What’s the best thing about being a writer?

"It's the perfect job. Indoors, and always near a teapot."

When I told my mother that I rather fancied this description of an author's life, she told me that in my case, it would be more accurate to say "always near a wine bottle." Well, she's not wrong.

I am possessed of a rather overactive imagination; I always have been. As a writer, I am able to bring the things I dream to life in prose, and there is nothing more thrilling for a lifelong lover of the written word. Unfortunately I fear I have far too many stories in my head to ever tell in a single lifetime, but I am having enormous fun trying! (less)

I attempted the Goodreads Challenge for 2019 and failed miserably, due in no small part to the fact that I could not could reading the book I was working on over and over again. Here's hoping I have grown as both a writer and a reader in 2020, because I am determined to read fifty books this year in addition to finishing my second novel.

My first book of the year is Daphne du Maurier's incomparabl Read more of this blog post »

“For such is the nature of love. You make choices, you do what you think is right, and you must allow others the same, even if the risk is great, even if they suffer regret. To do so is their choice, and theirs alone.”
