Last week was not the best. I did not see trouble on the horizon either, because the week started well. I reset the dreaded alarm, started going to bed at the same time, managed to get a couple of morning walks in and had two good business meetings. However, my hormones had other ideas, strengths […]
This has not been my most productive week. I put that down to the time spent trying to spin a spy story out of thin air. This is what happens when you create intrigue, people like it and they want you to do more. Just a couple of encouraging comments about Back in Service transformed […]
My new business cards arrived and I’ve been slowly getting my ‘twitter’ on. I met with a Business Advisor from a local enterprise scheme, then I had to put my big girl pants on for my first ever networking meeting. Everyone I met was encouraging and helpful, which naturally generated more things for me to […]
It is very easy to say, ‘if you want to be a writer, you must write’ but it’s a whole other thing to actually write. The advice available on writing is vast and most approaches will include ‘going for a walk’ at some point. It is still good advice for many reasons, but to be […]
In the midst of being fired up and mapping out ideas for my website, I was experiencing difficulty. In my head, it seemed easy. I wanted the website to showcase my work, ability and style, I also wanted to offer my copywriting services. I researched a couple of blogging sites, other writers, copywriters, chose the […]
I do not have superhuman skills, though when reminded by a dear friend of a five year anniversary I am slightly taken aback by the tasks I have undertaken since that time.

The enormity of the task I’ve set for myself finally kicked in this week. There is a ton of stuff to do. Like every new phase of life, this one feels different and it is. It’s uncharted territory, also the research and advice I’ve encountered are letting me know this is going to be hard. On the […]
I’ve had two weeks of winter blues and general malaise. So coffee and a chat with a friend early in the week was a welcome distraction. It ended up being a worthwhile heart to heart discussion that I did not know I needed. The following day I released the old shackles of negativity, low self-esteem and […]
Good news. I have a brand new follower, it’s exciting and I couldn’t be happier. As soon as I can work out how to reciprocate and come up with a Gravatar (an online identifier, I think) things will be even better! I’ll add that to the never-ending list of things to do. Seven months into […]
Memories of Morocco are gently fading into the distance, only to be relived in snippets of conversation and the photographs which I promise to do something meaningful with this time. The writing process is enjoying various peaks and troughs – some days are extremely productive on other days creeping doubt comes for a visit distracting […]
