About me
I'm a freelance writer - fiction, nonfiction and anything else that happens to tango its way through my mind. That's for me, and I've won a competition or two, and been published in a range of media. To keep the wolf from the door, I also edit, proofread and write for other people. Love it all. Aren't I lucky?

DAILY PROMPT Panic Small things amuse small minds, so they say. Which is fine by me. I’m quite happy to admit that my tiddly little mind finds regular entertainment scrolling through the headlines on my news outlets of choice and … Continue reading

DAILY PROMPT Together https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/together/
Daily post: True. Mostly.
DAILY PROMPT Perplexed I don’t do ‘perplexed’. Not now. Perplexity is for those with expectations: those who think the world should make sense; that a+b should equal a+b. But now that I’ve been around awhile, I’ve realised that due to … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Twinkle plop zing whatever…
DAILY PROMPT Zing! Zing went the strings of a lot of people’s hearts after the 1934 Broadway revue Thumbs Up! where it all started, and while it might have made them a lot of the nice folding stuff at the … Continue reading
