WRiTE CLUB - Battle it out with DL Hammons

Good morning peeps!

Today I come bearing news of a kickass contest, held by DL Hammons! Apparently, WRiTE CLUB was first held last year, but as I wasn't blogging then, yesterday was the first time I heard about it.



WRiTE CLUB is kind of like the writers version of a knockout, in which writers are pitted against each other - anonymously so there is no need to be afraid - in numerous rounds with a final winner being chosen at the end by a team of incredible people including authors, editors and agents!

All of the details can be found here, check it out, sign up, and get ready to do battle!

    I'm tempted, but I'm not sure I can afford the time - I really should get SOME writing done this year!

    I've given you an award on my blog - please stop by to check it out :-)

      Annalisa, I think it's a one time 500 word sample. With all your short story expertise, this ought to be a cake walk for you!

      Ah, thanks Elizabeth - I'm sure I read the original post carefully, and I understood that it was a new piece for each round. I'll go back and read it properly!

    Cool, but I've never been much of a fighter. hehe.

    This is the way to fight. The pen, (or in this case the keyboard), is mightier right?

    Thanks Kyra; I missed this post. It was a lot of fun last year and I'm sure DL amped it up some this time.

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...
