Rekindling the Flash Flame: A Bite-Sized Story

December 19, 2016

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some new fiction on this blog. My wonderful writer-editor friend Jess West reminded me recently about how we both regularly used to make time to write flash fiction, and how we particularly enjoyed Rebekah Postupak’s Flash Friday community, sadly now discontinued (although the website is still home to… Read More Rekindling the Flash Flame: A Bite-Sized Story

On Becoming, or Finding Flow

December 30, 2015

We’re hurtling into the new year, like a comet coming into land. The past twelve months have flown faster than the ones before, while Old Man Time, scythe in hand, gleefully waits. We make vows to welcome in the fresh year, hoping at the end of it we will be fitter, happier, more successful. Setting… Read More On Becoming, or Finding Flow

Savouring Words: A Two-Fingered Salute to Rushed Reading

November 30, 2015

When I was a child I hid under the covers after lights out with a pen torch, determined to finish one more chapter. I took books with me into the loo because I couldn’t bear to be away from the characters for a few minutes. I read in jumps and starts on car journeys when… Read More Savouring Words: A Two-Fingered Salute to Rushed Reading

Writing Inertia: Did You Work on Your Dreams Today?

September 21, 2015

It’s been a long summer and the kids are just settling back into their nursery and school routines. I have yet to find my writing rhythm, the one where I feel no resistance, where I believe in myself and the work is a joy. More than a few days away from my desk and my… Read More Writing Inertia: Did You Work on Your Dreams Today?

My First Attempts at Origami

June 14, 2014

A few weeks ago @raishimi read my article on the disappearing art of handwriting and mentioned that she sometimes includes origami gifts with letters. It was such a wonderful idea, I decided to have a go myself. I spent £15 on a simple guide and a small stack of origami paper in bright hues. My… Read More My First Attempts at Origami

The Forgotten Joys of Longhand Writing

April 28, 2014

I have a confession to make. The content of my email inbox, with the exception of pictures of my nephews and the blogs I subscribe to, is uninspiring. My virtual letterbox tends to be filled with bills, receipts and reminders. Emails save time and money, yet still I long for days past. I’d like to… Read More The Forgotten Joys of Longhand Writing

Owning Your Choices in Story-Telling and in Life

March 26, 2014

I am finding it really hard to pick a novel to commit to at the moment. My hard drive is littered with the promising beginnings of half a dozen novels, each of which is clamouring for me to devote my time to them alone. Last week, I announced on my Facebook author page that I… Read More Owning Your Choices in Story-Telling and in Life

Parenthood, Creativity and Time

July 14, 2013

It is birthday season in the Stelter household.  The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of familial activity, so much so that I have had barely a chance to put pen to paper.  With a four year old and a ten month old, even at relatively quiet times it is difficult to create the… Read More Parenthood, Creativity and Time
