Sorry for not blogging much lately. I have been pretty busy, what with one thing or another...
I've been trying to do a regular writing stint each day, towards a weekly total of 8000 words. Not massive by some people's standards, but enough so that if I keep chugging along at this rate, I'll reach my deadline on
KISS IT BETTER fairly comfortably with time to spare for a good edit. Which it'll need!
This week, I've also been prepping an excerpt post for
LUST BITES in Friday. This is a bit from
IN TOO DEEP. I find it very, very hard to choose excerpts for these sorts of thing. I can never pick out a piece that seems to be standalone, and yet a good sample of the book. The bit I've chosen for Friday is pretty naughty stuff, so I hope anyone who reads this, will nip along and read and hopefully leave a comment. There will be a prize!
I've also been hanging about on
Twitter quite a bit, something of which I'm unashamed. I love Twitter and I love my buddies there. I originally started tweeting as a way to have micro updates to this blog [see right] but inevitably, I got hooked into Twitter itself and the interaction with other Tweeters... But it's easy to do, and not too taxing on the grey matter. Just like chatting with a bunch of buddies, really.
Have been doing some reading and DVD watching too. I'm reading the
Belle De Jour memoir and at the same time, watching
the telly version on DVD. In some ways they're very different, but in others, the essence is the same. Am enjoying both. Belle is a very good writer. I didn't read the blog very much at the time the entries in the book were posted, but I like her conversational style. Dare I say that in some ways, it reminds me of my own first person writing?
Chance has popped up at Fictionwise now too! It'll not be long before it appears at Harlequin, and I'll have achieved the dream of a lifetime... ie. become a Harlequin author at last, after waiting around 20 long years!
