About

  • This blog was set up in 2006 as a resource for parents of multiple birth children.

    But it has moved on to include journalism, fiction, media requests and advice under the 'Write away' category as well as the odd bit of nonsense about my family and eating too much cake.

    I'm the director of a small Midlands agency contributing features as well as commercial writing work, training and new media consultancy.

    Check out the news and events page for details of training workshops.

Linda, I love reading your blog and articles and would count you as one of my inspirations. You're a real, proper grown-up writer and I'd like to be like you when I grow up!

Linda

Oh my, hello :) thanks for being so so kind! But it's complete nonsense you know. A few of the people I've listed here have met me in real life - and one used to live with me - so they could soon put you straight! In fact a lovely old friend got in touch last night and asked if I was "still falling off walls." Sadly, the answer was yes. Arf.

diane

Ha, every time I type "gah" or even "pah" and especially "meh" (three of my favourites) I think of you and feel a bit shamefaced!

I will have a go at this when I've sorted out my blog, I think...

Linda

Thanks Diane. :) Look forward to your answers.

Want to know the other one that winds me up (for no sane reason?) Starting a sentence with: Is it just me or...?'
The answer's yes. Next question.

See what Louise said here!

Thanks Louise!

I knew it would be a corker

The Wordsmith has risen to the challenge here:

And what a riser he/she is.

Well, I've met you in real life, Linda, and KNOW that you are an amazing, grown-up writer and will definitely get published. All you need to do is give up those pesky day jobs ......very, very touched by the mention, thank you xxx

exmoorjane

Oh wow. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Linda. But seriously, you are such a stunning writer you ought not to need any encouragement or validation from anyone else (though I know, I know - I am exactly the same! And, who knows, maybe good writers are always questioning themselves, always wanting to be better). Sorry I have been an arsebiscuit blogger and tweeter and commentator recently - have been battling my own writing demons with regard to fiction.
But I know, just KNOW that one day I will be holding your published novel in my hands and boasting like fury to everyone who will listen, 'Hey, I KNOW her!' And I will be so proud, but not the remotest bit surprised.
In the meantime I just have the most huge respect for you as a journalist and blogger and all-round fabulous human being.

Wow you have done some amazing things. I really don't know how you do it all.

Hi Linda, thanks for putting together this meme; it's really thought provoking. I've joined in after seeing your comment on BMB writer's group!

What a fabulous meme and thank you so much for the lovely mention, particularly since I use gah, meh and eep all the time.

Will do it later this week. K x

I am soooo behind on memes. Give me a kick when you see me next and I'll hopefully get there. :D Ta for including me though.

Just wanted to come and read your meme, really enjoyed it and well done on creating it yourself.

I received 1 st mortgage loans when I was 25 and that helped me a lot. However, I require the consolidation loans once again.

Don't you acknowledge that it's high time to get the loan, which can make you dreams real.
