Have Dongle, Will Travel. Lizzie Lamb’s Writing Caves!
Please welcome in the new year with Lizzie Lamb and her writing caves. You can always tell an ex-teacher – they’re always so organised! Over to you, Lizzie: Back in the day my husband bought a ‘secret caravan’ off eBay for £300 because he was not sure I would take to the life. Talk about ‘ducks to water.’ We are […]
New Beginnings
After a dismal summer, the mornings are feeling distinctly crisp, there’s dew on the car windscreens and it’s getting dark by eight thirty. Autumn’s on its way! Fewer hours of daylight notwithstanding, it’s a season I love. I’m not a fan of very hot weather so prefer the cool sharp days and clear blue skies, and the beauty of the leaves turning. There’s always another […]
Rachel Barnett’s Writing Cave
I’m delighted to have Rachel Barnett on the blog today. Here she is describing her writing cave and a little about her writing process. If Rachel’s books are half as much fun as she is, then they’re a must-read! Over to you, Rachel … My writing space has been put to many uses over the […]
Spring is on its way!
It’s sunny and warm here in Devon today and spring finally seems to be on the way. I’m heading into the garden for the traditional Bank Holiday weekend plant up, tidy up and inevitable bad back! What are you all up to? I’ve been having a play on Canva and produced this. Lovely to see […]
Ros Rendle: Take Three Books
Please welcome award-winning author Ros Rendle, and a fascinating choice of books which mean most to her. I agree, Ros, it’s an impossible decision! Over to you: Hello, and thank you so much, Georgia, for this opportunity. Three books is a great idea but hard to whittle it down to only three. Here goes! What […]
A Giddy Gadabout Part 1
Brace yourself campers. This is a long one! This month I signed up to do NaNoWriMo. I promised to write 50,000 words during November. That means roughly 2,000 words a day. As the current work in progress stands at about 50,000, I thought it might give me the incentive to get the first draft finished. https://nanowrimo.org/ I didn’t […]
Order! Order!
I thought it might be useful (and it’s excellent procrastination in order to avoid the edits!) to list the Berecombe books in order. Useful info if you’ve come to the series halfway through. The book that started it all: When I wrote Millie Vanilla’s Cupcake Café, I had no idea it would turn into a […]
News … News … News!
Sorry to have neglected you. The little matter of a detached retina got in the way. All very frightening but I’m well on the way to recovery now. Just goes to prove you never know what’s around the corner even if you can see that far … I’m still rationing screen time but had to drop […]
Thank you!
Have meant to do this for a while now but, guess what, I’m chasing a deadline. Again! I think this post comes under the category of procrastination. I’ve been on a steep learning curve ever since being published by Harper Impulse back in 2013. The world of publishing was all very new to me. I’m […]
Lynn’s Room with a View
I’m thrilled to welcome good friend Lynn Forth onto the blog today to talk about her writing cave. Over to you, Lynn, tell all! My first books were written on the family shared computer, so I had to fit in around other people. This led to some fraught exchanges. Now, bliss, my own computer and my […]
