We were having fish and chips for lunch but I got so engrossed with The two lovebirds and Frankie Goes to Hollywood I forgot to take the fish out of the freezer! So its bacon eggs sausages mushrooms and grilled tomatoes! The all day breakfast, Alain loves it!
I moved on to Helen and constable Bates now!
why do you print them? It must cost you a fourtune on paper and ink!
Eva wrote: "why do you print them? It must cost you a fourtune on paper and ink!"No I have one of the epson single cartridge printers and I only use cheap paper- I print economy and both sides! It helps to see my errors,gives me a feel for my characters!
I still don't have a printer, it costs me 10 cents per page at the library, i've alway heard the best way to edit your work is in a hard copy, but how many drafts do you do? how many times do you print it?
How are you going with your story darkangel? I bet you are almost finished
I print out my work to edit it and/ or have my hubby edit itI am working on a Christmassy short story this morning in between getting kids ready for school
Nice one Trisha!I think Darkangel is as well.
Not too bad, 1700 words in but had a few work queries I had to deal with - God Damn work, it always gets in the way - hee hee
I'm the same! Damn kids always asking for attention! lol

Lol How flippin inconvenient of people and children too! I am now going to set to and finish chapter 2 before Sophie comes home and try's to read what I'm typing over my shoulder, she will understand some of it but not all. Minx!
It seems like we all print to edit, seeing it in black and white helps no end!
Kids r at school :) and hubby is home

Darkangel wrote: "Not too bad, 1700 words in but had a few work queries I had to deal with - God Damn work, it always gets in the way - hee hee"Would you care to cast a glance over chapter two, and I warn you this is hot and definitely not for the faint hearted!
DO the bears S*** in the woods?Absolutely, send it on over.
2,400 words in, not bad for me.

That's excellent, it's already in your in box I should imagine, Eva's too!
Eva wrote: "I'm the same! Damn kids always asking for attention! lol"Eva check your inbox- you have mail! Yes, yes, yes oh yes! Strike up you tube for FGTH Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, and then relax for Driscoll and Cassie and try Sexual Healing Marvin Gaye for The deflowering of Master Bates!
Darkangel wrote: "I absolutely love it."Its not a bit ott? Like I said it got me hot under the collar writing it, and usually that means if it does it to me it should do the same to others. 50 shades didn't even push the start button, ever!
Well it certainly made me flush a bit - so it must be working. Left you a message. let me know!
Darkangel wrote: "Well it certainly made me flush a bit - so it must be working. Left you a message. let me know!"Yes, go for it!
Darkangel wrote: "Will do."I am going to try and work on the synopsis now. Wouldn't Raider love to get their hands on this!
I hope you don't send it to Raider, they don't deserve it.
Darkangel wrote: "I hope you don't send it to Raider, they don't deserve it."Not a chance in hell! This is going to an Agent or two, but which ones!
Hmmmm, I am sure there are a few that would snap that up.
Darkangel wrote: "Hmmmm, I am sure there are a few that would snap that up."Lets hope so because if I self publish there are going to be an awful lot of red faces in the publishing world for the second time in as many years over an erotic novel!
Night have a good weekend I am trying a different approach I put an Agent wanted notice out on twitter only agents with a sense of humour and willing to rep the next EL James and I left my G mail address!
The marsh Valley Seminary Theme for this year!Matthew 5: 14-16
14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set upon a hill can not be hid.
15)Neither do men light a candle, but put it under a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16)Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven!
Darkangel wrote: "Hmmmm, I am sure there are a few that would snap that up."Morning, was going back to bed then I got a phone call, Sophie's friend fell off a slide yesterday and her mum is taking her to the hospital cos her ankles swelled up overnight and she's black and blue all over.
Poor kid, I would have taken Sophie right away irrespective of where we were, not let the kid suffer all night.
So I now have to fetch Sophie at lunchtime, well at least I know what she will be eating will be a balanced meal, she's caught my cold and sore throat. Her pony's called Hirondelle (no I haven't bought it) I'm renting it for an hour for the next 31 weeks! She looked the part when I dropped her off on Saturday-I forgot the camera but I will take photos this Saturday, or Jo will shout!
Morning,Poor kid. How was your weekend. I finished that short story I started on Friday, ended up with 4688 words. Not bad for me - lol. I bet Sophie had the best time at the weekend.
Darkangel wrote: "Morning,Poor kid. How was your weekend. I finished that short story I started on Friday, ended up with 4688 words. Not bad for me - lol. I bet Sophie had the best time at the weekend."
Yes, but she had a sore bum too, and she couldn't stop yawning. When I arrived to pick her up she said she needed to brush the horse before she could go. She wants to go early on Saturday to help with the horses, I may suggest she volunteers to help muck out the stables too. She thinks owning a horse is just riding it, she has to know what it really entails.
This week I am going to buy her a hat and some riding gloves and jodphurs and some new black boots, I will have to go over to Decathlon in Lorient the sport 2000 we have in town is expensive!
I am steaming away with chapter 3 and I changed the wording on the synopsis and bought in 3 surprise characters which will tie in with the blondes!
How cool, I look forward to receiving it ;o)
That is a good idea about Sophie Volunteering, she would probably love it.
Darkangel wrote: "That is a good idea about Sophie Volunteering, she would probably love it."Now I had better trot along and wash the pots, have a shower and pop quickly into town thereby leaving the afternoon free to finish chapter 3! Claire gave it the big thumbs up, Jo said she will read the chapters, so intrigued is she. I asked her what she thought of 50 shades and she said exactly the same as me, way to much sex, she skipped most of the sex scenes in book two because they were boring (no pun intended) and if it hadn't been for hoping to find the story she wouldn't have bothered reading the third!
She has so much confidence in my ability she said I can do so much better, with my eyes shut and my hands tied behind my back!
Darkangel wrote: "That is a good idea about Sophie Volunteering, she would probably love it."Yep I think she would too she was a happy, tired little bunny Saturday night!
I am back in hell again today. Temp has phoned in sick, leaving me to cover their poxy consultant (who i quit working for 2yrs ago) - I want to scream!!!
Morning!Hey sarah! read the second chapter, much better than 50 shades I must say, the only thing at the beginning of the sgrt said about ignoring his inner voice, it reminds me too much of 50 shades....
Ps does that spray actually exist? ;)
Darkangel wrote: "I am back in hell again today. Temp has phoned in sick, leaving me to cover their poxy consultant (who i quit working for 2yrs ago) - I want to scream!!!"Then scream or go out and buy ex lax and leave it on your desk open minus the wrapper of course! That should sort him out!
I still haven't made the shower, which means I will have to go into town after I drop Sophie off at school! I got engrossed in chapter 3 I am halfway through it I think.

Morning Eva hows you?
Yes I'll think of a witty line before it goes out to hook an Agent don't worry it's in there as a prompt!
Yes go take a look on ebay there's stud 100 and super dragon too! Why do you ask:o)
Interesting!Might have to do an anne summers order pretty soon! Darkangel, have you any of that spray in stock?
Oh dear.... I won't ask, they all have rabbit syndrome some time or another though - none of them are exempt! I might have to join you on that one too! I haven't plucked up courage to try the play o yet (it's about 12 euros for a little bottle) and me being allergic to everything I'm a little reticent to pay out that kind of money and find it brings me out in a rash and then I have to go to the doctors and explain why!
you should write that as part of your story...It would be funny if the srgnt has to go to the doctors to find out he is allergic to something, how would he explain it to his wife???
Eva wrote: "you should write that as part of your story...It would be funny if the srgnt has to go to the doctors to find out he is allergic to something, how would he explain it to his wife???"What a good idea, but it would have to be just before one of her 'calendar days' how funny 'spotted dick'!
i would be funny if his itchy...can't stop moving.
LOL - I agree, how funny.Forgive me if I am away for quite a while today - quite manic here in the office.

Yes I already penned something in on the things and stuff ideas page I keep open when I write. Sometimes I write 2 versons of the same scenario and I put the one I don't use in there to keep for another time! Rather than wasting a good quote!
Lol we thought you' gone to telephone mum to ask her to firk around in your anne summers stuff to see if you had the delay spray!
No I don't have any, but I have used it - lol
Darkangel wrote: "No I don't have any, but I have used it - lol"And? Does it work? Tell all! Like I said to Eva they all have the rabbit button! Sophie is munching her way through Chinese style ribs and sauce beefburger and rice! Left over meat from the barbecue on Saturday!
Morning Will be on and off till kids r at school
