So, it's been a while since I wrote a new blog on here, apologies, I've been tinkering away in the background of my life. This one's not really for advice or a showcase for my own writing, it's more a journal entry of where I'm at right now as I begin to take on a …
I tried to challenge myself to write using the Black Country dialect. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's where I call home. Now, I am born and raised in the Black Country, however, not all of us have all of the 'quirks' when it comes to spaking *ahem* speaking. Actually, we're all a tiny …
