Do You Need A Proofreader?
Do you need a proofreader? Oh, hell yes! Let me tell you, before I ran this through AI, and then got my husband to check it, this had at least 5 mistakes. Now, before you start clutching your pearls and gasping…

Can You Take Criticism?
This is a question you must ask yourself if you want to be a writer. By nature, we humans have an opinion and no matter where you are, there is always an abundance of people ready to tell you theirs. This applies tenfold to writers. You see, once you publish something, it’s out there, and… Continue reading Can You Take Criticism?
Pride Before A Fail
You know how they say pride comes before a fall? Well, I just fell hitting five rungs of the ladder on the way down. That’s how many questions I got wrong for my second assessment in my proofreading and copy writing course. “But wait,” I hear you say. “Five questions isn’t many.” And it wouldn’t… Continue reading Pride Before A Fail
Back To School, I Go
Have you ever seen an advert for something on-line that really caught your attention and the next thing you know, 24 hours have passed, you have scoured the Internet, and your bank balance has dropped because you signed up for a college course that you don’t even know if you can pass? No? Just me then!… Continue reading Back To School, I Go

The local shops and supermarkets are testament to the fact that people expect to be holed up in their toilet paper… Continue reading The Selfish Side Of The British Public!
Coronageddon!
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past couple of months, you will have found it impossible to miss the outbreak of the Corona Virus. The world is slowly entering chaos as the media report every case, every death, and every new detail they can about this flu like illness and as… Continue reading Coronageddon!
Just Like In The Movies (Kind Of)
You know how you see things in films and think…. I wish I could do that. Well, I do that a lot and recently I had a chance to try something I’d seen. Unfortunately, it didn’t go quite the way I expected. It all started when the husband and I decided to have a mini… Continue reading Just Like In The Movies (Kind Of)
