I’m fine being asked if I’m a mum, a project manager, an accountant, a training manager and a testing manager, but when someone asks me if I am a writer, I come up with this long-winded sentence which goes something like this: ‘I’ve written all my life and I’d like to think I am a writer, in fact I … Continue reading
I spend a lot of time on the computer both in my main job as a Project Manager and in my new freelance writing career. This can cause all sorts of posture problems especially in the neck and back. Today I decided to spend a bit of time writing the old fashioned way – using pen and paper – and … Continue reading
