Welcome to 'Writing away the day!'


Welcome to my new writing blog! I have finally decided to pursue my dreams of writing. Why now? A variety of different reasons. I'm going through a bit of a tough time at the moment and writing is a way of helping me to deal with that, I am enjoying writing more and more whether it be creatively or for a specific purpose and that it has always been a dream of mine and I've decided to procrastinate no longer!

This little blog will hopefully encourage me to keep writing, and more importantly, to share some of my writing with the world. It may be criticised, if may be liked, it may make me decide not to pursue particular goals but in the end it will help me to make time and do the things I enjoy.

So I thought I'd introduce myself first off. I am currently a Secondary English/Media teacher, am married and have a daughter who is nearly 2! Where that time has gone I will never know! I live in the UK and enjoy all types of writing. Austen has to be my favourite but I do enjoy our more modern day authors such as Kelk, Matthews and Kinsella. My heart definitely lies in the classics and my job keeps it there for many hours but some escapism is important and that is the comfort I find in the more modern 'chick lit' that I am so fond of.

I will try and keep this blog all to do with writing in some way but my 'normal' day to day life or general ramblings may encroach a little at times, as you may expect it would!

I would love to share this journey with fellow writers and shall be seeking out some new writing blogs of my own to follow.

I will try and write what is in my heart and see where it takes me!
