‘Donkey Work’
With the exception of Eleanor I and Peeling Layers (Lizzy & Michael I), I have put off the editing and revising processes of my other novels for far too long. It was, by and large, a deliberate process. I think every writer would tell you that once you’ve given birth to these characters, moulded and developed them as though they were your own children, growing right before your very eyes, you gradually became very much attached to each and every one of them. Over time, these...

Read MoreBehold… A Prologue!

But the muse came back this morning, and I have been a hermit today, staying at home and writing intermittently. And lo and behold, I think below will be a part of the Prologue for ‘Isabelle & Eldridge’ novel I’m currently working on. Even though it was already an hour past curfew, Isabelle ran across the main garden decisively, not...

A while back, I was tagged by Miranda Gammella to participate in Lucky 7. Like her, it was a brand new concept to me, but it was also, as she assured me, a fun concept. Here are the rules: Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript Go to line 7 Copy down the next seven lines/sentences as they are. No cheating! Tag 7 authors to join in the fun. The current manuscript I’ve been working on is currently titled ‘Isabelle and Eldridge’. It’s...
Read MoreSame Craft, Different ‘Pen’
For the longest time, I resisted the concept of working on multiple storylines at once. Between a rather demanding full-time work, maintaining my relationship with my darling husband and some social life (including spending a considerable time with my husband’s family), working on more than one project is the surest, fastest way for me to go crazy and run for the hills. ‘But what about those stories forming inside your head, begging and competing to be told?’, I hear you ask....
