The Thrill of being a Writer

I have just finished writing an intense cliffhanger of an ending to my second Redcliffe novel Love Kills. It was amazing! Having finished editing a separate manuscript, I was thinking about what needed to be done on my current WIP. I had written the first draft of Love Kills, but was unhappy with the way I had finished it. There had to be more.

Well it seems that my muse agreed, and all day today, while doing my menial household chores, the story has unfolded…

It is my soul that you read; from the ink of my soul you see my heart. This is my second book, following my first book called The Burning Bush, which also is a book of poetry. You may ask why I have titled this book…

The Burning Bush (Poetry)

The Burning Bush is a book of poetry. It is a part of my heart, mind, spirit, body, and soul. I started writing this book three years ago. I was writing to pour out part of myself and to allow myself freedom. If we bottle ourselves up we shall surely die. I needed these words to pour out of me. This book is about my life…

Last week I launched my website to highlight my new book “To be a Pilot” >theagostiniteam.com< - I also made an announcement on Facebook, from which I received two commitments to buy, two I never knew you were an author, and several congratulations.

On Tuesday I went to a local writers…

New kid on the block

Hi All,

 

I guess I'm the new kid on the block, all be it a 55 year old. I had my first murder mystery novel FULL CIRCLE published last September. Hopefully, the first of many. I'm looking forward to speaking with everyone, and looking at the depth of skills and expertise on board, I'm looking forward to learning a great deal more about writing.

 

Here's a brief sysnopsis of FULL CIRCLE -

To write or not to write?

I really wanted to write today.  I had several good ideas (or so I thought) for my next novel, Visions of Mortality.  However, the sun was shining and it was 50 degrees (Jan. in North Idaho!!), so instead, Paul and I took our two pooches, Sydney and Pippin, for a walk along Lake Pend Oreille.  It was absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I went.  Now I can settle down and write for awhile...

A new idea

One of the reasons I've joined Authors.com is because Steve Norris, author of A Very English Revolution , has contacted me about a very clever idea.

Here's the idea - in order to boost rankings on Amazon (the book world's version of the Catholic Church - you do it their way or no way) - he's thought of a cunning…

The first blog is the worst...?

So, what to chat about on a new blog? In this instance writing... My favourite subject and something of a curse perhaps.

Is it me are writers often driven people who can't help themselves? Rarely are authors looking for fame - fortune perhaps - but not fame. We are just goaded by the people, scenes and plots that unravel inside our minds and if we don't do something with them, we will go mad. Or at least that's how it feels.

At the moment, I'm in the process of finishing book 4…

Update

  Obviously, i have not been on here in a long while. :/ I've mainly been doing school stuff, so I haven't really sat down and wrote. I'm working on a book with my friend, so I haven't totally ditched writing. The story, however, is in a notebook so I can't share right now.

   Recently I wrote an 8 page narrative for english. it involved my character Connor Carson. I think I'll send the document to my self from my school e-mail and post it on here, for you all to review. Considering i…

Active Voice and Passive Voice

Active and Passive Voice: When you are active, you do something. When you are passive, things happen to you. This is the same concept as the active and passive voice in sentences.

In the active voice, the subject performs the action described by the main verb. In the passive voice, the action…
