Writing: Continue edit of ‘Secrets’. Progress so far = not bad, but I think I need to set myself a target of getting the second draft/rewrite complete by the start of August. Continue writing the fairy story And it needs a name! Target word count = 10,000, so it should take about 4 weeks. Blog…
I blogged in a serious sort of way over on The Macaronis, on the topic of research for writing historical fiction. The whys, whens and hows of research, along with a list of the wheres 🙂 So if you’re thinking your next/first book might be a historical, or if you’re just interested in what goes…
I was reading a thread on Making Light this morning which was, as usual, intimidatingly erudite and much too clever for me, in which people were translating poems into LOL! and Txt! speak. But I was too embarrassed to try it myself among so many works of genius. (Also I’d gone to make a…
*g* It’s been a productive day, for a change. Three chapters of editing on ‘Secrets’. 500 words on a new short story, which have enabled me to discover that I should have started it somewhere else – this is progress for me! And a blog post for The Macaronis Is there anyone out there who…
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy! My overall reaction to this episode is massive squee. That was good! It messed with my expectations in the best of ways. I honestly did buy the idea that John was the bad guy until he explained otherwise. I honestly thought, when Ianto said he was…
As tonight is the finale of season 2, I thought I’d better attempt to write something about Fragments before tonight’s episode swept all that away.

After what’s seemed like an interminable slump, I have news again, and lo! it is good 🙂 The Witch’s Boy is finally up on Amazon.com HERE currently with no blurb and no cover picture, but I’m pretty sure that will come once they get their act together. It’s also had a lovely review from reader…
Not much writing goes on when the children are at home, so I’ve been spending the day mostly watching this vid by fan_eunice” because MPreg is canon in Torchwood – though perhaps not in this exact form: Jack is keeping his baby Though possibly you may need to read this first, just to make everything…
Just a quick review of ‘Man Oh Man: Writing m/m fiction for kinks and cash’ by Josh Lanyon Though ‘review’ might be putting it too strongly – ‘squee’ might be closer 🙂 If you go back through my posts on this LJ you’re bound to come across one where I gushed mightily about how wonderful…
Eeeee! I have a fantastic new review for ‘Captain’s Surrender’, and it’s from Ruth Sims, author of ‘The Phoenix’, which is one of my favorite m/m books. It’s extra specially wonderful to get a review from someone whose own writing I admire so much; I get to be honored as well as squeeful! 🙂 the…
