Wenchy's confessions and revelations thread. You read it here first! happy088
-
How on earth does me telling you what I wanted to be when I grew up translate into "my life with Mr Wench"?
-
Being an author has to start somwehere, and authors must write from their experience.
OK. We could do
Tat: a user's guide
IKEA: How to survive it
etc.
-
One has already started in numerous places.
-
But are they the right places?
-
Some publishers seem to think so. Although it keeps falling through.

shutup:
-
Think I need an agent. That was what was suggested last time.

My name is Bond, James Bond spider:

I'm sure he would be more than adequate.

That's been suggested to me too.

You are basely thinking of swimming trunks, I can just tell Wench.
Bad Wench noooo:

Get a copy of the latest Writers Handbook and read it first. An agent is certainly a good plan but if, for example, you want to write for Mills and Boon (no that is not an insult, they pay bloody well) they will not entertain anything submitted by an agent. They will, however send you a set of criterea by which they decide who to publish and who not. It depends what you are writing and where you see your market. I have a feeling we have had this conversation elsewhere (pos PM) some time ago. The Writers Handbook tells all.
I write, I publish, I edit. SWWLTBO teaches "Creative Writing" ~ Any help we can give is yours.
-
We have indeed had this conversation before! ;) Mills and Boon is fast becoming an option so I may write to them and ask them for guidelines.
Think the problem is I go at it in fits ands starts. I'll do nothing about it for years then spend six months doing writting, polishing and sending. I really need to make an effort at doing something proper about it. Might need to wait till I have some proper time off though.

You could base your first booook on the Pastis and Miss D saga razz:

What the longings of an unrleated indvidual for two people to fall in love so he can intefere with their lives? rubschin:

A babby is called for!
-
Banghead
After two children my ex-wife announced that if I wanted a "babby" I could bloody well have it as she wasn't going to.
It would seem to me that someone we all hold dear may be on the verge of saying something similar.

We have gerls, like
We need a cat, perhaps rubschin:
And a BABBY cloud9:
Mr Wench is home for the weekend. Get bizzy, like eyes:
-
You'd lose your regulars, definately the dog and probably the bear as well.
-
noooo: Nothing worse than screaming kids (and parents)
Especially those sitting behind you on a four and half hour flight, then they start to kick the back of the seat cloud9:
Then they are sick2:
Love it

You'd lose your regulars, definately the dog and probably the bear as well.
And the Barman... evil:
