It’s done. Cat and Sean are winging their way to London. Hope they like it over there. Hope the ed likes them. They’re really a lovely couple. Much nicer now I know them properly. Sean has been re-alpha’d because the ed warned me not to make him too good. And Cat has been de-immatured.They have … Continue reading “Chocks Away!”

The Red String Bracelet Or The Problem with Quirks
Thanks everyone for the great input on my last post! Got some great ideas. You rock, did you know that? Anyway, still on the subject of my difficulties with heroines, I had a bit of a brainwave today. It actually happened while I was doing a pilates class (as you do). I realised that in … Continue reading “The Red String Bracelet Or The Problem with Quirks”
Difficult Heroines
Right, well, no news for me this week. But I’m good with that. No, really, I am. Patience is a virtue and one I’m slowly learning. Certainly Maisey’s 20 month wait for her Call is a fantastic lesson in good things come to those who wait. So I shall continue waiting. In the meantime, I … Continue reading “Difficult Heroines”
Why Do We Do This Again??
I should imagine that I’m not the only aspiring romance author who is feeling sick at this moment in time. Hands up all those who entered the Modern/Modern Heat writing contest! It’s a horrible feeling eh? Knowing a decision is being made, one that is all about your hopes and dreams, and knowing that you … Continue reading “Why Do We Do This Again??”
Synopsis Sent
After two weeks of fiddling and rewriting, synopsis version 6 is on its way. Thanks to the wonderful Michelle Styles, I now have a story with potential, rather than severe flaws. Of course the editors at Mills and Boon may not agree but even if they don’t, I have learned SO much about conflict and … Continue reading “Synopsis Sent”
A Riddle Inside A Mystery Wrapped In An Enigma
No, I’m not talking about Russia (thanks Winston Churchill), I’m talking about the wretchedness that is internal conflict. As you know (or should know by now!) internal conflict is where Modern Heat/Modern is at and you’d think, after a year of learning about this, I would have finally figured it out. Nup. Witness my Kate’n’Alex … Continue reading “A Riddle Inside A Mystery Wrapped In An Enigma”
In the Millionaire Playboy Psychiatrist’s Penthouse
Two out the four statements in the above title are true and I’ll leave you to figure out which ones are which… Yes, it is a little bit sad to be posting a blog entry while I’m on holiday but a) wouldn’t you know it, I have a cold and am holed up in our … Continue reading “In the Millionaire Playboy Psychiatrist’s Penthouse”
Holidays!
Woohoo!! Yep, we’re going on holiday for two weeks on Thursday! Be the first holiday for me in months (no, two nights in Rotorua does not count) and I can’t wait. We’re going to Queenstown (see piccie) in the South Island for a conference that Dr Jax is attending. Queenstown, for those in the northern … Continue reading “Holidays!”
Having a Whinge
Having a grumpy ‘I hate waiting’ day today. Also a ‘my mansucript sucks and is boring’ day. There’s lots of emotion in there – I’m actually wondering if there’s too much! – but it still feels boring! Maybe I’m too close. Maybe I need to put a car chase in there to liven things up. … Continue reading “Having a Whinge”
Submission Doubt
I’ve put up my scarecrow again because I’ve got submission doubt and need something to scare away the crows.These are particularly ornery ones I have to say. It wasn’t so bad the first time around because I was just so pleased to have had a full request. And true, the first lot of revisions were … Continue reading “Submission Doubt”
