Yes, been there. At Lumb Bank it was possible to have a writing ‘mid-week’. Starting on Monday September 26th and ending on Saturday October 1st I had another great stay at one of the houses of Arvon. A cozy house near Hebden Bridge. With a total of 13 authors, we were mentored by two writers.…
So there I am, sitting behind my laptop and on the right a firm espresso and on the left a printed version of the notes from the editor. Via 20books50k I came in contact with the wordfaery. I had still a lot of words to write before the planned check by her, but I managed…
My newest book that I started to write more than two years ago. Now on the market in a digital version. The story takes place in Canada in 1952. With gold as one of the major influencing products in the market. Bernard Bowers wants it, as he needs it to expand his company. The book…
Oh, how I struggle and get a headache in which genre to write. I started with a book about a director of a building company in Canada. The story takes place not a long time after WWII. Gold was as important back then as it is now. Will the antagonist have problems with the gold…
I’ve great fun reading/editing my book. After writing I left it alone for at least ten months. Sure, it was on my mind during that time, but only for a short while as I was writing another book (which I hope to publish also in 2021). That other book is ready for editing, but gets…
I can remember that I went to a writing course in England situated beautiful in Shropshire. Learned a lot from both Claire Fuller and Andrew Tailor. At that moment I had only finished one novella (1-way ticket to Mars). I sure didn’t put much effort in refining it once ready. I removed typos and odd…
Over the moon. Yes, I’m happy as I’ve done it another time. I’ve written another story. This time under the title ‘The Experiment’. It was not easy at the end as I didn’t have a plot. Learned lesson is that when I write an outline, how flimsy it might be, a plot is handy to…
Now with the virus still conducting that we should be staying at home, I have given in to a long wanted dream. As you know I’ve written a couple of stories and books. My dream is that the books will be available as audio books. I have extended my studio and invested in a professional…
One way or the other I had yesterday completely for my self. I had read in a book of Simon Haynes the option of writing in blocks of 500 words. I liked the idea and tried it yesterday. I did enjoy it very much. What is the recipe for this? Define the size of a…
It sometimes takes more than expected time, but then again the journey is sometimes better than the end station. I finished the first draft of my book that I’ve given the title ‘Driven by Gold’. A historic mistery. Now that I reached this station, I look ahead to stations further down the road like the…
