about me

Like most people here, I guess, I've been writing in one format or another since I was way young. Have only recently discovered 'structure', 'character' and 'plot arc' whilst trying my hand at sceenplays (my first stab had a full read from BBCWritersroom - top 10% of material sent to them!).
Stories were always my first love, though, so that is to what I have returned.

favourite books

The Arthur novels (The Warlord Series) by Bernard Cornwell
Anything by the Great Terry Pratchett

Hi Al, Returned read as promised First thing that grabbed me was the short sentences in the prologue. For me it was a bit too much - bang, bang, bang. Maybe that was what you were after, but it felt you were too eager to present info. I'm not a huge fan of prologues and as this one is so short, I... view book

Hi Shilo, Your book has eventually made its way to the top of my WL. Notes on Chapter 1: - The opening paragraph is the most important in the book, and you need to make a clean start. You've used the words 'track practice' twice in the first sentence. Repitition like this stands out like a sore t... view book

Hi Showgirl, Achilles 42 has eventually made its way to the top of my WL. Chapter 1 notes: - I'm not sure you need an exclamation mark so soon. It's gone quiet. So?
