I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
I’m from Bromsgrove in Worcestershire.
I’d travel back to 1950’s America in a heartbeat closely followed by the 80’s. I wasn’t born till ’88. I’d have loved to be have been a teenager in the 80’s!
Laura from Wrexham. I’d love to go back to the sixties and see what it was like as it looked like a fun time 🙂
where would i go i would go to the set of a carry on film and be an extra on it
I have to be honest, and if its just for fun rather than to learn something about history, I would have to go back to the summer of 1981, Headingley, just to celebrate the most famous victory over the Aussies. Jim Milligan, Tyneside
Paradise, NZ – tomorrow — assuming prize includes a ticket 😉
Unfortunately not. :)x
I would love to have lived during the reign of the White Queen – such intrigue amongst the courtiers. They all lie to one another – even between husband and wife (not just little fibs either)
Amanda from Cardiff
I would go to America in the 1920s. I love all of the flapper style!
Emma from Lyme Regis
I’d go back to any time before Beeching slashed all the local railways, so I could watch the steam train run through the valley and across the viaduct we can see from the house. It would be impossibly romantic and poignant.
I live in Cambridge. I’d travel back in time to when all the undergrads fled from Oxford. Would probably have been a serving wench and would have loved to give one of them students a slap for taking advantage. Then I would have stunned him with the knowledge I’d acquired from my self-learning, outsmarting him on every level. Eventually we’d have got it together but the balance of the relationship would have been equal – not only because of my intellect but because of my social skills and also because I was protecting him from one of the wicked Porters who had it in for him for all sorts of reasons – not least because he’d behaved like a prat at one point. My God, I have a novel here!
Michelle from Acomb. I would travel back to the carefree school years – save lots of money & make alot less mistakes along the way
Trish from Blackburn. I would go back to 1969 and go to Woodstock. I have always believed I should have been a hippy and that would have been THE most amazing thing ever to experience!
