I’ve been busy

I’ve been a little invisible on my website. My head has been elsewhere: in my latest work in progress. But at last that project is at a point where I have handed it over to another for their thoughts and reactions. So I have returned to my little website with this quick check-in from me – to let you know I’m still around.

And I have to show you this…









It’s a tidy desk. Hooray! Well, tidy for me anyw

Steven O'Connor Hi everyone
I've written a post about Bowie dying. The post is about writing, but I'm also pretty cut up about the whole thing, as we all are, I'm sure.

Steven O'Connor *The Melbourne Writers’ Social Group*

I have published a post on my blog about this writers' group in Melbourne.

There are quite a few groups in Melbourne, and this is one I have recently become involved with. My hope is to let you know about groups I join in the UK too (when I get there) -- if they'll let me!

You can check it out here: http://stevenoconnorwriting.com/


Steven O'Connor *Meeting up … Down Under and Up Over*

I have a new post about a thing called Meetup. Do you know it? I'm using it to join writers' groups in London, for when I get there next month. If interested, you can find my post here: http://stevenoconnorwriting.com/


Steven O'Connor Hi everyone

I'm currently working hard on my draft novel called 'Beneath the Surface'. It’s about a 14-year old unwell boy who enters a fantasy world under his garden. And I'm sharing it chapter by chapter on the internet as I redraft it, hoping for your thoughts. I want to get this story right!

If you're interested, I'd love your feedback. Chapter 1 is now posted. My blogpost about it is here: http://stevenoconnorwriting.com/

Thanks!

Steven


Damian Cloud Hi Steven. Thanks and congratulations on being my first friend. I don't have a prize to give you, but I promise that Elemental will get a good and honest review from me.


Steven O'Connor I'd love you to check out this video of the artist Aaron Pocock creating the dragonbot from my book MonuMental. Aaron Pocock did this video off his own bat, and even performed the music.

It’s wonderful to see something from one’s imagination come alive on the page at the gifted hands of another. Here's the link: http://stevenoconnorwriting.com/creat...


Steven O'Connor I did a school presentation a few days ago that I am very happy about. In fact, I think it rates as my best. So I wrote a post about it and I'd like to share that with anyone who might be interested. Here's the link: http://stevenoconnorwriting.com/?p=345
