Hello!

Hello, I'm Cathy and I'm a writer, proofreader, editor and all-round word botherer but this blog is a collection of all sorts of stuff and there'll probably be stuff about cats and sewing as well as writing. Please believe me when I say my vocabulary does sometimes extend to words other than 'stuff'.
