My copy was waiting for me when I got home too.
It was good to see a number of TB's mentioned this month.
Come on declare yourselves...
On the same day the mag arrived I got an email from a publisher I'd given up on aying they are interested in my zombie novel set in Scotland. Now have my fingers crossed.
Jenthom, as a Scottish lass, I'd love to know where your novel is set in Scotland! :)
How did you find writing in authentic Scottish dialogue? I've just submitted to a comp calling for entrants to write in the local dialect of Doric (I'm from Aberdeen). Although I'm used to switching it on and off in speech, it was a whole new ball game writing it down! An enjoyable challenge though, with more than a little spelling help from a Doric book picked up in Waterstones. :)
Before, when I tried to write in American English that nobody really talks and most books seem to be written in the book was very flat. Changing it to authentic dialogue immediatelt lifted the text and gave it energy. Here's hoping I get a yes:)
Fabulous news about the zombie novel Jen - I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.
Love it. ;)
I'm afraid I'd probably be the same with writing in authentic Scottish dialogue as I was with Doric - checking spelling all the way. I can talk the talk, no problem - but getting it down on paper is a whole new ball game (maybe it's just me and ma heid. :))
Wishing you all the best. I hope you get that yes! :)
I'm a Lanarkshire and Glasgow and now Ayrshire hybrid. But I used to be a Dundee United season ticket holder so picked up words there too like peh for pie:)
If the publisher does take it I am going to dress up as a zombie at the book signing and lunge at people when they ask me to sign a copy:)
I wonder who the fourth person is.
Well done, Baggy, on being published in the other magazine (I dare not speak its name). :)
Mind the trap.
