@Joan — thanks Joan. My novel writing adventures are definitely leading to a profound respect for those that have anything out in book form. I have so much to learn and so many broken pieces. St.

So glad you’re getting things together with the novel, Stephen. Keep going to the end – I’m beginning to think that this might work!

And well done with the stories.

@Harry — thanks Harry. It’s such a large commitment, I do hope the novel and I will be speaking to each other in a year’s time: she’s already moved in, is dominating my time, and won’t let me speak to anyone… I’m trying to stop her turning into something altogether too dark, but she’s started looking at me funny (and not funny ‘ha ha’).

Despite that, I’ll definitely keep folks updated on progress, and I fully intend to keep doing the odd flash fic post up here.

Oh, no. She’s heard me talking. She hates it when I’m not planning with her.

Coming dear!

St.

@Peter — thanks Peter. Getting stuff published is always a happy occasion. I’ll definitely need that time for any novelistic pursuits, as not a day goes past where I don’t wander down the wrong rabbit hole. But I’m learning a lot and mostly seem to be going forward. Mostly. St.

Congratulations on Kiss the Butcher’s Daughter and the other new pubs. Good for you on going for it and committing to your novel. Your, “plan of the plan” sounds like a good one to me. You are always entertaining with your flash and I would expect the same from your full length works. Keep us posted on your progress and best of luck!

That’s great news about the stories coming out and, for what it’s worth, I think you’ve made the right call in taking your time and giving things the space to grow.

Good luck!

Hi there Helen — I love that you finished off I Know You Know and got it published. I do remember it. Similarly, good job on your self-published book. If one thing defines a great writer — or at least makes that accolade possible — is finishing off the words and getting them out there. So if you can do it, I’d love to do it, too. Though I’ve got a whole bunch to learn St.

Good luck I’m sure you will succeed. I have to have a plot outline and then I plot chapter by chapter I did this for my book I self published last year and guess what remember the serial I ran called I Know You Know – well I extended it and it has now been published as a novella by Crooked Cat Publishing – so if I can do it, a great writer like you certainly can. ^_^
