Just close your eyes and jump in? First step is done: I have an idea. I have ideas for scenes and can play them in my head, what I need to work out is how they all fit together into a tangible narrative. I have just downloaded a free trial of Scrivener to see if…

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. Rather than a phase being particularly difficult to say goodbye, it was welcoming a phase that snuck up on me without me realising. It’s the phase that we all have to go through. The realisation of what it is to become an adult.…

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? ‘I like you’ could become ‘I think you’re nice.’ ‘I like that cardigan’ could be, ‘that’s a pretty cardigan.’ ‘I slept like a log could be ‘I slept similar to a log.’ ‘He was like no, and I was…

Who are your favorite people to be around? The anxiety I often feel is hitting me pretty hard today so I am inclined to say nobody. But that is not true. I love being around my boyfriend because he is one person who fully accepts me as I am and I can say anything to…

People rave about this book and to be honest I don’t get it. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I wouldn’t go and tell the world and his wife that they need to read it. The difference in their social class and social standing is well observed, and following that shift as they grow up…

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. Gah, I love shoes. The film ‘In her Shoes’ made me realise how much I love shoes because they always look good. Even if I’ve put on weight I can still get into those shoes. I talked about how much i love…
