  • Copyright

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] I am a writer and lucky enough to have been published in a variety of magazines. I have shared some of my fiction on this blog, blithely ignorant of any resulting copyright issues. Today this will stop and I will no longer crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. How will…

  • Why You Should Never Trust A Man In Uniform

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] I am a mother. No, not that kind of mother. The nurturing and caring kind. I always have been, even before I had a baby of my own. When my other half and I moved in together we thought the patter of little feet would complete our domestic bliss and after one…

  • CatchWord

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com]   On twitter today was a hashtag thread of #greatwords. There were some truly wonderful bon mots flying across the ether: gobshite, skedaddle, mittens. Being the smart arse you all know and (usually) tolerate, I had to join in. My contribution? Floccinaucinihilipilification. Yes, this really is a word. It’s definition is the estimation of something as valueless (encountered…

  • Stranger Danger

    One of the most important rules of internet usage we teach our children is to never, ever agree to meet up with people we meet online. No matter how nice they seem, how much you have in common and how innocent their requests are, you must never ever take the risk.

  • Follow Me, Follow You*

    This post is the result of reading Nicola Morgan’s great Twitter Workshop Posts and a quiet, self contained rant I’ve just had with the poodles about ‘people who follow me on twitter’. Not you of course, dear reader. I’m talking about the new followers, the ones I don’t follow back. Let me explain.

  • Clean Sheets and a Handy Vine

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] My good friend had Sebastian Faulk’s Birdsong ruined for her because one of the characters managed to strip a bed, wash and dry the sheets and make it back up again in the course of an afternoon. “I have difficulty doing that now with all the mod cons in my kitchen How…

  • And The Winner Is…

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] First, I’d like to thank each and every one of you who bothered to read my blog last night or this morning and leave your vote. I was amazed by the response I had and you have my heartfelt gratitude. I weighed up all your arguments and gave it loads of thought…

  • I Have A Dilemma

    I have a dilemma I’d like some help with. I have decided to have a go at NaNoWriMo this year and am torn over which project to go with. Perhaps you wouldn’t mind having a quick look at the rough outlines for each and letting me know which one you vote for?

  • Star Sailors** and New Beginnings

    I love Star Trek. There, I’ve said it. Right from the first series through the Movies, TNG and several of the spin offs, I have been an excited and loyal fan. I have sat and watched as Kirk fought off more women than aliens and Picard fought the memories of being Locutus of Borg. Now,…

  • Summer’s End

    When my mum came to stay with us almost three years ago, we had just put our summer clothes up in the attic. She came to stay because she had been falling out of bed and I believed – foolishly – that I was a good enough person to cope with having her live with…
