I’m pretty sure I’ll get the words down. But right now I have only the vaguest plan and I can’t think of even a working title.

Not yet but the lifeboat is a good place to put them 😊

I’m doing NaNo this year. In process of planning new novel ready to start. I’m on there as ThrowingCopper if anyone wants to buddy up? 😊
(Think I’m already buddies with you, Ath and Daed.)

I removed that sidebar because a glitch in the WP software meant that it was displaying posts from private groups publically, Richard. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue since 2013 and no one has yet found a workable repair to the code. Will have a proper look at it or at an alternative when I’ve got time next week. But that’s why it’s gone…[Read more]

Impact
The EVA suit’s read-out flashed Warning! Oxygen levels at 18% in eerie red. Jepson’s mind was foggy, irrational. All her training hadn’t prepared her for the reality of being stuffed into a damaged evacuation tube and launched into the airless void.
It had begun with impact. Many in fact, although Jepson only counted three as notew…[Read more]

I have received six arcs this year so far about exactly that, Richard. And I note many othets coming into the library where I work. They are all some permutation on the haunted house. There is definitely a market for it.

And there’s The Silent Companions out recently and doing really well as a reading group type thing…
-
Forgot to say: though I say it as shouldn’t, I find the book less convincing as a ghost story than my own, and the climax is a bit OTT. Well, I’d better carry on with trying to lick my MS into better shape.
-
Not actually a Haunted House, but still ghostly, and very creepy, Susan Hill’s Dolly is the most enjoyable book I’ve read this year.

Yes, don’t give up @richardb! I’m not sure the talk of fashions is much help being as agents are always guessing on what will be next, and the things in the shops were signed two years before. We were told about 4 years ago that post-apocalytpic was done. But there are still agents asking for it, and still new books appearing in the shops. And I’m…[Read more]

I’m going through agents at the moment listing those with that particular request.

Have you changed the Den address on your favourites bar, Sandra? Once you’ve typed it in (or copied and pasted it) as https://www.denofwriters.com you should be fine. If not, let me know. I may be able to help.

Thanks Jules and Daeds,
Den address is correct. I do think some of the problem might be my fault (forgetful of passwords) My main panic was missing out on Ath’s Room with a View deadline, so I’ll sit tight until the 21st at least.-
Sandra, DON’T PANIC. I extended the deadline to the 30th in the hope that some of our former entrants might find their way here in the extra time.

Yes definitely fine for everyone to post lists of blogs and/or books they found useful. I guess we can see what we get and if it starts to get clunky we can amend it to create master lists.

I can look at a plugin to display certain blog rss feeds on the sidebar if you like?
Failing that there’s a lot of writing blogs I’ve found useful. I was going to post a list of them in the lifeboat 🙂
