Ten Tips for Writers
1. Authors tend to depression, alcoholism and suicide. Don't do it.
2. OK, if you're still determined you're probably at least slightly masochistic and mad. This helps.
3. Write a good book, or at least part of a book, but preferably a whole book.
4. You have to type it. Double spaced with big margins and page numbered. Your manuscript should not have marmalade, coffee, or... Read more of this blog post »

updated Aug 01, 2010 07:21am
Description:
Kelly Ann is all loved-up with her gorgeous soulmate, Chris, so there's no way she's going to let her attraction for the dark and dangerous new boy at school go any further. OK, so he rides a cool Harley Davidson motorbike, plays in a cool band and has dedicated a song to her. But she's not going to let that rock her relationship with Chris, is she? Besides, Kelly Ann has other things to worry about. Like being dragged through the mud by a rogue Great Dane, locked out of the house by an eight year old she's supposed to be babysitting and that YouTube video that shows her grappling with a half-naked guy in Pizza Express - 200,000 hits and counting in just twelve hours...

“Gary didn't get up until 11:30, but I managed to squeeze ten minutes alone with him in the kitchen before Chris drove me home. Asked him how things had gone with Samantha.
'Not entirely successful.'
'Told you so.'
'Might have been better if I hadn't spotted the open balcony door and decided to climb up and sneak in.'
'You idiot Gary. Bet Samantha freaked out.'
'Actually, no, she didn't. But the girl whose flat I broke into did. Those balconies all look the same you know.'
'Oh my God.'
'Yeah she made quite a fuss. Wouldn't let me explain- just ran out screaming and called the police. Thank God Samantha was next door and heard her. She managed to convince the girl I wasn't a vampire or pervert prowler but an upright citizen who'd made an honest mistake.'
'Idiot, you mean.'
Gary grinned. 'She may have used that term.”

“So tell me what's wrong, Liz.'
Liz stared at Julian's picture again. 'Oh Julian, Julian,' she sobbed. 'How could this have happened to us?'
'It's Julian isn't it?' I said, gently. 'Something's happened.'
Liz stopped sobbing. 'Of course it's Julian, you idiot.'
Charming.”

“As I hurried along I was thinking how great it was to earn real money I don't have to ask my parents for. At last! I've worked out that I could probably handle as many as four dogs at a time. If I take them out just on school days I could earn 200 euros a week for five hours' work and have the weekends free to shop and spend it. It's going to be brilliant.I should have asked Stephanie what kind of dog it was. I eyeballed a Great Dane warily, my face about level with its. Bloody hell it was huge. Size of a pony. Wasn't sure whether I was expected to walk it or stick a saddle on its back and ride the thing.”

Nice to meet you, Liz. I always enjoy meeting fellow writers. What part of Scotland are you in? We used to live in Troon but are now in Northern Ireland.Dianne Ascroft,
author of 'Hitler and Mars Bars'
Hi Liz and thanks for the friendship. You are a hoot!I love your bio and the blog on your website. I'd love to come to Glascow - I have a thing about rainy weather. It seems my muse is more creative then. But your wit is a riot!
Blessings,
Jeannie
Hi Liz and just wanted to drop in and thank you for the connect:) At first reading your bio I was a little saddened but you seem to have found a weapon against all the previous hurts...Humor:)
