It isn't going to get much better for the next month either. I am committed to something that will take me away from my desk for the next two weeks - then, hopefully, a moment to snatch a breath, turn round, plan a course, pack - and head out to Fireguard where I'm teaching Writing Romance at Writers' Holiday again.
I can't wait for that - a chance to meet up with dear friends, talk about writing, drink a little wine - maybe even find sometime to stare at the sea if the sun shines and I get a chance to sit on the balcony to my room - every other time I've been to Fishguard it has been February so I've usually had to stare at the sea from inside my room. This time will be the first time I've been there in the summer. I shall miss being at Caerleon but I'm looking forward to being part of the new Fishguard Writers' Holiday.
I've been working on plans for more courses - so hopefully they will be coming up soon and I'm hoping to get my web site updated to include the information. So if you're interested in writing romantic fiction, look out for those. (You can find the preliminary information here)
I was tagged in a post on Facebook to tell readers about my WIP (work in progress|) - answering that was rather tricky as the book is currently with my editor and I don't yet know what she thinks of it. But in case you haven't seen that Facebook post - here are my answers:
Anne McAllister has tagged me to share five things about my
Work In Progress . . .but . . .
She tagged me ten
days ago when I was waiting to know if the WIP was actually in P – ie progress
– because it had left my desk and headed for my editor’s. However, I still
don’t have a verdict on this story – so * don’t know if it’s in progress,
progressed or not going anywhere at all – so I’m not sure if I tell you
anything that it might change . . .
But, as things stand:
1. The heroine is
Alyse, the hero Dario – I hope! Alyse is named for a long ago friend of my
mother’s.
2. They meet at a
charity ball in London when in fact each of them is looking for the other,
though they don’t know it.
3. The phrase that
sums up my hero is ‘I don’t do family’
I’m going to complete the 5 things by giving two other
things about the book I’m planning out because that’s the one in my mind:
4. The book is a sort
of a follow on from the current ‘A Question of Honor’ so that there is a chance
to catch up on the lives of the hero and heroine of that story – and one other
character.
5. As a result, this
book has to be set 10 years after the ending of the first book because one
character in particular has to change a heck of a lot from the way he was
before. Well, the truth is that a LOT has changed since then!
