The Familiar's Witch

I'm a writer.  Yes, I am.  I used to tell myself (and any other poor soul who had the heart to listen) that I was a 'wannabe writer', but that's not true.  I write therefore I am a writer. 

So, what do I write?  I write paranormal stories.  But what genre?  All.  In fact, I'm a tad lazy and write the 'all in one' paranormal story that has a bit of romance, thriller, horror and comedy all thrown in for good measure.  If I ever get published - correction - when I get published - they'll have to define a new genre just for me and my work.  Well, they did it for Terry Pratchett - so why not me, too?

Now, writers have rules albeit silly rules.  Apparently, you have to write 200 words a day, every day, for a year.  This way, after 12 months, your story is down on paper in rough form.  When writing your 200 days a day, every day, you must never, ever, ever break the golden rule or reading (or dare I say it - correcting...) your written work.  I think I must be a rebel.  I tend to write when I want and as much as I want and some days I don't even write at all.  I know, me baddd.....  And, because I am a rule-breaker, I've written and rewritten my story several times over for 10 years or more.  It's a growing, evolving process.  Just when you think you know where you're going, you characters change their minds and take you on a mystery tour - all very confusing.

Now, I'm blogging to 1) keep me on my heels and 2) keep you all informed as to where my characters are in their story, where I'm stuck, where I'm going, and why I'm making lemon curd or apple chuckney rather than writing those precious 200 words per day.....

Hi Kaz

Hopefully this is how you wanted it. Some of the backgrounds and templates conflict. I have changed you template to the basic Minima template like my one, to do this I went into your Edit html and changed the settings at the bottom, so if if you want it back let me know and I will do it for you.


 Anymore problems just give me a shout xxx
