Leave him alone and he’ll leave you alone, but if … <a href="https://www.slenderwolf.com/novels/characters/angrybard/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "AngryBard"</span></a>
#writersCoffeeClub 8 May 'What experience can you identify as having made you the writer you are today?'
In 1973 when I was aged 11 my school had us study #Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Not a good idea!
AngryBard shares my lack of enthusiasm for Shakespeare.
He needed to say sorry to Kayt so wrote her a letter.
I write for teenagers in plain English.

Kayt and her best friend Conning are both descended from Manx families. That aside, they are not directly related. In Manx Kayt is pronounced Cat. Like all Manx people Kayt and Conning are particularly attractive, and that sometimes brings them unwanted attention from the boys at school. But the boys had better keep their distance! … <a href="https://www.slenderwolf.com/novels/characters/kayt/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Kayt"</span></a>

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Montgomery has some descriptive prose which is simply charming.
I wish I could write as well as this.
