Thanks for coming to this site. Here you will find examples of my work - complete and in progress - and I hope that you will take some time to read and comment on what you find here. Comment /discuss by clicking on the link to my blog, above or email write-place.
I hope that you will make the site a favourite of yours and keep returning. This is a place to share stories of writing successes (and failures), get new ideas, rehearse old ones and to simply discuss and communicate with like - minded people.
 
It is also a place to discuss anything which is topical, of interest to only you (it won't be) to philosophise or take part in my ramblings.
 
Any publishers, literary agents or anyone who would like to finance my work - please feel free to give me a call or leave me a message.

 Why Write ?

 

There must be an almost infinite number of quotes from the famous and the not so famous, that can be found about writing, storytelling, and the process itself of writing. We could spend many hours reading and digesting these, and indeed we should, but it can also take us away from the words and

sentences that are formed in our own minds and prevent us from ever putting down our own thoughts. I believe that to be able to transfer our own feelings, thinking and emotions to a form where others can connect with them, is not only a skill but a necessity.
 
 
And what better way to do this

than to read what others have written

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

     ... and to discuss it.

“Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.” - George Bernard Shaw

 

“Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'. Otherwise you'll have no words left when you want to talk about something really infinite.” - C. S. Lewis

 

 

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." ~William Wordsworth

 

 

“Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” - E. L. Doctorow
 

 
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become ~Buddha
