Diary of a Novel: 2 April 2019
Having abandoned – temporarily – Catch the Rainbow, yesterday I started work on The Beast Within: a Marcie Craig mystery. Marcie Craig is the main protagonist and amateur sleuth in…
Getting organised – so many piles of work!
Today I thought it might be a good idea to get myself organised. I have so many different projects on the go, it was time to weed some out. But…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – decision made
