I look forward to reading it. After Red Editing Pen, that's my favourite section.
And mine.
I see two of my ultra-fave writers are featured, James Herbert and Jodie Picoult, but I haven't looked at the mag yet.
JUNE! Cripes...it can't be June already!

It's not that great tbh (the extract I mean) but then it's an extract of the prelude to our first book that we started a few years ago, put aside and then restarted properly last year. But, that said, we've never had anything of ours read and commented by someone so it's an experience in itself and as I say, some things to think about when we actually get to the redraft.
And then Missy pops up again, spouting off about stuff in a letter.
Nice to see some names that I recognise from TB with lots of encouraging words about their experiences. Thank you.
I've just dragged out the lap top and I'm going to look up some of the sites mentioned that are asking for submissions etc, then I'm going to try some of the writing tips, then I'm going to have a go at the workshops (Red Editing and so on), then I'm going to start an entry for one of the competitions, then I'm going to rewrite some of my older MS using advice given, then I'm going to go through todays paper and pick up some ideas, then I'm going to make sure that I do my 500 words for today, then I might just get an entry in OWC 200 words, then I'm going to....oh dear I think it's time for another Lemsip and a lie down to read the rest of the mag.
Aaaachooo, pass the tissues please.
Will be sadly missed, I've just started re-reading his books, just finished The Rats, such a great descriptive writer..
Good to see Talkbackers again this month.
Haven't had time to do more than take a quick glance at it yet.
Victoria, I need a lie down after reading about all your plans.
Get well soon
and please don't sneeze all over us :D
Yes indeed, well done.
Respect to Victoria for using her flu time as writing time! Will it be delirium-inspired?!
That just depends which word comes up in May's OWC!!!!!
My terminal flu has now settled on my chest so I sound like an old man on 60 a day! I think I need intravenous Lemsip and at least a bar of chocolate to help me get better. What do you think TBers?
Just my luck to have a sickie when the weather is so nice and a bank holiday weekend coming up.
Hey Missy! Wasn't sure how that can have happened, since all the labels are automatically generated, but it looks like you've added Missy as your title on the View Account page (http://www.writers-online.co.uk/My/Profile/ )! We've changed it back in the system to Miss now (but really, I guess you could put anything you want there!). I shall hereafter be receiving mags addressed to Jedi Webbo.
A well-written article, BB.
that's what happens when you do the A-Z Challenge while mid-rewrite - something has to go!
Well done to all the above-mentioned - I hope to get round to reading your contributions before Christmas.
Get better soon Victoria44
DB, yes, WM pay by cheque. And yes, from memory, I think I invoiced them.
I enjoyed your article, DeneBebbo!
Dene - please do send me an invoice. Sorry I didn't enlighten you about this on acceptance!
Good idea. i'm certain I must have spent quite a lot of time here since I started.
Let's call it £5,000, one for every year.
