Submissions are open in crooked cat publications

Soo, I saw a post by crooked cat publications, they are opening a short window of submissions in April, so ik going to make sure nightshades is fully finished for,that. So March will be just editing, it will still count as a novel written, not from scratch though so maybe I can write a new one at. Letter date.

But to have my works published main steam, that would be lovely I can tell you. So fingers crossed.

Also I'm on wattpad now too, if your on have a lookie, nightshadesgrotto for nightshades things and NightshadesTear for all other novels. I made front covers too for them too, it quite fun sharing my work, people are reading them which is just what I want.

So I hope you all have a lovely weekend and keep up reading my blog. I will update you all I can with the nightshade novel. 

Romance finished

So the great news is that the romance if finally finished.  It's all very cliche but from my research I see it's how romance goes.

They all lives happily ever after type, it was quite fun writing romance, but I think i will stay with just adding romance and relationships instead of just pure romance.

I added. Little bit of a thriller element to it, I had a secret obsession character, that seemed to excite it a bit, I do like mixing genres, it makes things a lot more fun and easier to write.  Adding a little romance with fantasy, adventure and thrills, ooooh it's sooo much fun!

Well March is my birthday month, so I had a thought, I might just try and finish adding the meat to "the secret of dancing with the moon" the second in the "Nightshade" series.  You see, all eight of the books had skeletons, you fellow novel writer should know what that means, but for,those who don't. A skeleton is the basic outline of a novel, set out in chapters with the minimum of dialogue and explanation and so on.  So it's done in a way, but it's a really boring read and tells you next to nothing about the story, so I have those all done for the other seven in the series. I must admit, from novel two in the series it gets very confusing to write, I have to be very careful not to let the reader in on anything, also I need to add a new character, a really cool but mean character.

So my little lovies, I'm going to have a little rest before I start on the march novel, because it's a rather long and hard road for the "Nightshade" series I will start early.  Whoohoo!

Tatty bye and take care!

Finally the romance has started

So I wanted to do the romance thing for February, and remember it wasn't going to well?

Thank the Goddess I finally have the romance flowing. Mits a little cliche to be honest, girl on holiday, boy sees girl, girl meets boy, boy and girl fall in love but of course there has to be something to stop them, something in the way......so I put  a mentally deranged teenager set on killing said girl so she can claim said boy for herself.

Sounds interesting no? 

No fantasy! I know, not one bit of fantasy, maybe a little fairy tale influence but all good romances should have the air of Disney about them.  Notice how ALL Disney characters experience love at first sight? It's that kind of misleading that made me think love really was at first sight and everything was little blue birds singing around you as the love hearts fill our eyes and.....I'm only kidding of course. Love at first sight is real but not that cheesy.

So next month I'm hinting sci-fi, space, aliens, so something like that.  Or maybe I will start DNA part two...which  STILL has no title, just like the first.

Well I'm off to the dentist lovies.

Something a little different

Hello,

Ok I know this is another thing off topic, but friends, they are so important in life really.

I mean, I had a lovely evening with some old work mates and it felt like we had never been apart, I would love to do that kind of thing with my best friend Kassie, a slave to the written word blogger. It just makes me sad sometimes that we live so far away, but when you have a friend in your heart they are never truely never that far away.

But it does bring me onto a point, wouldn't it be lovely to write a novel with a friend, or about a friend, or maybe two friends.  I did surgest to Kassie maybe I should write a story about pen pals, that would be lovely to be sure.

Well that's it, I'm currently working on a romance novel, pure romance with a happy ending, I have started two and I am leaning onto one really.  

Tatty bye and take care!!!
