Not Everyone Will Like Your Stories, but You Should Write Them Anyway!
There is always a story inside our heads, whether we are busy or sitting on the couch bored. There is always one that we creators want to read or write, whether it is sitcoms, romance, adventure, a life story, a steamy novel (hey! look in Dirty, my husband thought I was innocent until he read my stories in there!!) or something boring or full of gossip. Sit in your lounge, or lie in your bed, what happens? Well, I try to go to sleep at night, however, you can guarantee I will end up on Vocal, reading or writing one story, or I'll have my head superglued to my kindle, and what I read...well mmm!... I'll leave that to your imagination. What I write...well that's something that can bore people one minute and shock them the next!

Tony
I stood by the road in shock. We had been trying to stop your dad from drink-driving, but it was too late. He was too far gone for us to stop him from getting in that car. You were determined to follow him, but it's ok, I understand; you were trying to protect your dad. Any caring son would have done that, but I wasn't prepared for the car crash that followed There was a sudden screech off wheel's, followed by a loud crash. I shut my eyes and refused to look, when I opened them again there were police and ambulance services surrounding you. I froze, heartbroken with tears streaming down my face. "How could he do that to his own son?" You would have asked me to forgive him for being an alcoholic, and I'm sorry but I just can't. He destroyed your life, your mum's life and, your ten- year old sisters life, and he left me heartbroken for many long years.

Romancing the Wild
Natalie was running. She had no idea that she was running, but she did know this happened every time there was a full moon. She ran through the forest, taking in the scenery of dark trees, following every scent, and jumping streams and rivers. She ran for hours; she was tired, but her instincts told her not to stop. She covered 12 miles of forest, then suddenly she stopped behind a tree, feeling exhausted. She was just drifting off when she got a sudden overwhelming feeling that somebody was watching her. She could sense it, both in her mind and in her body. The feeling was overwhelming to a point where it woke her up, and she started running again, even though all she wanted to do was sleep. She used all her senses, checking every single nook and cranny of the forest, but she couldn't see anyone.

Triangles of Love
It was a really frustrating night, sat in Carmen's Bar with Leo and Tammy. Ruby could almost feel the heat radiating between her legs as she sat there. She was really confused by this feeling. She had dated both men and women, of whom she found very attractive, and she had even dated Leo on more than one occasion, thinking that she had fallen in love with him. But was she in love with him? That was a question that went through her mind more than once. She eyed Leo, then Tammy. Tammy was dressed in a very slinky red dress with a v-neck, showing her gorgeous breasts and delicate legs, complete with tiny red shoes that just let her dainty feet poke through. Ruby had always thought Tammy to be beautiful, but she felt like she never really noticed her until now. She felt that the women she had dated in the past had been some kind of experiment with her sexuality, and she had lost interest in them fast. They were gorgeous, but she couldn't connect with them on an emotional level. She tried to shrug the attraction to her friend off. 'we have been friends for years, and this has never happened.' She told herself quietly, still staring at her friend as she had never seen her before. Ruby needed an excuse to get out of there, this was getting far too much and the heat between them almost scorched her.

You can be Creative with Recycling
Recycling is good for the environment. Every year millions of rubbish gets dumped in our bins, causing landfill. Our beaches are always packed full of rubbish, and our beautiful world and wildlife are dying. While we can't control what other people do, we can help by recycling every day things we use at home. Here are some ideas that you can use to help make the world a better place.

To the Ex whom I Christened with his Own Beer.
I was sat alone in that hostel when I met you. I felt alone, in fact I was alone and I had been that way for months. I had escaped my hometown tormented by the abuse I had been through, and hurting because those children I loved were living miles away from me because of what had happened to us. I met you in a nightclub where I danced the whole night away for the first time in months. I wasn't the best looking chick in the world, because I wasn't well at that time. I was scrawny, dressed in clothes that barely fit me, and spotty, and I felt worthless because I had noone. You were watching me dance, and you smiled at me. You had a very sunny smile, lovely eyes and you were wearing Calvin Klien jeans. I wished I could buy clothes like that, but my life had been ruined.

It's never too late to Achieve your Dreams.
After all the trauma I went through, I thought that I was never going to recover. My childhood was tormented by bullying and abuse, and my adultlife was just as bad. For many years it was a constant struggle of gaining everything and losing everything all over again. I faced a severe struggle with my mental health, and it was a constant battle to keep myself out of hospital of which I ended up in on many occassions. After many long years, I gave up trying for a very long time, that was until my final battle resulted in losing a child to adoption because my mental health became so bad, I wasn't coping anymore. I had further losses after that, my gran died and my dad died. I was falling back into a deep dark pit of going nowhere, and not wanting to get out of bed in the mornings. I definately did not want this life of pain anymore.

Drenched By Accident!
We were on holiday in Great Yarmouth. I love Great Yarmouth, it's one of those places where I have fond memories of holidays with my parents, husband, and the kids. However, I am sure some memories are not meant to be remembered! We decided to do the 'golden mile' trek from Seashore Caravan Park where we were staying to the fairground at the bottom of the mile. The kids were over-excited, and we had to really watch them. They were running miles ahead of us, chatting, sometimes throwing tantrums and sulking over things they couldn't do, all at once. I mean I know kids get tired, but when there are 6 of them, you tend to feel like Superman or Superwoman, and it can make you forgetful.

How Not to Read a Book
I love reading books, and I love analysing them too. When I was young, I used to skip the most boring chapters, even if the story was interesting to me. However, when I started studying the humanities, I had to read even the most boring parts of the story, right to the end, and figure out how the story was put together. This made me realise something, many readers who skip chapters and pages don't realise, that is, if you don't read the whole of the chapters before moving on to the next, you miss the storyline in the book. This is because each chapter links to the next in order to create the story in the first place.

You've Got to be Joking!
I must admit, when I first met my husband and he told me that his Aunt was famous, I had problems letting it sink in, especially when he told me who she was. My husbands Aunt is famous for her sitcoms, comedy films, radio, stage and many other things, and she is also a Dame. In fact, I myself have always been a big fan of my Aunt-in-law, long before I met my husband. However, have you ever tried telling people that you are related to someone famous? Trying to explain that this is true, is very frustating indeed, because as I found out, nobody believes us, even though it is true!

An Embarrassing Dilemma
I don't forget 31st July 1999 easily. Me and my husband were due to go to the hospital for a check-up on our baby. I was 2 days late already, and getting really fed up with it. I'd tried everything to get it going, moving around, getting on all fours, and we even walked the entire length of Temple Newsam, but no! this baby was staying where it is, it didn't want to be born, it was quite comfortable inside me. The baby was still moving around alot, despite the size of her, and despite the strong kicks, she still refused to come out! I was carrying a girl who kicked strong and almost knocked me over, but even that wasn't enough to get my labour going. I was on the toilet every 5 minutes because every time the baby kicked, she seemed to take pleasure kicking my bladder. It was getting totally embarrassing, because people thought I was incontinent and I had to explain I was pregnant. We went for 5 different walks that day, and we even tried sex, but no, this baby wasn't coming.
