And we’re back to the drawing board. M&B rejected our latest manuscript, which we thought they would. Since then, we’ve had very constructive and positive feedback from the competitions we entered so now we’re just getting my story ready for submission. I’m excited about it, and I’m glad we didn’t just go “Let’s pack it [...]

WAITING WAITING WAITING

It’s coming up to 20 weeks since we first submitted to Mills & Boon. Really, isn’t it about time they replied? The 20 week mark is when you are allowed to get in touch with them to query the status of your submission so watch this space for our aggravating harrasment of various editors unnamed. [...]
Out of my comfort zone

As Susan has mentioned, we’ve started working on Other Projects while waiting to hear back from Mills and Boon. Since between us we’ve written three M&Bs and started two more, we can afford this little writing luxury. Mine is a little less to what I’m used, as I’ve gone with a thriller. I don’t often [...]

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 [...]

Well, I’m happy to say that the move is complete. I haven’t found Celeste yet. I’m thinking she doesn’t want to return until she’s sure all the unpacking is done. But, I can happily report that Celeste may have momentarily deserted me, but my muse isn’t completely without hope. Standing in my new(ish) kitchen, baking [...]

I’ve decided that perhaps if I just keep writing about my writing, it will be things such as “Argh!” “Oh woo, I wrote a page!” and “Argh!” over and over so instead I’m going to write about something not writing related.
Rob Thomas brought out a new solo album in June and I am completely in [...]

Celeste – MIA

I swear there is nothing so divine, as a romance writer, than going away with your husband for the weekend. It was our fifth wedding anniversary on the weekend and we went to stay at a gorgeous old hotel in the city. Within minutes of me walking in the door, I could “see” a woman. [...]
Success!

I have finally conquered the empty Word page, which taunted me so cruelly for the last three weeks. Three pages down and I’m already heartbroken for poor Annie and struggling not to get to the part where she really blossoms and things fall into place for her. Ah well. I will struggle through with her, [...]
When Life Gets in the Way

Here’s the thing about working from home, be it as a writer, graphic designer or tupperware salesperson. Life can really intrude on your home office. I’ve started my next novel and was pretty happy with the flow and the characters that I had set up. Then BAM! Winter hits. Colds, coughs and indoor weather. It’s hard [...]
