And in the beginning

Mmm...my first blog. I really should think of something profound. Mmm...me thinks if I wait for that to happen this blog might not get off the ground. In way of introduction I am a yet-to-be published writer who is targetting Harlequin Mills and Boon, or more specifically, their Sexy Sensation (Modern Heat)line. My current status in this chase is that I currently have a full manuscript sitting on one of their editor's desk. At least, I hope it is on her desk and not banished to the dust bin of romance history. They have had the manuscript for two weeks, three days, four bottles of wine, six fingernails and ten hair pulls and much wailing and gnashing of teeth. But as an aspiring writer, I am not resting on my laurels and placing all my hopes in this one manuscript. I am currently working on another and at present, after two weeks, I have almost finished the synopsis. Okay, so progress is slow. But at least it is progress.

So, I intend to blog here on a regular basis and talk, mostly to myself and hopefully some others will drop by for a drink and a chat. And I will keep myself, and those others that drop by posted on my progress.

Cheers

  2. Omigod! My first visitor. I guess you are still procrastinating Lucy if you have found my blog.

    No, the manuscript was not the contest one, but the one that came from the contest, if that makes sense. It is the one that Jenny has worked with me on as she didn't think that my contest entry carried enough 'vavoom' to carry it for 50,000 words. After finishing this manuscript, I have to agree with her. This blog is so much a work in progress. Where do I download the WIP meters from? Where do I find time to blog every day?

  5. Ha! I have found you too! I have to say I'm pretty devastated that my word meter website is currently offline and with it my own meters, finger nails are being bitten since its my favourite site and I don't want to switch to another *sigh*. Oh the depression... ;)

  6. I know. I am having no luck with the word meter so that must be the problem. Not that there is much to be keeping track of at the moment. But there could be...at any moment....
