Sharon wrote: "I also have someone to help with the front cover."nice one! At least it won't look as mediocre as the crimbo one!
Hey there was nothing wrong with it. When I showed it to the guy I am dealing with for the Summer anthology, he liked it. Event the size because it was different and it stuck out.

Did tell you, you was too hard on yourself.
that's a flaw of mine, i'm a perfectionist! Really exited about this one, haven't though of a story yet...
I am 629 words in at the moment, but that is all I am saying about it ;o)
haha! I've added the editor already, her name is Glenda. I kind of wish it would've been Emme but we can't afford paying her.Have you noticed there's a lot of members that haven't introduced themselves yet. I wonder if they are going to leave in the lurch.
Some have asked to join so we will see what happens. But I some are writing more then one story, so we will have some in there and I will put it to the writing group as well. The 13/14 yr old is already writing a story for it.

May be we should stick to the Merry Men for the author name? What do you think?
Sharon wrote: "May be we should stick to the Merry Men for the author name? What do you think?"That's cool for me!

Sharon wrote: "Hey we just said that - hee hee"great minds thinking alike again!
Sharon wrote: "Naturally ;o)"I just checked the calendar, Sophie only has Easter Monday off, their holidays don't start until the 12th April, when Sophie will be making her way back from England after a weeks holiday! So she will have 3 weeks off school in total!
Relaxation time....zzzzz......
Yes, sorry, nodded off there! Mind someone should tell the hypnotherapist that the sound of waves is relaxing yes, but also makes you want to go to the loo! Had to get up in the end, and I'm cold, its warmer outside than in!
Oh dear. I told you it would be longer then half an hour ;o)
Yep. I am now thawing out, slowly. My little helper is about to make her mum a fruit tea! Now she's nearly eleven she wants to start cooking stuff, but she has the attention span of a goldfish!
Sharon wrote: "Oh bless. It is at least a start."She is watching a word game program called Slam, French of course, it's good for my vocabulary as well.
Has everyone heard about the Bradford Batman?
Sharon wrote: "No!"Nope, what's he doing hanging upside down in Churchyards waiting for the odd virgin to pass by?....I bet he had a long wait......
Some guy in Bradford, dressed in a batman outfit delivered a fraud suspect to the police station before running off. No one knows who it was but the fraud suspect has been arrested and is due in court haha!

Be interesting to see what he does for an encore!
Hi all. I am back from Devon. We went for a walk along the coast from Brixham too Paignton. We were on a very rocky bit when the bow on my walking boots caught on the hook. I went flying, of course it all happened in slow motion. Then crash, my knee first smack right into a rock and then my hands. I am now naturally make the most of my injuries. It is too painful to stand long so house work is out and i can't do food shopping because my arms hurt. I can however, still lift a glass of wine and eat chocolates.
Morning all.Another lovely day in London. I have my laptop with me so will be writing while my colleague drives between jobs.
What have you all got planned today?

Morning Tony!
You can write while being in the car, I get dizzy.
Morning all,Yes it is a lovely day in London. I too will be writing today (naughty I know). I am over 2000 words in to my short story for the anthology.
I'm just over 1000 words in.I'm quite fortunate, I don't suffer with car sickness.
Funny, I was writing on the train this morning.

Oh my god! I haven't even started yet! crap. better get cracking!
First draft is due by 1st May. You still have plenty of time Eva. Don't Panic.

That was the first day of the holiday and my ex had me walking around all week irrespective of my suffering. The first day back at work my knee hurt that much they called an ambulance and took me to accident and emergency! I apparently have good, strong, dense bones, to which I added, a bit like the rest of me for letting him bully me into walking on a bad knee!
Badly bruised muscle was the result of the xray - no fracture, prognosis was it would pay me back for the punishment as I got older! And how! Welcome to the left knee club, the right one comes out in sympathy too!

Morning Tony
Not a lot, the Alain let the tiler loose in my bathrooms so that's me out of a job for today, bro in law is taking the doors to plane the excess bits off and I should have those back for Thursday/Friday.
So I am going to plan the colour schemes in the rooms and start by buying the paint for the downstairs bedroom!
Sharon wrote: "Funny, I was writing on the train this morning."I have done nothing yet, except clear the spam out of my emails. I did some more editing yesterday and found a 'to' that should have been a the! Made my day, the editor missed that one but then again so did I before I sent it off to be edited, when I edited it! Oh well third pass lucky!
You will know that word for word before long.
Sharon wrote: "First draft is due by 1st May. You still have plenty of time Eva. Don't Panic."What theme did you choose for the anthology this time?
Sharon wrote: "You will know that word for word before long."Yes, unless I get bored and start re-arranging bits!
Similar, Supernatural romance! Another carnival with a difference.
