I’ve been writing so much recently I think I had forgotten how to do so creatively. I can get an idea no problem, but it’s my descriptive text that’s evading me. Writing in the first person is hard to carry off for a whole book. I am boring myself with the tone of this writing.…

Read MoreA little Taco Tale
Back in the looooong ago days when I first ever ever joined Twitter one of the first people I spoke to was Jack of Californian taco and burrito eaterie, Illegal Jacks.

Hello and Happy New Years! 2013 is going to be full of so many good memories, I want you to be ready for them. Find an empty, clean, large, glass Jar. Every time you hear a piece of good news, write it down on a scrap of paper and put it into your jar. Get…
Read MoreSubmitted a little story….
….to Burst. told to do it by a fellow writer, so I did. Writing short stories are like eating a cheeky donut to me. A real pleasure. Especially if that is an iced donut. And even more so if that donut has creme in the middle. AND if that donut has coffee on the side………Ooh…

Read MoreOkay, I Admit it, I’m In Love….
Everyone always says that you only fall in love when you stop looking. If you don’t force it, if you stop looking, that’s when it turns up. I’m surprised, I have to say. A few days ago, out of the blue I realised it had happened. I was in love, I am in love. I’ve…

Read MoreEverything Has Already Been Done.
When planning a journey, I am not the sort of girl to consult a map. Edinburgh I know like the back of my hand, but when going any further i’d most likely Google the route, check which roads I need to be on, maybe check for landmarks then set out. Half the fun for me…
Read MoreI Love Candy
The Robbie Williams song Candy has been going round and around my head these last few days, thank to Forth Radio and Boogie playing it! It’s resonating through my fingers as I drum it on the sideboard and sweetly (?) emitting from my lips, possibly in a sound only Dolphins can understand, but hey.. don’t…
