2.7 BIG NEWS!

Last night I finished a LitRPG book and expect a review on that soon, but in the meantime, please, hold on to your knickers.

In the next day or so, I am going to have BIG NEWS.


You know what a querying author means when they say this.



I am ecstatic, over the moon, but also, very, very hush-hush until it's all finalised and I can let the cat out of the bag for real.

2.22 NaNoWriMo Prep 2018

It was a bright and sunny summer day in 2005 when my relief teacher for the advanced English class in High School held out a hand as the class were leaving the library. "Kristy, wait a moment, I need to talk to you." These words gave me pause, I mentally ran down the list of recent teen transgressions and wondered if I had been too loud or rude during class, "Yes, Ms?" "Have you heard of National Novel Writing Month ?" "No, what is that, Ms?" "It's a month where you write 50,000 words. A novel. It starts in November. I think it would be a worthy investment of your talent." Fast forward to 2018 I've been doing NaNoWriMo since 2005 without fail. Well, not entirely without fail. I've failed to finish 5 times. But I've always participated. Nano has been a worthy investment of my time and energy over the years. A worthy trial by fire, which I've found to be the only way I really learn anything at all. So h

3.1 The middle bits

First post for the new year and now we're looking at over a year of blog posts! I'm actually shocked I've made it this long for blogging. Anyway, recently I conducted a poll on twitter to find out which part people found the hardest for writing their manuscript. Unsurprisingly, it was overwhelmingly 'the middle.' I know some folk struggle with the beginning and end, I certainly fall into the 'endings are tough' category and have a tendency to rush them as a result. Why is the middle of a novel so hard?  Would it surprise you to learn that pantsers and plotters alike share this same problem? Those who are exploring their universe, those who know the next chapter down to a T, all share the same trouble around the middle-point of their novel. Whatever steam they had when they started the novel, it now runs out, or blocks up and words become a grind to produce. I hate to tell you this, but that problem never goes away. Your momentum may push you throu

2.14 Author Interview: K.M.Pohlkamp

Today I’m going to be interviewing the fabulous K.M. Pohlkamp, author of Apricots and Wolfsbane . Her debut novel released in October and it is chock full of girl power and intricate details. Please check it out and support her by leaving a review if you do! Summary of Apricots and Wolfsbane Lavinia Maud craves the moment the last wisps of life leave her victim’s bodies—to behold the effects of her own poison creations. Believing confession erases the sin of murder, her morbid desires are in unity with faith, though she could never justify her skill to the magistrate she loves. At the start of the 16th century in Tudor England, Lavinia’s marks grow from tavern drunks to nobility, but rising prestige brings increased risk. When the magistrate suspects her ruse, he pressures the priest into breaking her confessional seal, pitting Lavinia’s instincts as an assassin against the tenets of love and faith. She balances revenge with her struggle to develop a tasteless poison
