       Welcome to the "Write-Place"
                      
               For people who read, write and think 
                            (not necessarily in that order)
                     
                                             
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 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. I will  keep it updated as frequently as possible.
 
This 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.
 
As one of my favourite books of all time is "Catcher in the Rye" J D Salinger, I wish I had written the famous first line of his book...
 

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

 

But as to do that would be plagiarism, I shall make do with the bits I have written on the "About Me" page. Anyway, this site is supposed to be about my writing not about ME so enough of all that.

 
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.

“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
