merry xmas to you all

Hi All

Hope you had a good one :)

The Bee Hive Blurb

Eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and
shopping and who just don’t listen.... Daniel is an only child … no, he’s lying … he has a sister,
Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien.

So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benjie, introduces him to the find of the century – a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong.

For example – Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly
turn up wanting what’s theirs – and then there’s the bank, too.

The Beehive by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in
Dan’s young life.

‘What’s a bumble?’ – ‘Shut up, Alice!’

30 days and counting

For all creative writers

Hi All,

My name is Simon Adepetun aka simpsontuny

I'm a Sales Manager but my passion has always been writing

If you're a fellow or aspiring writer, a lover or merely some one who appreciates creative writing then here's the place to be!

I have entered into the biggest writing competitions in the UK. Bridport Prize, BBC Short Story Competition,Channel 4, Bruntwood prize,, McKitterick prize, Terry Pratchett, BBC short story, Chester University prize just to mention a few.

Being a graduate of English Studies with a 2:1 BA HONS, back to back winner of the prestigious Kollaj Short Story Competition and best graduating Creative writer I feel I have earned the right to share with you my tips on how to add a little creativity to your literary experience to give it that cutting edge

After months of tears and sweat I have finally completed my novel and now the next bold step in my endeavour, publish it. Many- a -writer get to this stage, full of promise but discouragement, frustrations gets the better of them, they fall away, the dream falls away with them.

Where there's a will there certainly is a way!!!

So strap yourselves up as we take this ride together, its sure to be exciting, nerve racking, time consuming but worthwhile and rewarding in the end 

Lets do this!!!
