Five Lessons Learnt about Rewrites. July 15, 2015. July 13, 2015. It took me a long time through my writing journey (one which I know will never end) to understand that novels are not written in their readable form in one steamy afternoon. I don’t have a problem with knocking out a first draft – I have six of them in varying states of rebirth but I have struggled with finding a process for rewriting, which is the time when the real stuff really happens. With reference to the ‘filing bin’, never delete an...

My Works in Progress: Health Check from a Hot July. July 31, 2015. As the temperatures soared into the low 40’s this month and constantly stayed there, my WiP’s have struggled to keep it together.

Three (or Four) Good Reasons to take a Holiday from Blogging. August 5, 2015. Or maybe I should just extend that to writing in general! Sign up if you haven’t already. It’s August and all of Italy is on holiday. Well most of them, apart from those in the service and caring industries. So our little lane, usually a haven of tranquillity, is buzzing with visitors to their ‘holiday homes’ in the peasant county of Le Marche. So time to brush up on my Italian, which is atrocious. See you in September! Click t...

Top Notch Book Bites: Twice - Lisa Unger (Lisa Miscione)

http://topbookbites.blogspot.com/2016/07/twice-lisa-unger-lisa-miscione.html

Top Notch Book Bites. Tuesday, July 12, 2016. Twice - Lisa Unger (Lisa Miscione). Author: Lisa Unger (Lisa Miscione).

A fantastic, fresh, young zest for life bounces innocently through the pages describing (with considerable skill) horror after horror – and it’s a great combo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
