Hi everyone...
It's been a while since my last blog and there are a few reasons for that. One is that I've been having major issues with internet connectivity and hardware. My laptop actually crashed two days ago - while I was in the middle of writing! But that's been sorted now. My lovely husband got me a very early Christmas present in the form of a brand new laptop - in red! :) Gotta love him. He's equally as keen about my writing as I am.
Then there's the bit about the actual writing. I've started on my second novel in The Ternion Series and am about 22 000 words in. I've received some feedback from a publisher regarding the first novel, and I'm still deciding what to do about that. I wrote my very first horror story (well, attempted at least) and entered it as part of the SA Horrorfest. The writing group to which I belong has decided to do an Anthology, which we're all super excited about! The theme is 'Storm,' and we're hoping to launch it mid-2014, so watch this space. So I've been busy on that as well.
I'm also in the middle of doing a rewrite / edit on the very first novella I ever wrote at the age of 17, called 'Dead-End Dreams.' I am hoping to get this online within the next few months. And then, last, but not least, I was privileged to have written a guest blog for Linze Brandon on Time Management in the life of a writer. Please go check it out at this link: http://linzebrandon.blogspot.com/2013/09/guest-post-time-management-by-carmen.html
So, as you can see, I've been quiet for good reason. Sorry for neglecting you!
I hope to be back soon :)
