I have not forced… Continue reading Participating in NaNoWriMo 2022
Some of you may know I have been participating in NaNoWriMo again this year. I have taken a different method this time; I knew that I wasn't going to complete the 50,000 words and I didn't want to pressure myself to do so.

Introduction After I graduated from De Montfort University (DMU) with a 2:1 in BA Honours Creative Writing and Journalism, I decided to take time out of education.

Naturally, I started to write again and began to recapture what my writing once was.… Continue reading Considering A Masters Degree in Creative Writing
As I said in my last, Nanowrimo post, this is the first time I am participating. I'm a little behind at the minute, but I have caught up a lot since my I last showed you my stat count!
