Anyone on here. Help. Something went wrong in the copying of my story to Whodunnit. It’s full of visible computer code. Anyone know how to cure that?

Salter is an author I’ve never read. 90% of my favourite                                                                          contemporary authors are women, but that may be as much about genre as gender. I read very few thrillers or crime novels, and only occasional l…[Read more]

My usual remedy for reading problems is to read children’s books. I read a lot – they’re my therapy.

Being the the most amazing beta-reader, your copy will appear before I publish it. Pre-publication copies are currently at the printers.

Not exactly surprising, given the similarities between our writing, but interesting.

Mind you, I’m still puffing away a good stretch back from the finish line 🙂

I’ll be cheering you on!

It certainly has. I began writing seriously in 2004, at the age of 50.

I can see some similarities there. I started around then as well. You were a couple of years ahead of me on the age front, but it seems we picked up our pen and paper about the same time.

I have no invites to pass on yet, but I gather you get them after a while. It’s a fairly empty space at the moment, but I think it will fill up. People like Joanne Harris, Neil Gaiman and Chuck Wendig are on board.

I’ve never written a whodunnit either, Kaz, apart from a silly story about a ghostwriter that probably doesn’t count! It’ll be a fun challenge, but meticulous planning and me don’t really go together.

My latest blog post. And how searching the attic at the back of my brain uncovered much that I had conveniently covered in dust sheets. In retrospect, my first novel on the subject in 2012 barely scratched the surface. https://johnalextaylor.com/fractured-memories-and-fiction-digging-deeper/

Try toggling between ‘Visual’ and ‘Text’ and pasting into it set to one then the other to see if it works better. The only other alternative is to paste it into a notepad-type app where it will clear all the formatting, and you won’t get the code, but you probably will need to go through it in the editor and manually add things like italics (and…[Read more]
Thank you – I’ll try.
