Errr entry four. I kinda went all out over the last three days and i finished Woman's Game 1: Book of Genesis. Wrote just under 6000 words in 3 days... I have a serious case of the Nephys. And the word count comes round at 29691. I'm amazed. 691 words more than i expected. I need to develop the plot (aka rewrite the plot) of Book 2 in order to completely round the story up and the dreaded plot holes, which relates to my question this week. I will definately have this with Cia before the end of the week Hope you enjoy your gift dear! Just amazed at myself and how productive i've been since setting up this blog. <3 for GA Blog System <3 Word Increase Since Last Time: 5962 Question Plot holes are funny little buggers. As an author, how do you handle them? What I mean is, when you spot them in previously published chapters how do you develop around them or does it just fuel you to write more of that particular story? And as a reader, how do you react when you find them in stories?

My brother actually has one of those and its very good for like business and stuff I wouldn't go for a tablet but for a tablet/netbook cuz they are the most flexible

Happy Birthday

Wow What a week I've produced a fair bit in the last week. I've focused on The Woman's Game this week and i've completed just over 2 chapters. I've gone from 18089 to 23729 which was fantastic and I am about to finish Chapter 10 which is way more than i predicted that I would have created. I may have this with Cia before the end of July Frosty is still looking at Angel for me So no writing on that one No questions this week just happy about having produced nearly 6000 words Cannot wait to get posting more Word Increase Since Last Time: 5640

Exercise One: Write a Drabble (100 Word Story) Joey walked along the crowded street and wished for a better life… He had always been moderated by others, kept in check; for you see he came from a child’s correctional facility. When he was a young child, he burnt down his children’s home and was sent straight into the correctional facility. But now he was 18 and he was sent out into the world. Well, not entirely. Just for a day of annual leave. Then he would meet the officer and they

Oh mark You have been through so much and you have come so far. Everyone is so proud of you. I'm surprised you built the confidence enough to be as open as you are with everyone You are part of my extended family also I feel close to everyone i speak to here. Even Lugh You are so emotional and are born to be you We can wait to see you Remember the next step is a big one so don't be afraid of falling... Hell if i didn't "fall" i would never had met my partner Just some food for thought

Favourite hero: Evey or V from V for Vendetta Favourite Villain: Magneto or Kingpin from Spiderman <3

Time for another entry This one will be an update but also a few questionsfor GA Authors or Members Update Well I'm now i'm officially halfway through with Woman's Game. I've gonefrom 16808 words to 18089. Very pleased with myself with that J The story is reallycontinuing and i'm really looking forward to getting Cia's thoughts on it Excellent editor and beta. Reccomend her to anyone J Can be harsh, butonly does it for the best Angel 3 hasn't gone up as much but i finished the chapter and i'm alsohalfway through with it as well. So that is brilliant. So 3 chapters done andi've gone from 10103 to 10822. A small increase but worth it.] I currently haveFrostina looking at the entire series for me and looking out for the dastardly little things called Plot Holes. And i'm going to do something different frommy norm. I'm going write the rest of the story, primarily based on what ismissing and what my Reader would like to see in it. I love the story and i havethe whole thing planned to the last word but i wanna see what the readers have to say! This links into one of my questions J Story Word Count Increase Since The 7th: 2000 Words Exactly Question Time 1) Have you ever loved astory that much, that have never wanted to end it? I mean Angel means alot to me. It was my first 'proper' series on GA andit means alot to quite a few people. The primary inspiration was Nephylim. Shetells such beautiful tales and the stories of her past lives are so fascinatingthat i had to change them into a story. 2) Leading on from that, Whatinspires you? I find people. What inspires you to write? Irepeat, people inspire me. If i see a story in the street or in my dreams. Theyare usually about real people or people that i have had described to me. Iguess thats why the majority of my stories are so character based. I know otherwriters such as Marzipan or Lugh get inspired by diagram. All i wantto know is how do you get fueled? 3) My final question, which is the hardest toanswer. How do you write a good fight scene? I have a bigfight scene coming up in both of my stories and i want to get it right becausei want to do each story justice. So thats it really for today's entry. Feel free toanswer my questions J Signing off for now John xx

The Short Story is much easier for me because i struggle to get the length because i lose myself in the writing and then get so confused i leave it

Well Hello Guys and welcome to my new blog I'm going to talk about my writing here and problems i encounter and how my word count is doing and that sort of thing. Any comments would be appreciated and stuff But i'm just going to start on a basic list of my stories and their current word counts and in future work from there Womans Game: Book of Genesis: 16808 - 8 Chapters So Far Angel 3 - 10103 - 3 Chapters So Far Fall Anthology - COMPLETE - Really need to submit it Winter Anthology - Idea Created. Just need to write it In Future i've got also the sequel to Womans Game: Book of Revelations Well in the last few weeks i've written around 26,000 words Amazing Quite proud of myself to be honest And then add on my writing classes (ones from lugh and one with novelwritingschool.com) and i'm pretty set

Now don't hate me sweetie but i need to tell you the truth. You really need to cut off the finanical dependancy that Lori has upon you. You can barely raise two people, let alone pay for an additional person. I really understand your need to mother her because you didnt have a mother but you need to allow her to live her own life. Wait for her to come along to you. Remember as life goes on (a bit of advice given to me by my brothers mother in law) when you move out of the parental home you become your own person. You live your own life. The parentals become a side step. People you visit sometimes and keep them happy. You need to try to become more of a side step. Do little steps here and there and you can do it Secondly, you need to delegate. Allow others to do things for you. At work, you are head of freaking department! You must be bloody good! So allow others to do the work and start supervising Remember Serious Nephy can be for work and let your freak flag fly at home And do take the hot water bottle into work Thirdly, you are such an awesome person and you don't need to change. You are such a brilliant mother to Efan and you are so strong for always thinking of him. You are one of the most amazing people i know. Never lose that. You are so protective and loving you wont ever know it. Please never lose that. Fourth, THINK OF YOURSELF!!! Take care of yourself. There is only one physical space in this life and if we don't take care of it, we can lose everything. And most importantly WE LOVE YOU. I cannot wait to meet you in August and tell you how amazing you are (even though i'll probably lose my words and go all shy ). Just remember, if you need help from anybody, we are only an email away! With so much love John xx

Exercise One: Write a 26-word story where every word begins with a different letter of the alphabet. Zeddy yelled periodically down the staircase about Barry’s curfew. Even Fern kept it rigidly. Lengthily, he nattered without getting much understanding. Quinn’s Vision just obliterated Xander. Exercise Two: Write a short story that includes each of the following: A black hat, A torn blanket, An angry librarian, A green sports car, A lonely girl, A happy young man, A silver watch, A crisp

I Agree If there isnt the passion there then why write? Writing is a combination of personal feelings, craft and a passion for creativity And you only have to look at Neph for the queen of creativity and then comsie with over 100 stories... Goes to show doesn't it?

Wonderful Principles bob I hope to use them when i have to make my major decisions in my life

Happy Escape from the Motherland

it was a good story I did like it You did feel so sorry for Eric I agree with Lacey

for me i find it really hard to concentrate so adding music to my writing time is near on impossible

Intriguing. Very intriguing. I like.

Wow What a powerful introduction I like it What is the shift? How do the magi work? Will we see more Magi later? So many questions to ask yet so many to be answered. Love it.

Congrats Bleu You are on the up despite your failures You can do anything you set your heart to

Nephy Darling you are awesome So glad you have a small little job to keep you going I think that suits you better than your previous job ^^ there's always a light at the end of the tunnel isnt there? And to go with mark, you could never be boring. You can never get boring simply because of how creative you are. I agree with Old Bob about the accupuncture thing that might work. Or have you tried meditation? that may work Ask your doctor again for something that might work and reduce the pain in the long term? You're awesome

Aww thanks for reading Tara Glad you liked it :)I love that air of mystery Next time, its even more mysterious so watch this space!

Exercise One: Read the following extract. Then with absolutely minimal additions or subtractions of fact and detail, rewrite it in a bitter style. No length requirement. Extract My paternal grandmother, Florence, was a stout, mercurial woman who handed me a present nearly every time I came into her sight, with the probable exceptions of my birthday and Christmas. She was not a great believer in special occasions. Or rather, she believed in them but saw no reason to be overly literal about

Congrats Dark
