Sometimes .. you find 'that' something that the moment your eyes engage it you are swept up into an inexplicable passionate euphoria of desire that rocks your world..have to say this is how I felt when I found this..

Why is my blog called The Green Room?
So someone asked me why the green room.. and I guess apart from my love of all things green I wanted to create something a little different..I do wonder @times if it's too green though..just a tad perhaps..

Writing challenge..'Believe in yourself'
Easier said than done..I'm thinking as I'm listening to a successful writer speak at her book launch..but what if no one else believes in me, reads my work, likes what I write..what then. No doubt after months of writing editing sweat tears and general hours of stress your novel gains some shape and is ready to move into the vast space of readerdom. But what if nobody reads it buys it likes it..
It is without doubt the head space that most writers get into once their book is published.. and while it is a possibility it's more probable that your book your brand will find its way into an audience that appreciates your effort likes your style is interested in what your book is about and will buy your work.. and your next book and your next book etc..as writers I think it is really important to believe in ourselves as the author said and to..
