  • Sunday afternoons in the Bradley household

    November 22, 2009

    • After I get up I will have 2 (two) cups of tea and pet the cat and feed the cat, and after I have fed the cat and had my 2 (two) cups of tea I will go to the allotment to catch up on everything that needs to be done. After I have weeded and planted and cut back the raspberry canes and watered (watered!) the compost, I will put my spade in the earth and I will come back home for another cup of ...

  • Nights draw in

    November 12, 2009

    • Nothing says the beginning of Winter like putting the clocks back. All of a sudden, we're plunged into darkness, getting ready for work before the sun rises and coming home after it's set. Spend your day in an environment where there isn't much light - a wrong-facing office, say, or an internal ward without windows - and going to work in November starts to resemble the existence of a pit ...

  • A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but cafes are a girl's best friend....

    November 1, 2009

    • Last weekend saw me tagging along behind Ricky on a trip to the South coast. I had a couple of free days, and he had some photographs to take. Although entreated to stand around holding a flash, or to stop passers-by from walking in front of the camera, I demurred. "You want me to take two whole days away from the Big Secret Project?" I shouted. "And get stuck in the middle of ...

  • I'm editing my book!

    October 13, 2009

    • Another month, another round of unsuccessful submissions. (I'm up to two rejections and a deafening silence so far, readers). I'm playing "Writers & Artists' Yearbook Bingo". If you submit your baby to every single address in this book, and get rejected by every single publisher and agent listed, you shout "bingo!" and stand up, waving your copy of the W&A around with ...

  • Hands up if you feel ugly

    September 21, 2009

    • I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that most of us feel ugly at least at some point in our lives. (I'll go further still, and say that if you've never felt ugly, there's probably something the matter with you). And although I've no stats or evidence to back me up, I think it's more common in women than in men.We're constantly surrounded by images of women - in advertising, on TV, in ...

Comments I've Written

  • I don't know Ryoma, I think

    I don't know Ryoma, I think I'm just one of those pathologically 'busy' people. There's nothing I hate more than feeling that I've wasted the day!

  • Apple and banana pie?!!

    Oh, I love the sound of your apple and banana pie! Could you send some over to me? ; ) We have plenty of frozen fruit from last year, too - gooseberries and raspberries.

  • Hi Ryoma, I have to say that

    Hi Ryoma, I have to say that there are a lot of things that I do like about winter - the fireworks, the hearty warming food, the mulled wine, the parties...

  • Coffee, tea, coffee coffee tea tea

    Michael, interesting that you can write in any cafe. I wish I was the same! Most of my writing is done at home, unless I'm away on a road trip somewhere.

  • Hi Ryoma

    The decision to edit the book down has come from me, after I read a piece of advice on the W&A website about novel length.
