Just a member, no more group hosting
Just as the title says, I’d like to be just a member for awhile, no more group hosting.
There are host vacancies now in the Short Stories Group and BloodRed the Vampire Group, but if you’re interested, you’ll need to contact the remaining hosts, not me.
Help needed for a RB writer!
One of our RB writers, Gayla Drummond, is in the midst of a family crisis and is trying to fundraise to be able to afford to visit her seriously ill mother.
I’m sure many of you will know her wonderful writing, and if not, visit her site, you’ll be glad you did!
Any eBooks bought from her site will help her to travel, and you’ll be buying a story well worth reading.

NaNoWriMo success!!
I got there in the end! A completed 50,000 word story (well, completed in the sense that I passed 50k words, not as in the story is finished yet, LOL!)
It’ll probably end up 80k, maybe, and I hope to use my chrissy holiday time to finish it and then get started on some editing. But I’ve got some other writing projects to get into as well now. A month worth of ideas that I’ve sa…

The Eve of NaNoWriMo
Or, ‘the writing challenge that ate my soul’.
National Novel Writing Month is almost on us! I’ve been convinced that it’ll be a really excellent experience to write 50,000 words in November. I’m also thinking it could be something of a nightmare, LOL!
So plot lines are sort of thought of, characters built (damn, still need to finalise names!) and nerves frayed.

I’ve got an excerpt still here on RB, as I’d added it here for a brief visit originally. I’d had the story rejected for publication by ASIM (maaaybe aimed too high for a first outing…), so asked Kate for some edi…
