So. Today I have decided to write a thing. What kind of thing. I hear you ask. And I reply, a very good thing.
Opussing becomes difficult. Its hard to write quality stuff all the time. I try not to post things that people won't want to read- although the one about the throne was borderline drivel.
I'm going to upload chapter 2 tonight. Lily is the MC but throught the novel I allow Denny to come in as a secondary voice, giving another perspective.

I want to write for me. I want to write for the sake of writing. For the sake of expressing. For the sake of providing an outlet to my plethora of emotions. I want to write because words are...
There is no such thing as rubbish writing. Getting your ideas out is the first step to your masterpiece. Without words you will never produce a novel. Don't restrain your imagination with editing.
The most valuable thing to a writer is a reader. Yesterday, one of my husband's cousins requested to read *Drift* so I sent them a pdf copy of the full manuscript.
One of the most useful things I learned in uni, is that an introduction should answer three W's: what are you going to do, how are you going to do it and why is it interesting.
I went to Chicago on Friday and we recorded the "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me... Royal Pain In The Year" Special. It airs on BBC America (TV) and on Public Radio on December the 23rd.
