Beta Readers Wanted – Historical Fantasy

So, the time approaches. Hold strong your nerves, have courage, take heart. At the end of May, I will* have finished revisions on Daughter of Kings. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know this as Queen of Hearts. As I've mentioned a couple of times, I made the decision to split Queen of Hearts into two volumes. Daughter …

How Time Flies: Round 2 Week 2

I'd like the say that despite what the colours below might indicate, I am quite pleased with what I achieved this week. Especially as my computer is now at the point of crashing at least once per session. So this was basically me: Anyway, moving straight along.... These were my goals for the week: Reading Sasha (probably) …

The Sweet Taste of Success

November 30th. The last day of November. That last day of NaNoWriMo. This past month has gone so incredibly fast, no doubt in part thanks to the craziness of NaNo. I'm pleased to say that this year, my second year participating, I met all my goals and reached 50,000 words.

WIPpet and Beta Reader Call Out

Hello once again, my lovelies. For those of you who saw my post on Monday (Five Things I've Learnt About Keeping it Together), you'll know I'm beginning to look for better readers. As I've been editing, I've found that there are some sections which I simply cannot be objective enough about to edit properly or I cannot see …

Five Things I’ve Learnt About Keeping it Together + Beta Call Out

Brilliant news! Yesterday (while supposedly writing my 3000 word essay which is due sooner than I’d like to admit) I managed to fix a plot point in Queen of Hearts that’s been bugging me for years and add nearly 2000 words to my word count which means I can afford to cut 2000 words worth …
