Well, I didn’t really think I would do this but I am writing something other than Mills & Boon. It’s frustrating that it takes such a long time to hear back on a submission, we are looking at about 17 weeks now. It’s hard to keep motivated and writing when you don’t know where it’s going to go. So, I thought I would try something different. I had a lovely, handsome, Regency hero walk into my head the other night and since he doesn’t seem to want to leave, I’ve started working with him. If something happens with M&B in the meantime, well, I can always go back to that. Nothing’s fixed. But in the mean time, Sebastian is HOT! I’ve got a few plot ideas from the quote below, just quietly!
A cat is a regency gentleman–elegant of pose, exquisite of manner, with spotless linen and an enthusiasm for bare knuckle fights, rampaging love affairs, duels by moonlight and the singing of glees. He expects immaculate service from his domestic staff, and possesses a range of invective that would make a navy blanch.
~ Pam Brown
Very Mr Darcy! I would add a simmeringly wicked sense of humour you can only find deep in his gaze or hidden adeptly in gentle comments.
Well you’ve got me drooling – go with it I say!
Don’t worry about the turn around time – time management is not a massive skill in the publishing industry – just marketing. On the very brightest side you didn’t get a Dear John a week after sending it in! Keep up the good fight
Did you watch ‘Lost in Austen’? If you did, what did you think?
