I’ve been inking
Inking, with inks. I’ve started a drawing of Lady Eliza. I suppose I’ll have to post about it when it’s finished, really. Since I can’t show it until it’s done. It’s been fun though. I got myself a glass pen and inks for my birthday but I haven’t found the time to use them until…

I’m kind of nervous
I was planning on asking for this, you see. I hate the feeling though, idk if it’s fear of rejection or getting my hopes up… Well, I’ve made a request of a certain lady, regarding my book ‘Only Until Midnight’ and I’m really hoping it will interest her. If she says no I won’t be…

Miriam’s Adorable Landlady
I’ll do you an excerpt about Nettie. She’s a minor but important character to Miriam: He agreed, and they wandered back into town. Her room was a fair way from the tea house where she went to read; it was actually closer to where Harry still was. To his surprise, she invited him to see…

Almost always
All the time, actually. I can only think of a few things that I’ve passed up which might have been better to do than my goals. Namely, one very sensible factory job which I might have been better off sticking with than finishing my third year of university. The thing is, I really wanted to…

How about a little flirting?
CAUTION: Do not attempt to flirt with vampires, it’s a bad idea. I’m not encouraging it. Okay, Melanie has only just been sent the full manuscript, but I thought you might enjoy this, considering how much I’ve been going on about Harry and the romantic scenes. Don’t worry, it’s not going to escalate until just…

‘Only until Midnight’ review

Pros: this author has fantastic descriptions, the point of view the story was told from was wonderful, and I appreciated the love and depth that Ella had for her mother. Cons:…

Just a small note
I’ve just realised, I’m not doing an edit at all. I’m going to have to accept that it’s actually another draft or rewrite. I suppose this is a good sign, becuse I’ve been quite hard on myself for improving since August. I don’t believe I’ve touched or looked at this book since then and now…

Am I superstitious?
No, but I’m paranoid. Well, maybe not paranoid, but I worry too much and I have very little faith in myself at random intervals. So… I suppose I could also be angsty. Saying that, I live in a hotel and last night I had to go and put out the bins. This involves walking a…

A musing on the eternal fate of a vampire.
I’m half-way through this edit. It’s been painful, I knew that something about this book bothered me, but I didn’t know what it was. I think it was right in saying it was a lot of small things. There is so much dialogue in The Girl from the Basement. It’s got action and stuff too,…

Aw, you guys =)
There are 90 of us now! I know there are a couple of other people who come to read my blog from FB and whatnot, but I can’t believe 90 people signed up to listen to me prattle away about trying to be a writer. It means a lot. So thanks, WordPress buddies. And also…
