The Glass Floor is done. It is done, my precious 🙂 Or at least, it is done enough so that it’s ready to be given out to a small number of fantasy fans who are willing to read it and tell me what works for them, and more importantly, what doesn’t work and why not….
I must admit I’ve never taken the UK citizenship test myself and suspect I would not pass it. (I think it’s a silly idea. Why do we all need to know the same things?) But I nevertheless passed this one with flying colours. See how you would do 🙂 http://realcitizenshiptest.co.uk/quiz.php?n=1
Miku twirling by ~SkullRider123 on deviantART ~*~*~*~ I saw this yesterday, and desperately wanted to run around telling my friends and family about it. But then I remembered that my friends and family would not see why it was such a big deal. (Probably because it really isn’t a big deal to anyone except me.)…
I should have put this in last week’s post, since it’s part of the whole plotting thing, but as usual for me, I don’t have a lot to say about it, so it can slip in here with no problem. Writers appear to be divided between those who like to make a plan of their…
It’s been ages since I posted an excerpt of anything other than my work in progress, so I thought it might be nice to revisit the book that started it all. This is from Captain’s Surrender, first accepted for publication by Linden Bay Romance in 2007, actually published 2008 with a (frankly fairly horrible) cover…
Since I’m working so hard at the writing that it’s beginning to feel like a real job – and it’s a job that involves being at the keyboard for the majority of the day – I’ve started ending the day by disengaging from the computer altogether and going to sit on the sofa. But I…
So, I have done my tax return, which was not a particularly interesting thing to do. But getting my royalties spreadsheet all up to date was very interesting, since it shows that my gut feeling of how I was doing is actually not an accurate reflection of reality at all. When you’re a new author,…
In honour of the anti-fan letter I got last night, suggesting that I could not possibly write believable male characters because I was (gasp) a girl, I am doing the only thing my gender allows and am channeling my anger into pink unicorns: And in a brain explodey twist to this story, it turns out…
Mostly today my work in progress was finding all my royalty statements and filling in my spreadsheet in order to be ready to do my self-assessment tax form tomorrow. Which was useful and even interesting work, but not the sort of thing that lends itself to an entertaining quote. However, I did also do ten…
1. Favorite childhood book? Blimey, I can’t pick just one. Also I’ve forgotten which books I read at which age. Does it mean ‘book you read in your childhood,’ or ‘children’s book’? I remember absolutely loving The Odyssey in junior school, so that can be it for ‘book you read in childhood’, and of course…
