Adventure 189 ~ Write A Faerie Story [1]
After I interviewed Jackie yesterday, she asked me what my next adventure would be. I couldn’t answer her as I don’t have an adventure plan ~ I just wait for the next impulse to arrive! This morning I woke up with the coat-tails of a faerie story to hang on to. I could say that I have no idea where it came from….

Adventure 148 ~ Diary Of A Romantic Novelist [Day 27]
Well, the results of the editorial jury are now in and for today’s adventure, I spent a bit of time reading through all the feedback and deciding how I would make use of it.
I feel as if I’m standing on a threshold today ~ a new point of departure 🙂 . By the way, the running adventure I described in today’s video actually happened in 2010. You can read all about it here.

Adventure 144 ~ Diary Of A Romantic Novelist [Day 26]
Today I have two adventures to tell you about! Last night I had a really helpful chat with writing coach, and published author, Katherine Bolton. She helped me to make a final decision about whether the Mills & Boon route was right for me, and she gave me some top tips about how to find the right publisher. You can find links to the book and website I mention in todays video here [ Writers’ And Artist’s Yearbook] Â and here [Romantic Novelists’ Association.]
Today, I took some of Katherine’s advice . I also talked to a complete stranger about my book and their response was rather promising 🙂 .

Adventures 137 – 139 ~ Diary Of A Romantic Novelist [Days 19-21]
Over the last three days, I’ve enjoyed the gifts of dissociation, gained insight into my own need for internal peace and quiet, and gained a greater understanding of  the workings of the main female character . More importantly, the main female character has now made it up to Inverness (she was stranded in Peterborough for rather a long time!) The big “meet” is about to take place 🙂 .
Today’s video is an amalgamation of the last 3 days of writing adventures ~

Adventures 134 – 136 ~ Diary Of A Romantic Novelist [Days 16-18]
In the last three days of my romantic fiction writing adventure, I have  :
- Had another hefty dose of writers’ doubt
- Learned about the power of dialogue
- Realised that there is real benefit in slowing right down
- Explored the notion of attachment
Today’s film is an amalgamation of the last three entries to my video diary.

Adventures 130 – 133 ~ Diary Of A Romantic Novelist [Days 12 – 15]
In the last 4 days of my romantic fiction writing adventure, I have discovered that if you write for long enough, you eventually bump into yourself! Today’s video, which merges the last 4 video diary entries, sees me ~
Receiving a direct personal message
Beginning to experience creative writing as a rapid route to personal discovery
Stumbling across a powerful and “moving” literary device 🙂
Outlining the entire plot of my book
I’ve been busy 😉
I am just going outside and I may be some time.
