Reviewing Techniques When Resolving Conflict
This is the first Post on my shiny new laptop. As I wrote, yesterday on my Twitter wall (I think that’s the correct jargon) setting up a new computer is a nightmare of mistakes, misunderstandings and misapprehension. Hence the lack of time to add anything to my blog for a few days.
So I thought, today,...

Writing A Synopsis For A Novel To Submit To Publishing Houses
Your book manuscript is finished. From your Writers' & Artists' Year Book, you've chosen the first publisher you're going to send it to, written your submission proposal letter and sat back and waited. One month. Two. . .
Hang on a minute. Rewind!
A GOOD SYNOPSIS IS KEY TO SUCCESS IN...Proof That God Does Not Exist? Look No Further Than A Bendy Bus!

January Blues
I don’t know about you, but for the last couple of days I’ve been feeling vaguely depressed. Some of my feelings of malaise are undoubtedly to do with tiredness brought on by having a houseful of guests to feed, and the late nights spent sitting on hard, upright chairs, playing games like Mexican Train Double...

Manuscript Formatting
BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR BOOK TO A PUBLISHER
I received a manuscript, yesterday, from a friend who wants me to look it over for a client of hers (she's a Life Coach). I have to confess that with the departure of all my visiting family after the Christmas break, bed-changing, washing and...
