EDIT sorry the article is not coming today, duè to more vet trip and yet another sleepless night, I’m not functioning well enough to rewrite it.

I’ll get it sorted and add it back into my article queue.  Thanks for all your support and understanding. Xx

It appears today’s article didn’t save properly, which was why only my draft version notes published… also at the wrong time and on the wrong date.  Could it be any more messy!!

Sorry about that. I will try and get the article re-written and uploaded tomorrow.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Ari runs the #MerryWriters tag game on Twitter which is really useful to meet other like minded writers. Anyway, Ari has some great words about how writers see other writers and… read the post, it’s great stuff! Go and look at her site and see what she’s up to, thanks again Ari!

Firstly, I want to say thank you to Simon for inviting me to guest post on his blog.  I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you.

A damaging mindset

I connect with a lot more writers than I did a few years back, which is great, but I am still saddened by just how…
