When I shared ‘The Power of Twitter and making Wonderful Connections’ blog entry the other day, I had no idea how helpful it would be for those in the #amwriting community.

Heya again guys! On Twitter, #1linewed is a weekly theme where one word is given, and we have to show something from our #wip with that particular word. Now, due to the fact that I am nearing agent submission, I am not showing any of my originals, but…… Fanfiction is my thing! I have been […]

Personal Views I have wanted to write this essay for three nights, and finally, I am ready to get it all out. There are some TV series that have a lasting, profound effect on me. Life on Mars is just that. When it came onto our screens in 2006, it wasn’t only addictive because it […]
