Writing: Since my mini writing retreat last weekend, I have not had any time to immerse myself in the revisions for The Twesome Loop, until last night. I took advantage of a couple of hours of peace & quiet in the library prior to my writing meeting. Word count increased by 892 and a couple of scenes were 'fleshed out' (actually erotic scenes so literally - pardon the pun!) I have a meeting with my client whose book I am ghost writing this evening as I requested 'personal experience' pieces from her on several topics within the book. These I will include thus ensuring it is her voice. My book cover proof is still pending for The Rython Kingdom so I have to be patient - although having the new cover available for my readers is paramount. So excited for it to go 'live' on the various websites. Through a facebook page I found a submissions requirement where I can send my steampunk story - The Toymaker. Fingers crossed it gets accepted, it's only 7790 words. Books: I am thoroughly enjoying this book - The Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney - sister's growing up, finding themselves, drama, love, rejection and a mystery. Set in Tasmania and Ireland it becomes international as each sister flies the coop in search of her path. My TBR pile includes a book I found in a lovely bookstore while on my weekend escape. The Other Life by Ellen Meister This is the blurb: If you could return to the road not taken...would you? Quinn Braverman has a perfect life, with a loving husband, an adorable son, and another baby on the way. Quinn also has an ominous secret: she knows that another version of her life exists...one in which she made totally different life choices. But she's never been tempted to switch lives-until a shocking turn of events pushes her to cross over, and she discovers the one person she thought she'd lost forever: Her mother. But Quinn can't have both lives. Soon, she must decide which she really wants-the one she has...or the other life... Doesn't it sound fascinating? Of course as I love reincarnation, spirits, afterlife and parallel universes it is just up my street, so to speak. If you have a recommendation for this kind of story, please let me know. Writing Tips: Stop procrastinating. Turn off the TV, disconnect from the Internet, tune out the rest of the world, sit down, and write. Create a space in your home especially for writing. Why not share your writing space? Here's mine: The opposite wall is my inspirational wall. Happy writing.
