Opinions wanted

Stuck in a world where it’s every man (and woman) for themselves is it ok to trade a violent and dangerous man who poses a threat to you and the people you love as a slave in order to get much needed supplies?

Divided…

Opinions towards my debut novel, Above The Limit, seem to be divided. So far I have 6 reviews in total, 4 x 3stars and 2 x 5 stars. I am curious to know your opinion too…

Here I go again…

Here I go again…

Ok so I have ranted about this before in other places but I have to do it again because the advert is sooooooo annoying! The Ribena berries are cannibals! After traveling the world the adventurous berry returns home to be greeted by his excited family. He then promptly drinks his cousin in celebration! What’s with that? And the worst part is that it makes me want a Ribena!

Feeling good…

Another 1000+ words into Don’t Rock The Boat and I am feeling good. I have decided that bite size writing sessions are the way to go. This book is forcing me to draw on some very deep and personal emotions which can be exhausting but it is also strangely exhilarating. I am currently writing a very emotionally charged chapter which is exploring some of the darker corners of the human psyche and I am having a great time and realising a few things about myself in the process. This chapter is also going to provide a chance for some excitement too which I look forward to. One or two more paragraphs and my imagination will be released full throttle! I know that I am of course biased as the author however I really feel that Don’t Rock The Boat has the potential to become an epic story.

Hope you all have an awesome day

Moving on

Some of you may have noticed that I have been strangely quiet over the past few weeks, this is very unlike me who usually has something to say. Unfortunately my Grandad passed away a couple of weeks ago and I have been feeling less than social to say the least. Now however I have decided that it is time to move on and channel my grief into a more productive avenue. My writing has fallen to the wayside while I allowed myself to wallow but now it is time to pick myself up and carry on. I have just reached a chapter of my new novel which should be fun to write and also give me a chance to vent some of my pent up emotions that I have been struggling with for the past few weeks. Writing is once again proving to be an effective outlet for the turmoil inside of me, further distilling in me the sense that I have found my calling. 

Review of Above the Limit by Victoria Robinson

Reblogged from CSI- Creative Scene Investigations:

Wow...

RATING: A

For only the third time in New Zealand’s history a serial killer lurks among them, preying on the innocent and showing no mercy. This killer is out to teach the world a lesson. Luke McIntyre is a troubled man, haunted by past events and plagued by the unrelenting guilt that followed; he struggles to keep his life together.

In loving memory of Les Tripp, the best grandad in the world

Granddad you’re awesome,

In fact you’re the best,

Miles and miles ahead of the rest.

 

Granddad I love you

I miss you so much

On my life you left such a touch

 

I remember the days

When I was so young

So many trains and so much fun

 

I miss you and love you,

My life carries on

I’ll never forget you know that you’re gone.

 

And I’ll remember your laugh

As I follow my path.

And draw strength from the knowledge

 That your life wasn’t porridge.

 

I love you.

 

 

(he loved porridge and other than Norwich and forage not much rhymes with knowledge!)

Starting them young

Every night before bed my six year old daughter writes, she writes stories and poems and she loves it. Last night I was proudly showing my partner her work which is pretty good most nights and he suggested that we compile it into book form and on one page have it exactly as it is written , then on the next have it with the correct spellings. This is an idea that my daughter loves and is now pushing forward to fill her little notebook with writing so that she can publish her first book. Both she and her little sister are currently helping me to write a children’s book anyway so are already co-authors. It is having a wonderful impact on their imagination, vocab and creativity. I guess its a case of like mother, like daughter

Rant of the week?

I am considering adding a section to my blog, my rant of the week. There are so many things that irritate me on a a day to day basis, such as the ribena berries being cannibals, that I feel the need to create somewhere I can vent! Let me know what you think.
