by Lottie 4 months agoHaha that's true there, I'd like to think I will never grow old and I will carry on forever running around risk free with my mum still cooking dinner for me :) Maybe I should join Peter Pan in Neverland, that would be fun! -
by Lottie 4 months agoI really enjoyed reading your work. I like your style of writing and the idea of introducing your main character as a baby before it grows older as I think this will show the reader the signifgance of the baby. I like how you have given them all different personalities, how the Lord is grumpy, and Jamie is more mellow. I think children will be able to connect with this very well :)

by Lottie 4 months agoI would be more than happy to read a bit of it, if you wished for someone's opinion to whom your book was aimed at :)

best of luck with it, it makes for good reading -
by Skylark 5 months agoHere's a link to a short story I did a year or so ago for a Cloud competition...
http://writing-community.writersworkshop.co.uk/forum/topic/4181
I've not got any of my main MS on the Cloud just now - and as it's currently being read by an agent, I'm giving it a wide berth in case the temptation to tinker takes over! -
by Skylark 5 months agoHi John, yes all true - and I look forward to reading more of yours as you've certainly got me intrigued :-)

by Georgia Girl 8 months agoHi John,
Good to see you back. Looking forward to reading your latest posting - though will have to find a moment between work and packing for holiday :-) -
by Jess L 9 months agoI haven't checked the forum in a while, is any of your work up there? I may be able to swing by and give some feedback later :) Good luck with the agent submissions. I won't lie, I hated doing it. Happily taking a break from submissions at the moment. Hope all goes well for you though.
