REVIEW: The Ultimate Small Business Marketing Book by Dee Blick

JackieBarrie — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:00:13 +0000

Pin It Disclaimer: I was introduced to Dee on Twitter by @1230jackie. When I heard she was signing copies of her new book at Waterstones’ in Croydon, I went along to meet her in real life. It would have been churlish to leave without buying a copy (and I’m no churl!). So I did, at [...]

Pay attention to your dreams… they come straight from your heart

Special Guest — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:00:20 +0000

Pin It by guest contributor Sarah Riley I’ve always dreamt of becoming a writer, but I never really believed I’d be good at it. For instance, my first novel for children will definitely never see the light of day. However, the whole process of writing is something that really lights my fire. I love every [...]

Hey you! Snarky commenter, this post IS about you.

Yes you. Click play and then read… Leaving comments on blog posts is a great way to have conversation and becoming part of a community. As in real life, there is always one who doesn’t understand the rules… so I am going to explain what they are and you of course will disagree and do your own [...]

Magic with words

Ann Godridge — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Pin It One of my favourite quotes is from writer John Steinbeck - “A writer lives in awe of words for they can be cruel or kind, and they can change their meanings right in front of you.” I often wonder that we ever manage to communicate at all – language is so fluid, and [...]

Interview with Ali Hale, Writing Coach

Ann Godridge — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 13:00:00 +0000

Pin It Before working with Ali, of course I indulged my curiosity as most of us do these days, and went to read her blogs and find out something about her background. This blog in particular took my eye – as someone who was talked into studying Law back in 1977, and then who didn’t [...]

What’s that in dog years?

Ann Godridge — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 13:00:00 +0000

Pin It asked Ryan, when I said earlier today that although I’m a crabby old bat, I’m actually a young writer. What I mean of course, is that I have a lot to learn; and I’m hoping it is possible for an old dog to learn new tricks. I’m currently reading a book about writing [...]

Experimenting on Humans

Ann Godridge — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 09:00:00 +0000

that’s really what I’m doing, when I write a story. They are only thought experiments, and my characters aren’t exactly human either, so I’m not doing a great deal of harm. The worst I am doing is boring the people who have to read what I write – my other experimental subjects At the [...]

What exactly counts as publication?

Ann Godridge — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:00:50 +0000

Pin It My goal for this year, next year, actually my ultimate goal of all goals, is to get published. I’ve been submitting stories for the past couple of years, and I’m working on a novel, so it seems fairly obvious what I’m aiming for. Image via Wikipedia Except over the past few years there [...]

Beating bloggers block

Sarah Arrow — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:00:20 +0000

I should imagine bloggers block is somewhat like writers block. Being a blogger rather than a writer I can’t be sure 100% With writers block your fans wait, for your newspaper, magazine or book. The editor may schedule in someone else and you may lose you column that month but it could get scheduled the [...]

Avoiding Bad Sex

Ann Godridge — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:00:33 +0000

Write what you know, is the rule. And as Margaret Atwood says, “It’s the blood in the cookie that makes the gingerbread person come alive.” In both of the novels I am writing, there are unavoidable sex scenes, places where a closed door or a line of asterisks simply won’t do the job. Reading the [...]
