You saucy devil you!!! LOL!
I know, I would like to say I am in shock, but I would be lying. I think Sarah could write her own Fifty Shades...
Darkangel wrote: "I know, I would like to say I am in shock, but I would be lying. I think Sarah could write her own Fifty Shades..."HA HA - no doubt it would be better written and far more fun!
Oh absolutely, I don't doubt that for a moment ;o)

Holds head down in shame, whispers softly 'I really was drunk' maybe not absolutely falling down and passing out type of drunk or who knows what I might have got up to. Blushes scarlet when she actually remembers some of the stuff she did get up to in that jaccuzi!
And oh god yes, you would all be in stitches, lol I could include some of the other Mrs Robinsons pearlers and they'd have to hand out a clean pair of knickers with every book sold!
And a packet of tissues to wipe the tears of laughter ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "And a packet of tissues to wipe the tears of laughter ;o)"Yes, but the knickers are more important I think, you can always wipe your tears on your sleeve!

Good god woman!! Write it. Write it now!! Tee he he he

Good..."
Okay, okay but just let me finish this one first, I may add the hot tub scene to the blondes. And don't forget the Homeopathy Dr foster in wiltshire the antics of a 50 year old nympho work perfectly in there, and I already started putting pen to paper and making notes!
This is so cool. I may not be able to read that one at work without been told off for laughing too much ;o)
Definitely one for a deserted beach, with cool blue waves lapping gently at your feet! Bermuda looks nice!
With a ice cold cocktail to sip - perfect!
Darkangel wrote: "With a ice cold cocktail to sip - perfect!"I'll tell Antoine to order one shall I? Thirty one will be with you shortly!
Oh you are a star and yes you are spoiling me, but I appreciate it ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Oh you are a star and yes you are spoiling me, but I appreciate it ;o)"That's okay then, right I'll attempt to tidy up the kitchen and see what the little mermaid in the back garden's up to! Talk to you all tomorrow!
Right, to give you all the info for the anthology.It has to be a wih a christmas theme, the charity is the nspcc (what best than a kids charity for a christmas thingy, right?) Only waiting on an eamail from them to find out how to send the money etc
i have a cover artist that is willing to do it free and i thought the maximun words 5k per story. The only thing i have missing is an editor but i supose that beta readers are ok, right?
Any other questions?
By the way, ive had a right shitty day, lost my keys today and coudlnt get into the house, walked half of barcelona (exagerating a tinsy bit)and it turns out i leftthem on my post box...fucking hell!!!

Okay Eva, so it's a Christmas tale, not poetry with a childrens theme, yes or no? With it being for a children's charity, and what age group are we targeting?
I can speak to Tina who runs one of the groups I'm in, she's a retired Literary Agent, she may edit for us being as how it's for Charity!
Another thought what's the deadline for entries?

My man Alain is the scattiest person I know with keys! He once spent a week looking for his keys to the house he's renovating only to find them a week later where he'd left them. In the lock in the door! Really security concious that!

Well i was thinking for adults, poetry yes! as long as it has a christmas thingy, right. Would the 15 of october be too far for a deadline?
Eva wrote: "Sarah R wrote: "Eva wrote: "Right, to give you all the info for the anthology.It has to be a wih a christmas theme, the charity is the nspcc (what best than a kids charity for a christmas thingy, ..."
Would it give the rest of the people time in order to turn the book around for Christmas? It's fine by me and now I know the age group I'll start thinking about titles and storylines.

tha's what i was thinking. Im going to add you as a friend, i've started a little group so we can all put our thoughts together...
Eva wrote: "What a random question, hair colour?"Blonde, dumb slightly flustered -naturally brown but my son said I was so blonde with the stuff I did with my computer that he had to fix so I died my hair in tune with my ditsy image!

Okay I'll look out for that!
Morning darkangel! I've started a little group for the anthology so we can all get sorted whitout having to post the same thing twice, i've already added you. i've checked the link you sent me, what a load of miserable gits! anyway. Sarah was thinking that the 15th might not give us enough time to get the booked ready for publication before christmas, maybe she is right. wot do you think?
Where as I am the reverse, naturally blonde and dyed it jet black ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Morning,"Morning how goes it with you, bloody sun's shining again, hot, really hot and I have to go to Guemene to fetch some stuff from the vets for Alain's mother's dog. It has cancer, but due to it being 13 yrs old it is not causing him to much pain. We hope!
What are you up to? Did you read 31?
Maybe we should aim for 30th September, and that extra 15 days would help us put it all together.
Darkangel wrote: "Maybe we should aim for 30th September, and that extra 15 days would help us put it all together."I will do my before then probably, write it in between doing HOD, how that will turn out I have no idea.
Sounds good to me guys! Sarah, im sure you can wip something up nicely!
Doh! are we back on the naughty stuff again ;o)
It sounds gud to me, Thanks Eva for your friend request, let me know how it works.
Darkangel wrote: "Doh! are we back on the naughty stuff again ;o)"Duh you heard the whip crack there! Don't know, I'm undecided on what Genre to go with, perhaps comedy romance! Lighten up a little Santa chick lit!
Darkangel wrote: "Something like Santa Baby ;o)"Thats one of the titles I have written down!
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - great minds ;o)"Yep, I have just had steak and oven chips and I am now eating an ice cream! Piglet! Make that eaten!
I'll have the chips and ice-cream but not on the same plate - lol
Darkangel wrote: "I'll have the chips and ice-cream but not on the same plate - lol"Sophie didn't fancy steak either, she had a big fat juicy sausage, minus the garlic! The French put garlic in their sausages and I hate garlic sausage!
Hmmm, garlic and cheesy chips - but I wont, back on the diet for the holiday!
Hi, Have you guys started to write the short story for christmas antology?
Darkangel wrote: "Hmmm, garlic and cheesy chips - but I wont, back on the diet for the holiday!"Wots a diet? I thought if you bought the book you lost pounds..........nobody mentioned I had to starve too!
Rishika wrote: "Hi, Have you guys started to write the short story for christmas antology?"No, Rishika, not as yet, I have several working titles but so far zero inspiration, it's too hot to be thinking of Christmas!
LOL - what are you like. I have the book(s).@Rishika - I am getting some ideas together and may start to put something down at the weekend. Mine will probably be poetry though!
I have to think of mine, will be planning it...

Yes, it SHOULD be. I assure you, it is NOT. :-("
Weird that maybe your cave is sat on a line of magma coming from some previously thought to be extinct volcano! Or there's a hot spring running underneath it! quick get a hot tub in there immediately! Mmm brings back memories of one night in Normandy, very drunk, very naked in a friends hot tub with other equally drunk friends! The shame! Lol my Jo got the blame for being there and she was at home tucked up in bed with her man at the time! It was her deviant mother in the tub!
I have had my Mrs Robinson moments too!
