  Write Your Ideas Down - If you are interested in developing your writing, then it is a good idea to keep a notebook with you. That way you never miss capturing those interesting things that you see or hear. You may hear a conversation that strikes inspiration, or see something that you want to remember for a future story idea. Keep a Notebook of Ideas You can always write them in your phone or tablet too. Then you will never be short of ideas - and never get writers block! Don't forget those dreams  - if something cool happens in your dreams jot that down too. Keep a notebook by your bed. You never know what will turn into a story or poem. So remember:  keep a notebook  with you. Then wherever you are you can write down your ideas.

Alfonso and the Monster by Susan Moffat Alfonso the Tortoise had had a lovely afternoon sharing stories with his friends Jeremy the bird, Willie the worm and Eric the hedgehog, when he suddenly felt very sad.           'Oh, I love it here in the Land of Garden. I just wish that my dad wasn't angry with me,' said Alfonso, sounding very glum.   'I didn't mean to upset him so much. I thought that he would understand when I wanted to see the wider world and make new friends.'           Alfonso’s parents were the king and queen of the Animal Kingdom. He had sent messages saying sorry to them for moving to live so far away from their palace, but the King had still not forgiven him. ...

Alfonso and the Prickly Visitor  by Susan Moffat Alfonso the tortoise was just about to take a bite out of a rather large berry, when he heard the flap of wings. ‘ Greetings Your Highness,’ said a beautiful blue and orange bird. ‘ Hi Jeremy. Do you have any news from my parents?’ asked Alfonso. He had made his Mum and Dad very cross when he had decided to go off on an adventure, rather than helping at home. He had sent a message to his parents a week ago to say sorry. Jeremy hung his head in sadness. ‘Yes, Your Highness. I’m afraid that the King says that he’s still very angry with you. The King says that you need to return to the palace straight away.’ ‘ Oh no, that’s terrible. I’m no...

Prince Alfonso the tortoise woke up one sunny morning in his small hut in the Land of Garden. Still feeling sleepy, he slowly plodded out of his hut and then yawned.   He felt the sun warm up his face and brown shell. He smiled and said to the world, 'hello world.'   'Hello, Mr Royal Prince,' said a cheeky little worm, who had just popped his head up out of the grass. 'Ooh, hello. I didn't see you there. What's your name?' 'I’m Willie and I’m so excited to meet you. I’ve been hearing all sorts of stories about you. Your crown is amazing!' 'Thanks,' replied Alfonso, chuckling to himself. It seemed lots of folk had heard about him.  'Are you enjoying life here in the Land of Garden? Can you tell me about how you got here? Do you think you'll stay here?' asked Willie eagerly, keen to know everything about Alfonso. 'I do love living here! A beautiful garden, filled with friendly c...

Over the last few years, we have seen the emergence of Art Therapy books filling the shelves of book stores, supermarkets and other retailers. It has become a great trend to enjoy spending our time colouring in the tiny details of each image, allowing our minds to relax and forget about the daily stresses. These books have been a wonderful way of introducing colouring to both adults and children. Alfonso the Tortoise Of course, art as therapy has been around for a long time and has been used by health professionals to help people with all sorts of health problems. Even early man, enjoyed producing art – as the cave walls provided the outlet for the first drawings. All colouring books do provide a means of losing ourselves in the page. The more complex and difficult the colouring, the more we have to concentrate and improve our skill levels. This hobby is definitely not just for children, and we can all enjoy this precious relaxation technique. You don't have t...

Years ago, whilst I was studying creative writing, as an exercise I had to write a story exploring the senses. At the time I was reading about Queen Isabella of Spain, who happened to have a brother called Alfonso. Suddenly, I could imagine a cute tortoise called Alfonso roaming and exploring a garden, and the twist was that he was a royal prince. I still had yet to work out how he had arrived in the Land of Garden, but creating Alfonso’s world has been a great pleasure, as I have introduced his friends, and have had fun developing his character. Alfonso's Mum arrives by Eagle Air My favourite moment, was introducing his Mum to the stories. Her name has yet to be revealed – but can you guess? She was a famous British Queen. Feel free to post your guesses in the comments section below.
