Positive feedback for my Hours of Writes entry last week, although I’m not sure whether Marker 3 was talking about my story or another as the quote isn’t from my piece. I enjoyed this one, I’m happy with it but the criticisms are justified – there are always things you would do differently in a story, especially when you only have an hour to write it.

Night to Remember
Thursday mornings are usually when I check the Hour of Writes website and find out what the peer markers thought of my entry. Today I’ve been given 65% for my response to ‘Night to Remember’ with overall positive comments. I find it a valuable process because it reminds me every week that no two people who read a piece of writing experience it in the same way.
Hello world…
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
Although I’ve blogged on and off for a long time now, this is the first blog that I am dedicating to my writing.
Since September this year I am an (almost) full time writer, with about six glorious hours a day to put my dreamings down on paper.
I am currently editing my first children’s book, Alfie Slider vs the Shape Shifter. Aimed at children aged 8-11, it is a Sci Fi adventure about what happens when a normal boy finds something utterly amazing.
I am also a prolific writer of short stories and flash fiction, and a regular contributor to Hour of Writes.
I am studying Creative Writing part time with the University of York.
I look forward to sharing my thoughts on writing, and some of my work very soon.
Sarah
