Strictly Writing: Caroline Rance

Caroline Rance once worked in an NHS complaints department, and is still awaiting the return of her soul.

Her first historical novel, Kill-Grief, was published in 2009 and she is now working on a non-fiction book, provisionally titled The Quack Doctor: Historical Remedies for all your Ills, for publication by The History Press in 2013. Her blog of the same name was shortlisted for the Medgadget Best Literary Medical Blog Award in 2010 and 2011. Caroline is studying for an MA in Medicine, Science and Society at Birkbeck College, has a proper job editing charity publications, is mum to a five-year-old boy and is somewhat more impressive on paper than she actually is in real life.

Welcome

Welcome to our blog. We are a varied group of writers - published and aspiring; poets, short-story creators and novelists - with one thing in common: an enduring love for the craft of writing. A love which requires great resilience in the face of recurrent self-doubt, writer's block and rejection. In the face of the obsessive checking of emails, inch high dust and burnt dinners. In the face of a gamut of RSI injuries and writer's bottom. But a love that repays itself ten times over with those sparkling seconds of elation when finally, the right prose unfolds, like a quick-footed jive or seamless Cha Cha Cha. That's when we trust once again the voice in our heads that urges... "Keeeeep writing!"
