Still writing…

I have been working on finishing my first draft of my first children’s novel before we leave the UK in October. It is progressing slowly but I am still hopeful I will meet me target. I have submitted the first three chapters to a competition which, if short listed, requires the complete book sending at the end of September.

It is even more difficult to write when you have your fingers crossed.

I am Virtually Writing…

I am trying to pluck up the courage to start writing my first children's novel. I have a few ideas and an outline of a plot but now I need to actually start putting the words down on paper.

Like most things it is difficult to fail if you don't start, but by the same token it is impossible to succeed either.

Another rejection...

The second publisher didn't think my story suited them, so now I need to do some more work and get a few more stories out there.
