Autumn

So I'm still here! *waves* I've been deep in writing and working on cards. At present I have two pieces sitting on my computer crying out to be worked on but my attention is on a piece I'm expanding for my publisher (details to come soon!).

However I am indulging myself in cold crisp walks which always come with fresh ideas in tow, unfortunately not enough time to write them all.

Right, back to work. Watch out for news coming soon!

Chat at Realms of Love

Tonight (21st September) I will be talking over at the Realms of Love site discussing my various books.

The chat is at 9pm EDT/6pm PDT or if you're in the UK like me 2am GMT.

You will need to sign up to the site but it's totally free. I will be giving away a prize also (but I'm not saying what it is you'll have to turn up and find out!).

Hope to see you there!

My Day

I have at the moment the luck of being able to write pretty much all the time which is great for getting those words out and the many pieces I'm working on. However I thought I'd offer you all a glimpse of what I do each day.

This is an average day for me and now has been for a while due to various reasons including my health.

Once I wake up the very first thing I do before anything else is say hello to my partner, though he may not be awake at the time (isn't instant messenger wonderful?). That done I sort out my emails from the day before, or at least the ones I didn't manage to get to that day, I usually have about one hundred a day so they can take a few sittings to get through.

A dog gets walked then, before back to the computer where if luck is on my side my partner is wide awake and able to talk before he has to leave for the day. When we do chat its wonderful though it isn't something that happens every day due to one reason or another. Once he's off I have about an hour to fit in some writing and check up what the last thing I wrote the day before was before going to running around with another dog (a puppy this time who is the cutest little bundle of fur but totally uncoordinated).

That done I finally get some food, before settling down to more emails, writing and depending on what else I have on a lot of reading. I might also go through some edits of a piece of work or type up a new one depending on how I'm feeling and how the writing is going.

All this continues until like today another dog gets walked around tea time (roughly four in the afternoon). Then its back to writing and general work till 8 when my partner gets back.

I continue to write until about 2 in the morning but more on and off then during the day due to spending as much time as I can with my partner and food and anything else I need to get done, oh and occasionally (less occasionally then perhaps I'd like but I get very addicted to it quickly) we go into an online RPG which takes up a nice chunk of time but is something I can do whilst writing.

Then finally between 2 in the morning and 4 it's time for bed, ready to start it all again at 9am a few hours later.

And now I've filled in this journal...it's time for some more writing.

Have fun!

Keeping Track

Sometimes it pays to look through your old writing files. I had thought I'd organised them a while ago but now as I sit going through them I've discovered a large number of pieces half written some longer then others but all with a full story worked out.

I am going to have my work cut out going through them all, but it's just like Yule finding lots of presents under the tree. I may cringe at the writing but at the end of the day I've got much more usable stories then I thought I had, and a vast amount of writing I'd totally forgotten I'd done.

These pieces were all written over the past year but then placed away in various boxes for whatever reason. Now I think it's time to dust them all off and see what I have.

Works in Progress

As promised a list of stories I'm working on with their working titles (so these may be nothing like the end titles)

Reigning in Sarah - done, now needs typing up and editing



Falling from Grace



Once upon a time



The Burning



The Day Off/ Talk Dirty To Me



Lost in London

Hunted



Forbidden Attraction



Tools of the Trade



Servitude - Now being edited



The Demon Song



Threads of Destiny



One Way Out



So as you can see I'm going to be kept busy for quite a while

Check back to this post to see how I'm doing over time, and I will make sure I keep it updated.

No I haven't vanished

I promise, I've just been very deep in story lines. For the past month or so I've been writing constantly on wide range of themes.

I've got multiple stories now waiting for me to edit them as well as lots more stories on the go. So watch out for good news soon I hope.

I will be keeping more of a record upon here so people know how the writing is going and what sorts of things I have been working on.

For now I need to duck back down into the world of vampires and werewolves, and other beings that go bump in the night.

'House' Keeping

Regular readers of this journal will have noticed a sudden change in layout. I decided it was time for a change and although the new layout isn't finished yet I would like to think it is certainly more visual then the last layout.

Sometimes change can be a very positive thing, so heres to the future.
