getting back in the Saddle

Had a long break over Xmas and New Year. Lots of family stuff, which was great and lots of walking, with and without dogs. Back at my desk now and thrilled to have been offered a Writing Residency at The University of Manitoba for 3 months, starting September 2015. I can't wait. It's a part of Canada I've always wanted to visit and the university itself sounds wonderful and challenging.


Just read a great article by Uri Avnery, one of Israel’s founders, challenging the historical veracity of the Bible. A very brave thing to write and so eloquent. Here's the link: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40620.htm

It made me want to look again at the draft of a novel I wrote some year's back, called The Angel Curse. It's only in first draft form but I keep wanting to go back and do more work on it. Perhaps it's because I'm getting older, that I want to finish off every draft I've started; impossible, given the number of files I've got but perhaps if I get them all to a reasonable level, someone else could complete them? Wishful thinking.

So back to the drawing board and my new young adult novel: The Palace of the Marble Dogs, which should keep me busy for this year!! All good wishes to you all for 2015.

Can't see the blog for January. Do you know what's happened to it?

    As well as being an avid reader of many different genres, I'm also interested in the whole process of writing.
    How other writers set about a new piece of writing for example. I'm also intrigued to know how readers make decisions about what to read.
