Er hello??

Oh dear, now where was I?

Okay, I know it’s been a while, all right, 5 whole weeks since I last blogged but this is what happens when you decide to embark upon a ‘month of brave’ – life goes a bit mental.

If I told you everything I’ve done this past month I’d have to kill you – or make you go and live in Grimsby or something – but edited highlights include:

• Going on an ‘unleash your inner artist’ workshop and telling complete strangers my deepest fears.
• Writing another 6 poems!!!
• Going to a venue called Club Romance  – which truly was as scary as it sounds and if you don’t believe me check out the picture below…

Club Romance?

• Forming a secret writers’ society
• Going on a ghost hunt
• Going on my first ever writing retreat
• Going to a Gay, Lesbian and Transfabulous Festival at the V&A and almost getting beaten to a pulp by a very butch lesbian (I thought they were all supposed to be sexy and into lipstick these days!)
• Commissioning an artist to design the cover for my new book for Young Adults, Dear Dylan.
• Deciding not to give up on my dream of writing a thriller and re-plotting my first draft.

And these are just the edited highlights! For anyone out there who is thinking of embarking upon their own ‘month of brave’ (basically all you have to do is one thing that scares or challenges you every day for a month)then please don’t be put off by the photo above!

I can honestly say I have had the best time – life changing in fact.

So why not go for broke and make 2010 the year you say yes to life and no to fear? Who knows what might happen, but it’s guaranteed to be interesting.

I will be back on the blog now – so please call again soon. I have some exciting changes in store for this site including a gym where you will find weekly writing exercises and a garage sale – where I will actually be giving stuff away for free…
