12 Point Guide Workshop

The final Point #12 of the 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance is now up at the Pink Heart Society Aspiring Authors' Forum. 


This is the one that deals with the way romance novels are expected to end - The Believable Happy Ending - with the emphasis on that word 'Believable' so we're nearly at the end of this workshop.

 Before we finish completely, I will answer any questions anyone has - from any of the points or discussions in the workshop and then I will be setting Charlie the Maine Coon to pick a winner of a copy of the 12 Point Guide from amongst the writers who have joined in.

Good news

Wow! 

Just discovered this!  Thank you so much to everyone who grabbed a copy of the 12 Point Guide and made this #1 place possible

Posted another Point in the 12 Point Guide Workshop with The Pink Heart Society Aspiring Authors

How about some Plotting for the weekend?

 Students are often surprised that I get to talk about Plotting so late - but all the other points we've looked at are so important. Come and have a read and discuss - join in this weekend.

Winners

Since the rain stopped, Charlie has been off outside and I've had trouble getting him in to pick winners of 

the book giveaway but I finally managed it - and I'm happy to announce that the winners are:

Liz Harris  from Facebook
and an entry from my blog
Summer

Please message me / email  katewalker AT ntlworld.com with your postal address and I will get the books in the mail to you.

Weekend catch up and giveaway

So yesterday Facebook,  Blogger  and I didn't coincide. That was because I was helping the Babe Magnet celebrate an important birthday and we spent the day wandering around a major antiques centre - so that he could enjoy being amongst beautiful things that were older than him!! 

 The Pink Heart Society workshop had a bit of a hiccup too but I just posted to next section for that over on the Aspiring Authors Forum,

Apparently today is National Book Reading Day - so to celebrate that I'm running a small giveaway over the weekend. I've just received author copies of this book Ruthless Revenge - Sinful Seduction so I have 2 of them 

to give away. It's a 3 in 1 with titles by Kate Hewitt and Nina Milne. Just tell me what book you'll be reading over the weekend - put your answers in the comments below - and I'll get the stars of International Cat Day ie Charlie and Ruby to pick a winner each on Sunday evening - and I'll send the books out to the winners on Monday. Have good weekend. (And check in on The Pink Heart Society Aspiring Authors forum for more of the 12 Points.)

  Happy International Cat Day from Charlie and Ruby - who say Isn't it #International Cat Dat every day?

Today's topic  Point#2 is CONFLICT   and over the weekend
I'll also add  #3  - which concerns dialogue. So  there's plenty for you to read and think about.  Ask questions too if you need more explanation.

I've been putting put food and water for the hedgehogs in my garden all summer - last night we had a big hog filling up at one of the bowls and 2 smaller ones at the other dishes.   

 Ruby the cat has realised that when I go out at dusk to put food in the bowls it means her prickly friends are coming out to play - and she runs to sit outside the tunnels into their houses, peering into it, to see if the hogs are appearing.

I love them very much - but I would prefer it if they didn't leave small 'thank you parcels' in the shape of hedgehog poo all along the drive after they've eaten!!

Baby hoglets are leaving their mothers  at this time - it will really help them if you leave out bowls of fresh water and some food to help them build themselves up as they forage for themselves.
