JaneShuff

  • Thanks, everyone 🙂

    I am just about halfway through writing the second book now so the encouragement is much appreciated.

    @JaneShuff – that has to be one of the best TBRs 😀

    @Bella – I thought I was being flippant when I spoke about lads marrying their mother-in-laws, but having checked, there were cases where families got split up and the…[Read more]

  • THanks for the interesting post @richardb. 🙂 I did laugh at Harry critisising the very services that JW offer! I guess their taught courses are less in depth than an MA, but it’s the same principal. As someone said (@janeshuff?) I love that the SE course attracts a wide range of writing genres/styles so there seemed no gravitation towards some…[Read more]

    🙂 you and me both, @janeshuff

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years ago

    @janeshuff is that actually a true story, or tongue in cheek? I am intrigued…

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years ago

    thanks @janeshuff and @philippaeast! All crossing much appreciated 🙂

    Found you @janeshuff! You ARE called Janeshuff, but for some reason you don’t come up in the dropdown menu – but I think I still managed to send you a message and an invitation. I’ve think I’ve also invited @jillybean and @daedalus to join Camp – did that come through, you two?

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 1 month ago

    Nope to the email address. Have you signed up for the Camp? I think you have to sign up specifically for it first – it won’t find you from the old Nano site (which I think is why I can’t find @daedalus and @jillybean at the moment). It’s a private cabin so you won’t see it @janeshuff – if you make it public they fill it for you and I don’t…[Read more]

    @janeshuff I can’t find you! There doesn’t seem to be a Janeshuff coming up. Other Janes, but not you 🙁 Might you come up under another name? Ditto for @daedalus and @jillybean

    • Try under my e mail address. I will send it again if you gaven’t got it. Or what is your name?

      • Ok I have just seen this on the Camp NaNo website:

        ‘Once in your cabin, you can invite your friends by typing their usernames into the invitation field. You can invite up to 19 Campers. A Camper must have created a profile, a novel, and deselected “I don’t want cabin invitations this session” to be eligible.’

        So there you are – you need to be si…[Read more]

    • (Also you have to select, “I don’t want to be included in a cabin” so you are not sorted into a random cabin)

    • No invite thus far, Kaz. My NaNo handle is ThrowingCopper. (You did invite me right? Because someone else had already nabbed the name Jillybean 😉)

      • Aha! Got you 🙂 and yes I did invite Jillybean so I’d better go and uninvite them, if I can…

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 1 month ago

    @janeshuff what are you calling yourself over there? I’ve set up a private cabin called Mini Den and want to invite you 🙂

    • Should be called Janeshuff. Sorry @kazg I will reply in more detail later. Right up against it with a client who wants something translated into beautiful French in two hours before she gets onto a plane… Beautiful French is not my thing, so need to get it done fast enough to find someone to check it.

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 1 month ago

    Hooray for you @janeshuff! But I’m not sure about the cabin thing – i’ll go and have a look…

    Thanks @raine!

    @janeshuff Yes, I’d been thinking that. I’ve just posted a comment along those lines, although I suggested to end of April, as March is running away with us.

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks @raine, @daedalus, @janeshuff! Yes, Snakes and Ladders is exactly how it is. We’re only submitting to PRH at the moment; the situation is a bit unusual in that I got a response from them after pitching directly to them, before I’d even signed with my agent (which happened just after, actually). They’ve already given me editorial feedback so…[Read more]

    Oh, @janeshuff, I am sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to get back up from dashed hopes. I SO enjoyed reading the extract from your novel, and am keeping everything crossed for a nice slew of successes in 2019

  • Raine posted a new activity comment 7 years, 3 months ago

    Yay @philippaeast for reaching the end – that really has been an epic act of bravery, so well done. And I’ll keep fingers crossed Sarah’s verdict is ‘Yes! Out on sub now!’ 🙂
    @daedalus three novellas!?!? THat’s fantastic news, you kept that quiet, you sly thing you! So pleased for you, hope that gives you a huge, well earned boost.
    And @janeshuf…[Read more]

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 3 months ago

    Thanks @janeshuff! And sorry to hear about your dashes hooes ☹️ All credit to you for keeping going, even if it feels like bumbling right now. Hope you feel more positive soon x

  • KazG posted a new activity comment 7 years, 4 months ago

    I was wondering what happened in the end with your agent and that book @janeshuff – that sounds like a brilliant plan. You get to keep the agent relationship and also your (wonderful) book has its chance, independent of that. I do love all he options open to writers these days, even if publishing is so much harder in others. Good luck!!

    It’s exciting when things veer off plan, especially when there’s energy in the veering, rather than just a ‘I’ve lost momentum and don’t know where to go now’ type of thing. I would listen to it if I were you @janeshuff. Might, just might be something great bubbling up from your subconscious? An early Xmas gift perhaps??

    • How right you all are. It is exciting. The new ideas are much better. It’s all part of the process. I have been trying to keep a diary this time so I can remind myself next time how tortuous the process of coming up with and writing a new WIP is. I have let the diary slip because of everything else, but must get back to it.

  • Libby posted a new activity comment 7 years, 4 months ago

    I agree with Philippa, @janeshuff.
    Sounds like you’ve achieved a lot with the writing, what with family celebrations as well.

    Oh no, hope you don’t get stuck! yes, the French know how to get protesting, don’t they? Phlegmatic they are not. Good luck with the writing @janeshuff
