Thanks everybody - this is amazing stuff! Kerry - your comments are very kind and positive, propelling to rewrite something stronger and much better; Tinkerdan - I agree there needs to be more tension and I really like the idea of the guillotine as a way to achieve that, thanks...

Thanks all for looking and commenting on this for me. :-) I've rewritten and changed this first scene so many times I've lost count. Truthfully I've probably written better beginnings for this, sometimes I wonder if I should return to the very first one! Anyway thanks Phyrebrat, I like your...

So I just can't seem to start my WIP. The agents always say its not interesting enough, so I keep rewriting. This is my most recent attempt. I value anyone's comments - good or bad :-) p.s. it hasn't been beta read so there could be grammer errors. Chapter 1 It was a vertical glass-like sheet...

Unfortunately Abernovo broke his knee cap and has been on crutches for 6 weeks now - he doesn't like to complain so probably didn't mention it, so rest assured your memory is probably fine ;) As for the gurning my daughter can already lick her nose - they're just warming up to it :)

Gurning competition! :)

Abernovo having a sit down in the sun, still on crutches - poor guy :(

If you collect books I guess it makes sense to buy them. But if you're like me (lived in 28 houses so far) books are not an option - my back just isn't up to lugging them from place to place. Besides I just love having all my books in one place where I can access them whenever I like. Also I...

I had the TMNT transfer tattoos all over my arms when I was a kid. :) Not so sure I would go to see the movie though - sort of moved past that stage. My five year old daughter just loves the Disney princesses and all things pink...her personal choice...sorry mouse.

Well certainly different to the usual MLP I watch with my daughter ....heh heh thank for sharing this Starbeast :-)

I was thinking perhaps they should meet as children, he saved her when she fell down a hole or perhaps she was attacked by a wolf or something (or maybe she saved him) and consequently they became best friends in secret and swore a pact to always protect one another. Then as adults the deer is...

I always remember Catwoman's invitation of 'Would you like to come in for some milk and cookies' when trying to entice batman back to her place. It never worked. :) hmmm...I'm with you there Hope. Catfight? :p

I don't write anything down until I have the story fully formed in my head. I play around twisting it, shaping, evolving it, rather like a long complicated daydream. This way if feels more fluid, nothing's fixed. When I start writing it down I fill in all the detail and it will quite literally...

I like the website and l particularly like the fact your fees are upfront and transparent! :)

I think she's pretty busy at the moment. It says on her website she's not replying to emails until after January. :)

I've only been on the Chrons site for 3 months but have found people to be so helpful here. I've learnt so much already, and regularly to swops with others now. Once you have your 30 posts put something on the critique board and take it from there. :)

Thanks for the references Toby. I will look into these. I too am fascinated with how ideas in science fiction can be linked to the world we live in today. The Utopian vision in the early 1900's was informed by people from many different disciplines such as writers, artists, architects and...

So I wanted to discuss the relevance of considering the wider issues that face our society today (for e.g. climate change) in SFF novels. I’m hoping people here will have authors they wish to discuss, but I’ll kickstart with my hero ‘Ebanezer Howard’. I realise Howard isn’t a fiction author...

Heading out with Alchemist to Hop Poles now - yea! I will try to take some piccies!

But after your meal and your nap in the day - you could come out and play, play, play!! Sorry I can't seem to stop rhyming :D (I'm back to the playroom)

Me, me, me! What time? And are their plans for Friday night?
