Welcome!

I'm Louise Gibney, a writer from Northamptonshire. This is my website on all things scribbled. I'm a blogger, mainly, but I also have a monthly column in MK Pulse magazine, and I'm an occasional poet a very occasional short story writer.

Get click happy looking at my website, and I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Blogging Bonkers!

I started my writing themed blog somewhere around March 2012 and it's come on leaps and bounds. Click on the tabs above to see my latest posts. I appreciate all the support I've had from writers, readers and friends and I hope to continue to inspire and encourage your creative muses!

In January 2013 I also launched my much deliberated travel blog, 'Born To be A Tourist'. I am working hard to make it much more than a travel diary with very limited me-me-me stories. My aim is to make it full of interesting internet snippets I find and tips on how to travel safely, cheaply, and with a huge amount of fun thrown in on top.

'Quitting Bread' was a 30 day challenge my sister set me in November 2010. See how I got on with cutting out bread from my diet here - with surprising results!

Take a look and let me know what you think. As always, I welcome any comments and feel free to share or tweet any blog posts you enjoy.

Girl Meets Boys
My Debut Novel

'Girl Meets Boys' is an embarrassing and hilarious journey through the perils of dating, and it gives the reader an unpredictably entertaining and cringe-worthy insight into a young woman's online search for a boyfriend.

No detail is left unspoken in this narrative non-fiction piece, and is sure to make the reader laugh. A fantastic holiday read.

Copies of this are no longer for sale on Amazon, but if you ask nicely I might be able to dig one out of my cupboard!

Towcester Writers' Group

Wearing another of my 'hats', I am also the Chairman of the Towcester Writers' Group. We meet once a month, and though we're a new group, we're growing fast and full of local talent! We have fiction writers, autobiographers, poets and comedians - published and unpublished alike.

If you would like to join us one evening, come along to the library in Towcester at 7.30pm on the third Wednesday of the month. We ask for an entry fee of £3 to cover room hire and teas/coffees. You can find us on Facebook if you want to know more about the group or take a look at our website.

Examples of evenings we've had so far include Open Mic Nights for our writers to showcase their work, writing competitions, a variety of guest speakers, and workshops to help improve our writing skills. Our meetings are always varied in content, trying new things each time. We all leave with a smile buzzing from the evening's events.
