General Chat

I always fancied writing a historical type novel but to be honest that sort of story involves a lot of research because you have to have the background historical and geographical facts righ. If you read the foreward in many novels you will see thanks to all sorts of people who have helped with that sort of background so I wonder if it is something you do when you are more established.

I do have a short (about 3000 words I think) story that I have written but it is a bit Woman's weekly. I like it but it is a very gentle story. I will maybe pluck up courage and send it out but not sure.

Go on Ann be tempted, I like gentle, can be very poignant. I'd love to read it.

Ooo Jen, I read it last night, I'll send you my thoughts later on.

Ann, do send it, I'd love to read it. Mine's a bit 'People's Friend', but that was intentional.

I'll look forward to reading it.

Afternoon all. have just sent you an email re your 2nd instalment, Jen, thank you:-) Just got in and no time to write today as yet. I think I shall occasionally need a gentle kick up the bottom to get me going again! I run out of steam so fast...lol... hope you are all scribbling happily and productively:-) BCXX

Jen did I have the second instalment? I just had one e mail with 1 and 2 on it. was that both instalments in one? Don't want to miss anything.

OK TW will send it to you.

Just got back after a strange experience...see chat... a bit shaky lol...

Hi there Jill , I am not too well today although better than yesterday, so would you please let anyone who is in the writers club know?
I have had a headache for 3 days, got too bad to do anything yesterday

It is still there and I am useless just now.
Will get back to all of you perhaps tomorrow.
Thank you.
Deanna XX

Sorry to hear that Deanna, I hope you will feel better soon. Impossible to do anything with a headache around isn't it? Maybe it is the weather.

Hope you feel better soon Deanna :)) take care xx

I blame that Jill lol, I am now 'seeing' stories and poems everywhere... and as for notebooks..they are taking over the house lol

xx

Deanna, get it checked out if it's still there tomorrow hun. My OH has had a stroke and sometimes gets some nasty headaches, four years later! It could just be an after-effect but all the same, get it checked.

Ann, I've sent my comments back to you...

I've also sent a short story of mine round, written about a year ago. I prepared it and adjusted it for submission to My Weekly Fiction Feast, then saw Della Galton had written a similar story, though the object was different, it was so similar I decided against submission for fear of an accusation of plagiarism.

Teresa received and acted upon and subsequently sent out to all.

Thank you for yours, I have replied and yes I liked it.

Have replied Teresa !

I've sent round another piece , just shout when you get fed up! xx

Haven't got it Rose.....*sobs*

Ann, have replied to you too!
Rose I will read yours a little later as I will get confused reading too many pieces too close together lol.I need a clear head!!!!!!

oops now you have Teresa :)

Got it, read it, replied. :-)
