About

I hail from Warrington Cheshire home of the very classy Kerry Katona and 80's pop star Rick "huge voice" Astley. I'm an ex-copywriter who would really like to write a successful chick lit style novel. I'd also like to write short stories for magazines.

    Hi Jazzy, we haven't seen you on here for ages. How are you? How's the course going, mine finishes at the end of this month. Working on my final assignment at the moment. Boy this writing lark is hard work, lol. How is your writing going? Good to see you back on here.

    I'm glad to herar that Parky is getting you out more than you were. That's a big step in the right direction. I considered a small dog and just letting it out in the garden, but it's not a very big garden and it would be totally unfair to any dog not to take it for a walk or a romp. I'm not sure I could afford one, they can be quite expensive with food, shots and vet bills etc. Maybe I should get a goldfish, lol.

    Oh I'd love a dog, but it would be unfair as I can't walk it. I grew up with a dog and I really miss having one. I think it would be company for me to being stuck in the house. People have said I should get a cat, but I'm not keen on cats to be honest. Enjoy your new addition to the family. How's the writing course going?

    I think I have said this before, but I have heard some very bad comments about them.

    Well to be fair she has already had like fifty kids so she's probably a bit tired at this point.

    It's Stephen Fry of course he does!!!

    If there was a chance of a Stephen Fry love child you should go for it and explain to your partner later....they'd understand most likely.

    Hmmm. It sounded as if he must have been depressed. As for the love child thing, your partner probably wouldn't mind so long as he/she hads as much money as a certain Mr Fry. That's how mine always reacts when I ponder similar questions.

    Stephen Fry? Leaving? I'm not into Twitter myself, but he's one person who would tempt me on. I hope he's not going into a 'down' phase.

    I'm doing an open university creative writing course. Be careful with the writers beaurau (is that how you spell it?) I've heard very mixed feedback on that course. Apparantly they make you spend money on lots of mags and things. I think they centre on short articles for publication. If you want to write a novel, I don't think that they are the best, but they seem to help people who write short stories. Let me know how you get on.
