Hi Tony,
Like Squidge and Bella, I prefer ‘A Lyttle Goes a Long Way’ because it’s a clever play on words and makes one wonder on the nature of ‘a long way.’
One phrase that sprang to mind was ‘jaw-dropping tales.’ Adjectives such as amazing / astonishing / astounding / incredible tend to be done to death and wouldn’t capture my attention.
Hope…[Read more]

Greeting friends, says I sheepishly peeking out from behind my laptop. I’ve been distracted elsewhere – nothing particularly exciting, but sometimes life just gets in the way and one gets out of the habit of logging in. I hope Denizens are well and productive? I see that JohnT and MadIguana have both had recent successes, so huge c…[Read more]

I really should be keeping the old writing muscles warmed up, but I’m waiting for an edit to be returned, for the publisher’s opinion of Black Ruby (my two lovely betas have pointed out the weaknesses I thought were there, so that’s good!) to come through, and it’s fast approaching the end of term here and I have a whole primary school library to…[Read more]

Thinking time maybe, Squidge?

YEah, mulling and marinading time! End of terms and holidays are always writing-time killers, aren’t they? I’m sure you’ve thought of it, but I always try to have something I can do on paper over the hols cos I’ve got a much better chance of grabbing ten minutes with pen than on computer (especially as it’s an old beast that takes 30 mins to power…[Read more]

didn’t I reply to this too?? Cos it’s GAWN…

Can’t believe how busy end of term is…
Yep, can do bits and pieces on paper, but I’m wary of putting too much effort in now if things change much further back and have an impact on later work. Such a fine balance. Doing lots of reading instead.

Reading is excellent @squidge. I’m not doing enough of that and feeling the lack myself. It’s such a good way of ‘filling the well’ isn’t it? Enjoy!

Saw John’s news, but congratulations to Mad Iguana too – what an achievement for you both.

Squidge replied to the topic Help with a Title, please. in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years ago
First off, I prefer your original working title – Limelight doesn’t say much to me, but the play on words makes me wonder who Lyttle was, and what sort of ‘long way’ was it? Journey? Promotion? Makes it sound quite comedic, too. It would certainly attract interest, regardless of whether anyone knows of your ancestor or not.
With your subtitle,…[Read more]

A reminder for anyone wanting to post in the May/June comp … 10 days left. Post either (or both, if you like) 400 words beginning of a work in progress, or a 400word flash based in your old school after hours.

Thanks for the reminder, Raine. I was thinking about this yesterday. That possible entry I’ve left half edited 🙂

Just re-read them all – what a wonderfully promising selection of future novels.

Many thanks Jane and Thea! If anyone who has read it could consider leaving a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads, that would be wonderful. Thanks for your review Squidge, delighted you liked it

Congratulations, Jules your book looks fab – I’m looking forward to starting the series! Also, really enjoyed reading about your research, especially re the horses. It made me wonder whether you’d written a short story for the winter challenge that featured a talking horse, but maybe my imagination is running away with me…

Thea replied to the topic Multiple Den Success in the forum Podium 7 years ago
Well done, Denizens, what a great concept, am looking forward to reading all the stories.
