I've forgotten what you do on here...help!!
Information
  • Are you a ...?
    Unpublished writer (so far)
    What genre do you primarily write in?
    General fiction
    Are your reading habits ...?
    Omnivorous
    And your all time favourite books? (You can change these at any time, by the way ...)
    Good grief...I didn't know this involved homework! 1. To Kill A Mockingbird 2. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo..(the whole trilogy counts as one I guess?) 3. The Shipping News 4. The Rotters Club 5. Lord Of The Rings 6. Any Ian Rankin Rebus books
    What are your working habits when you write?
    Perfectly balanced
    Are you the edit-every-sentence-ten-times type, or do you prefer to let rip?
    Ten times? Why so little?
    Your ultimate writing ambition?
    Well every first timer must put 'to be published here'...so I'll not upset the apple cart. I'm hopeless with a brush and shovel anyway.
    Your worst habit?
    Watching the number of characters get lower and lower here and having to re-write the damn thing. Ok....I can be a tad long winded.
    Your opinion on the books industry?
    Too much celebrity and hype, but good books still get through
    Where do you write?
    Home and work...nowhere outlandish. I do live in the frozen north tha knows.
    What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
    I own an art gallery. I play the guitar and sing in a 3 piece acoustic band, where I do a fair bit of song writing. No cats, just 2 dogs!

      Ali No that's not right at all. You float around on The Cloud thinking, talking and reading bits of writing but one never actually writes!

      Jill Well, hello Mr Mac~Stranger. Good for Gels and Geri. How is the positive response progressing? Don't drink coffee often. What else have you to offer? Something Lemony perhaps? JXX

      Jill OK that will suffice for now. Perhaps later we could share some Limonce liqueur? But not if you are working in shop and have to drive home....
