Post Scriptum – December 2011
2011 is fast departing. The year began with Write Anything in a transitional state. An expansion in the number of writers on the team, new editorial positions, and a move to a new, hosted, website were all on the cards. As the year ends, and we look forward to 2012, Write Anything continues in a state of transition. In addition to saying hello to new friends, this year we all bid fond, and hopefully... read more

Christmas writing all year round
I love Christmas. I don’t go in for a lot of decorations, the kitsch and the revelling associated with it. As a family we’re not even heavily into presents, although we do appreciate the joy of giving pleasure to others with simple, often self-made gifts. If I had to sum up Christmas, I would say it’s light in the darkness. A couple of months ago, we talked right here about darkness. We... read more
