This blog is for all things writing-related... I've been writing for half my life now. Scary. I write contemporary, literary fiction with dark psychological thriller strands. I need to get published before my last marble rolls into the river Trent. For God's sake, help me. :)

Ten Guilt-free Ways to avoid writing...
1 - From work, send yourself an urgent memo that requires immediate attention
2 - Ask someone reliable round for dinner so that you have to promptly clean the house
3 - When drunk, remove the fuse from your P.C so you'll think it's broken when you're sober
4 - Ask a neighbour - no questions asked - to lock you in their shed for a few days
5 - Accidentally slam your hand on the desk, breaking the wrist of your dominant arm
6 - Accidentally delete your book so that you have to return to the drawing board, (feet-up procrastination part)
7 - Ring your doctor and describe the symptoms of Severe Cognitive Dysfunction. Accept a trial of rehabilitation in a dementia-registered home for a week. Or two.
8 - Ask a friend to run you over, gently. Pretend it's for charity
9 - Lather your laptop in marmite & leave it in a small room with your teething puppy
10 - Decide to become a landscape gardener instead.

How to be cheery when the chips are down
1 - Eat the bloody chips
2 - Go for a brisk walk in the biting spring wind
3 - Open that bottle and don't share it
4 - Seek out comedy and laugh till your bladder splodes
5 - Gurn for the video camera
6 - Share above on facebook
7 - Be nice to people. Give and get back
8 - Eat curry or fill your face with chocolate
9 - Stroke the cat / dog to relieve stress
10 - Stroke your boyfriend / girlfriend / someone's husband..
(Disclaimer: any repercussions are not my fault. You're an adult. You make your own decisions. And if you get beaten up it's nothing to do with me, sorry)
