Facebook and how it builds more than friends lists

I read this the other day and was quite frankly inspired by it.

Stuck with your mystery writing? Do what I do and create new characters from the seemingly “normal” people who you know and love. Or just know. I personally will never love my neighbours but that’s another story…

1) Mrs Millen’s: in real life, Mrs Millen’s is a short, kind, spectacle-wearing old lady. Yet in my mind and on the page, Mrs Millen’s becomes a super sleuth! By using her special wiggly ears – and extra-large ear-lobes – she can hear More

Eternally About Me

As I have said at the bottom of this page, I have written an awful lot of About Me sections. Frankly now I am totally sick of it.

How to explain who I am to others every new day is becoming a real chore as More
