Hi guys,
I was awarded a place on this mentorship scheme a couple of years ago, and it was absolutely brilliant.
If you are a writer in the East Midlands area then definitely consider applying.
Here’s the link for all the details. http://www.writingeastmidlands.co.uk/services/mentoring/
Deadline 11th November

Love the sound of that, @raine, including setting up a group.

Just spotted this if anyone’s got anything that might suit?

SloMo. Love it. Matches me perfectly.
(Although I did manage a couple of hours yesterday on the WIP – nothing new added, but dialogue’s snappier!)

I like Two Cities and the Void, but wonder whether, for the novel as you’ve described it, The Void Between Two Cities works better? Which is more central to the story – the space between, or the actual cities? Looks like you’re getting closer to finding your title though.

Go with the one you and your agent both like. 🙂
FWIW I like it too.

Mine would definitely be a slow write. I have no idea how I’m going to get any writing done at all between now and the New Year… Not even my Room with a view! 🙁
I’ll sign up though, and hope for the best… -

The Banjo
The phone rings in the lost property office at Euston Station in London.
“Lost Property, Smith speaking, how may we help?”
He takes a sip from his tea, listens.
“Yes, sir, anything left on a train on this line ends up here. Assuming it’s turned in, like. What have you lost?
“So, a banjo is it sir? Well let me have a look, won’t be…[Read more] -

Well done, good job as usual, L!

I might sort of do it from the sidelines… use the general impetus and ground swell to push on with book 2. Very much doubt I’ll be hitting those targets, but I’d like to get some more chapters written.
Maybe we can have DeNoWriMo (Den novel writing month)

What a beautifully written story. My favourite line: “You said she made you feel young. How did she do that? I replied. Did she read you bedtime stories?”

PS Discipline…what’s that?

Squidge replied to the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 7 months ago
So does that mean we have to come clean on our daily word count? Oh Lord, I really WILL have to buck my ideas up!
Am I allowed the 1st November off? Interview day for candidates for the new vicar…and guess who’s one of the interviewers? 😉 -

HA! Just crossed with Daeds – Daeds, shall we form a novel finishing club?!!

Squidge replied to the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 7 months ago
Is there a version for NaNoFiMo? (National Novel Finishing Month) I really must get moving on the WIP, but I’ve stalled with everything else going on and I cannot get motivated to write at all. Keep knitting instead…

Squidge replied to the topic Opinion about title in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 7 months ago
I wouldn’t have said that any of them give any indication as to the target readership. I’d just assume it was an unusual character name, with possibly a hint of sci-fi, but it doesn’t give anything away about the story.

Listening to an old Jimmy Buffett album. Doesn’t have the same impact it did when listening to it lying on the deck of my boat with a glass of rum in my hand, swinging to the anchor in a Caribbean bay.
