Fighting Talk

Noticing how slow you are to go to the polls dear readers, my WIPs wish to state their arguments for publication one last time before voting ends.  So here they are, speaking for themselves. When you've made up your mind please cast your vote in the poll in the sidebar.



Hi there
My name is THE WITCH ADOPTION PROJECT and I'm a WIP sitting in a folder on Rae's laptop. I want more out of life. I don't want to stay a draft forever more. I want to be published.

So I'm appealing to you dear followers to support my cause and vote for me. Yes I'm young. Yes I'm precocious. But age is only good for wine and cheese. I'm neither.
The rest is now up to you. You know what you have to do.



So folks
The young upstart makes some interesting comments but I'd like to stop you in your tracks. What you want to be doing is voting for me.

It's simple really, I'm the final instalment in a trilogy so you know that means I'm going to be one heck of a read. Besides, I'm SciFi and that cheeky young thing is merely Fantasy. We all know I'm the better genre. So get those voting fingers going. You know it's the right thing to do.

    On my facebook page WHEN RAINBOWS DARE is currently in the lead by only 7 votes so if you want the precocious little upstart to win you'd better vote for her folks.

    The WIPs are really duking it out right now. The WITCH ADOPTION PROJECT has jumped into the lead on my facebook page. She currently has 214 votes while WHEN RAINBOWS DARE is lagging behind with only 209. I wonder what the voting count will be by the end of the day.

    The cheeky young thing is currently in the lead by 13 points on my facebook page. If you're a SciFi fan you'd better start voting for WHEN RAINBOWS DARES before it's too late.

    On my facebook page the young pretender is still in the lead with 316 vote and the Scifi teenager lagging behind at 292. But this thing's not over till it's over. There are still 13 days of voting time left. Let those fingers do the talking folks!

    As of this morning Little Miss Fantasy Thang is 31 votes ahead of young Mr Scifi. If you're a lover of scifi you'd better get those voting fingers working a lot harder than they currently are or fantasy's gonna walk it to the printers. You've got till the end of Feb to make your mark you Scifi lovers.

Guest Post: Creative Recharge

Lindsay Bamfield started writing fiction about 10 years ago. She has written a number of short stories and flash fiction pieces and has been published in Greenacre Writers Anthology , Voices from the Web 2012, The Best of Café Lit 2012, Mslexia, Writers’ News and Writing Magazine.  She has won prizes in Writers’ News , Writing Magazine and Words with Jam competitions and has been shortlisted in others. She is currently re-working her first novel with advice from an editor and has a second novel on the back-burner.  How do I recharge my writing batteries? I’m not sure I’m the right person to answer this as my batteries are still somewhat depleted after illness and debilitating treatment, but my writing activity, although still less than ideal has bounced back to some extent. It was only after being ill that I understood just how much energy writing requires. Exhaustion does not engender creativity. After a frustrating dry-spell when I wanted to writ...

Why I love living in Herne Hill

While chatting about current reads with my friend Bev, she mentioned how much she enjoyed reading Bill Bryson’s The Road to Little Dribbling .   And how too it had made her think about the reasons she loves living in the UK.   So, considering it a blog worthy idea, I asked her to write a guest post (to feature later this month). Now however, it’s my turn. My residency in the UK was totally unplanned.  Back in 1987 my parents and I were all set to move to Canada where two aunts and an uncle live.  But the Canadians decided not to grant us entry so hey presto, lucky old Britain got us instead. After our arrival we lived in a variety of areas: Edgware, Arsenal, Fulham and finally Herne Hill.  But it is most definitely Herne Hill where I find I want to stay.  When I’m on my travels it’s the place I get homesick for if things are not going according to plan on my journey. And why exactly is that? ONE I have 4, yes 4 parks in my...

#Amreading

So, it’s six months into this crazy Goodreads 100 book challenge I set myself and I’m happy to report that I'm now two books ahead.  This is largely due to the fact I’ve also been reading children’s books at breakfast.  Without this saving grace I believe I’d be whimpering in shame at this point.  “But is this reading of children’s books thing allowed?” I hear you all asking. The simple answer to that is: YES As I work with children, primarily instructing them on how to improve their creative writing, it is only fitting that I check out the books deemed to be totally read WORTHY by the kids and also by those who reckon they’re in the know. It will come as no great shock to you that I have disagreed with the Know-It-Alls from time to time but NEVER with the kids. However, this post is not about that.  What I would like to do now is give you a run down of the 5 books I’ve found most enjoyable thus far.  You would assume there’d be at ...
