Nice to meet another writing tweep! I’m off twitter for November as I’m getting stuck into novel number 3, but I’m sure you’ll see me back on there in December for my community fix. Thanks for stopping by, and all very good wishes, Isabel

I have made some really good online friends. Whilst writing can be solitary, I never feel alone, for sure!

It’s a home-based retreat – my brain is bursting with the ripples of my new story, so I intend to get much writing done in November for my own mental health … That’s the plan anyway :) Hope you’re well Sue x

Kouros! Funny how we recall details like that – I remember the school changing rooms whiffing of Poison as so many girls wore it! Foul stuff.

I was nineteen. In July 1985 I went off to London to join that big police force in the capital. I was naive in many ways but had also grown up a lot. My parents lived in Norfolk and I had a very abusive boyfriend. He was a DJ, had a shaggy perm, and wore Kouros. Nuff said.
It was the start of a totally different chapter in my life. Thankfully.

I too entered that very same Mail on Sunday competition in the very same year but alas I didn’t get anywhere. Will be trying again this year. Closing date is 28th October 2011. Wish me luck!
