book?

Whether the author is a bestseller or self-published doesn’t feature in my decision, neither does someones recommendation although I do…

Personality test

I did a personality test on a website to determine what kind of writer I am. These were the results: Brave creative. You are a self expressive writer who is focused on an almost spiritual kind of creative growth. Your writing is filled with courage, honesty, and personal authenticity. You dare to share the secret…
