A Writer's Life

Publishing this novel could get me in trouble…

Publishing this novel could get me in trouble…

After two and a half years of slaving away at my latest novel, it is now, at long last, available on Amazon! (Please forgive the surfeit of exclamations and hyperbole in this post.) I’m sure that all fellow-writers will empathise with the blood, sweat and tears that go into the planning, creating, first draft, and [...]

In the Hands of a Tweet

In the Hands of a Tweet

What a cute little word ‘tweet’ is. How innocuous-sounding. How frail and birdlike. But how deceptive, as well. How much power there can be in the hands of a short, carelessly knocked-together bunch of words. And that’s exactly what so many tweets are - short and careless, even boring, stupid, annoying. Why did you bother [...]

The hardest part of writing?

The hardest part of writing?

How in the world do writers come up with a title for their books? It’s hard enough thinking of one for a blog post, let alone an entire, full-length novel! How do we do it? How do you do it, fellow blogger? What’s in a name? as Shakespeare said. A rose by any other name [...]

All I Want for Christmas …

All I Want for Christmas …

All I want for Christmas is you … and you and you and you … But who, exactly, are you? We all have our different you’s who we long to be with, and who we miss if they’re not with us. In most cases, ‘you’ is our family, including the four-legged members. In my case, the [...]

Wronged One, Other One, or Both?

Wronged One, Other One, or Both?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive. How true, Mr Scott, how true! Let's face it, at some point in our lives most of us will experience at least one of those two states: being the wronged one, or the other one. Being deceived, or actively doing the deceiving - whether in our juvenile [...]

Is Life One Long Game of Foreplay?

Is Life One Long Game of Foreplay?

A bit lower… no, higher… to the left a bit… I said LEFT, not right… What? Oops – sorry, got a bit carried away there! Trying to find the right directions. You know, like on Navigator, which I hate to admit at times still frustrates me. Is that a sign of low intelligence? Or age? [...]

And They Lived Happily Ever After … once they split up

And They Lived Happily Ever After … once they split up

So here I am at my laptop once again, at the end of another week, writing yet another blog. Actually, I’m on an aeroplane right now, together with my daughter, on our way to England. Our final week has come to an end. Yesterday was our last day at home, and now, at 8.47 on [...]

About Me

Wendy Skorupski

Wendy Skorupski

My elixir of life is playing the piano and writing. I couldn’t live without either of those two dimensions! My two latest novels, 'Once Upon a Thousand Hills' and 'Infinite Stranger', are available on Amazon. I had an international upbringing in Cyprus and Vienna, and finished my higher education in England, qualifying as a Music and English teacher. I work in the field of international education, dividing my time between Krakow, Wroclaw, London and Liverpool. But I am mainly based in Krakow, my beloved fairytale city!
