This is SO SO SO fantastic! And what a ride! Laure really has worked so hard for this, constantly writing and submitting short stories, going on courses, writing and re-writing her novel(s), and continually striving for her break. SO PROUD OF HER!

Regrettably, nothing. 42K+ words into my current wip, taking some pains to streamline the process, not make the same mistakes, I realise I am still incapable of identifying, plotting the story until the characters tell me who they are and what is happening.
After a couple of weeks of floundering (necessary, it appears) I…[Read more] -

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI saw youβd done it @raine but I canβt look until I have had a go myself. Well done on the new pantser WIP. Enjoy. You can always be like me and spend months trying to get it into some sort of shape afterwards.

The Spring Has Sprung
‘The birdies is upon the wing, but that’s absurd.β
Tom was on his hundredth rendition of the poem when I clutched his hand and pointed to the merry-go-round.
‘Look, Tom. Your Uncle Fred and I used to play on that when we were your age. Do you want a go?’
He pulled himself free and ran to it with excited bouncing s…[Read more]

I said on Twitter, but will say again here because this is worth double congratulations …. YAY!!! I’m so delighted for you. Not at all surprised that you’ve found yourself an agent, and cant’ wait to see where you go from here. π

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI did the decluttering exercise the other day, @janeshuff. But yes @janette, I might try the monthly prompt as a mini-challenge next week. I’ve actually just speed-written 1,300 words of a brand new wip with NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER, which is Very Not Me! I figure in the absence of an ability to concentrate, maybe I should give pantsing a go! π

@Raine, I feel very guilty about this, but my meeting with the agent today has left me with quite a list of ‘to do’s’ she wants done quickly, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the comp.
Re the new wip, best of luck, though I feel it is in very capable hands and sometimes no planning comes up with surprising results! -
@Raine – sounds liberating. Long may it continue.

Oh WOW @elle! That is such a brilliant ride – 3 agents offering rep, including your dream agent! That is truly the dream π And yes, it must be a ripper of a book. Having seen some of your writing, I’m not in the least surprised. CONGRATULATIONS!! Enjoy the giddiness π

Thanks @athelstone! Still going to have to do some editing before it’s reading to go out on sub. It was interesting to see how agents can see the same book really differently.

Don’t anyone worry about the monthly competition. Janette and Jane or anyone else, please don’t feel any pressure to participate. I understand.

CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoI am going to try @janette to combine the monthly comp and the decluttering exercise somehow. Maybe it will be a mistake!

Janette posted an update in the group
CoronaMo 6 years, 1 month agoJust noticed that no-one’s partaken in the monthly comp so far. Might this be a good distraction from that which shall not be mentioned? Iβm pretty busy but will try and fit it in.

Wow, brilliant news, Elle. All I can say, apart from well done, is that with that much interest, your book must be top notch!
