I have been a writer all my life, having the odd article published here and there, but always the bridesmaid in short-story writing competitions. In 2011 I published my first book - Vic's Big Walk from SW France to NW England. I have given myself the objectives of publishing 3 more books in 2012 and 2013, in addition to winning a short-story competition

Stuck In A Hole
Maybe I shouldn't have said that - about the story flowing out through my fingers when I sit down at the keyboard.
I have written scores of stories, but for the first time ever, I have sat down with a basic, very sketchy idea of a story in my head, written a few paragraphs, then backed off, having decided I need to think more about what I am doing.
I seem to have a bit of a paranormal tale on my hands, with a very sick woman seeking shelter in a cave from a storm.. I know roughly what will happen, but am a bit stuck with how exactly to deal with it.
I have another 10 days before the story has to be whizzed into the ether, but it will be a busy ten days for us as Gay's sister is arriving from Australia tomorrow and we shall be doing a lot more driving and sightseeing than we normally do on our own, as we try to give her a taste of New Zealand.
