How has 2015 been treating you so far? Have you been getting those words out and into the world, or are you hoarding them for yourselves?
Well, it’s time to put those fingers into action, so write, write, write!

This week, the UK and fans across the world lost a British soap icon. Anne Kirkbride played Coronation Street’s Deirdre Barlow, the heavy smoking, red wine drinking mother of everyone’s favorite villain, Tracy, and wife of everyone’s favorite philandering husband, Ken. Oh, and maker of the oft-lamented and somewhat reviled Stuffed Marrow.

Let’s shake off the winter blues and get some of that creative energy flowing! It’s nearing the end of January, are you ready to start submitting your work?

After a Friday and weekend of pouting, mostly offline, here I am. A little the worse for wear, a little snarky, a little miffed… but still here.
Because here is where I’m supposed to be, right?

A few more auditory and visual delights to dazzle that brain of yours into writing some fabulous fiction.

We’re two weeks into 2015, and the blues – along with the cold – are settling in for many of us. Time to whip up some yummy, retro-ish snacks!

I slide back and forth between weeks and decades for this post, so try to keep up, will ya?
Trust me, the music is worth it!
