It would be helpful to add a little more detail in the warning, Tony, just so people can be prepared for what they are about to read.
This is not an issue with the story itself; but I think it might serve as a courtesy to others to let them know what they are about to read. -

In the midst of a blurry fortnight of visitors coming and going, so whizzing in and out, soz. Congrats to all those posting excellent news!
-
Also feel like I’ve had endless weddings, visitors, trips and general shenanigans for months. Gets in the way of writing a bit, doesnt it! Lovely to see you, anyway.

Waves and ditto what Raine said except the weddings.

I know! In August I went out to see the world. Now in September, the world is coming to me. True story.

Hi Squidge!
How lovely to read about Tilda, and dive into the world you have created. I really like the idea of Tilda being so aware of the Power inside her – literally feeling it – but now grappling to translate this into the creation of the orb. It’s quite symbolic in a way!
Overall, this second version seems tighter than the first, so well…[Read more]

Thanks, Janette. Poop, sorry I missed you at York – I still haven’t matched up real life faces! I hope all is well with you and your writing and you had a successful Festival. x

Might I request that the warning above be amended to highlight the offensive nature of the post? Thanks.

Fall y’all!
I can say it. And wave my accent appropriate hat in the air, and drink a shot of whisky. (I am really doing that last one)

This is wonderful news CJ. Important step on the road – I suspect the fact is has taken a long time is a good thing. Beware the quickly sorted contract.

Started out writing a blog about the sorry tale of my first novel, disappointing publishing experience, imploding publisher and legal battle to recover my rights. Has turned into a three-part series…

Haha Odo the lurcher will always have a special place in my heart but I was talking of bishop Odo – who behaved exactly as a bishop was not supposed to both in going to war bearing arms and in other matters π

Seagreen replied to the topic As an opening… in the forum Critiques 7 years, 7 months ago
Yes. I much prefer the start of this.

Yes, Flying to the Edge. Itβs a slight connection, but itβs there

RichardB replied to the topic Book 2 of Oath and Crown out soon in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago
Yes, when I first started on An Argument, I kept thinking ‘Who’s that?’ and ‘What’s going on here?’ I soon got into it, but a straight-through read would avoid those little glitches.
So what’s your last NF book? I’ve lost track. Flying to the Edge?

Daedalus replied to the topic Book 2 of Oath and Crown out soon in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago
@jillybean Odo the bishop of Bayeux or Odo the lurcher?

Daedalus replied to the topic Book 2 of Oath and Crown out soon in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago
Wow, thanks Richard, thanks all. I’d be interested to hear how a back-to-back read feels, actually. The two books were written together in the first instance, although there was a lot of editing in the mean time, so it ought to work as a flowing narrative. The second one definitely has the advantage of pace – the history definitely felt as though…[Read more]
