The Writer's Bubble

Chances are, if you clicked on this based on the title, you already know what I mean by a Writer's Bubble. When I used to work hard on fiction, I found myself being surrounded by a little bubble of concentration. Nothing could burst it because I was so engrossed in the world I was creating on paper (obviously in the days before my trusty laptop came along!). It was a nice place to be, but at the same time, it was always a little isolating.

Cut to the present day, when I have been working hard on my "novel" again. I had actually forgotten about The Bubble. But today I realised that, in the times I have stepped away from the computer, I have still been in my own world, like a fiction trance. I only shook myself out of it a moment ago because, I was just finishing my lunch, and for unknown reasons, I threw my fork in the bin.

So, either it is because of The Bubble, or I am losing my mind! I prefer the first option. :D


Do you often find yourself trapped inside The Bubble? And have you ever done anything silly/strange/amusing because of it?

    Oh yes! I find myself in the bubble a lot, much to the annoyance of Hubby and baby.

    You want a response out of me while I'm writing, you're probably going to have to ask three or four times!

    And that's hilarious about you dropping your fork in the bin!!

    LOL, my mum has the same problem with me. I often hear, "Are you listening????" And I look up as if she hasn't asked me seven times and say, "Huh?" :D

    Sometimes I'm so in my bubble, I don't notice my kids come home from school :)

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
