The other day I submitted a novel synopsis to Penguin. They have had an open submission for the September-October period. As is typical of me I waited to the last moment to submit but it is now done.
I must thank dad for telling me about it, and oddly not the university, and thank mum for spending two hours going over the work with me!
On another subject the results to the Bridport prize are being announced this month. As I haven't been contacted I shall submit that story, called Itchy, to a magazine. If I'm successful I'll post the information hear. Unfortunately I can't upload it now because magazines often ask for exclusivity.
Moving on...
I'm not so good at the writing and posting in one go thing. However I'm sure my reader would like more regular posts - and more interesting posts but you can't expect miracles!
So I will try my best to post once a week from now on, we'll see how long that goes on for, and make it interesting.
Recently I've been writing a script with a race called Stegoraptors. I used this name, rather than Griptogoday, which was the original, as it is more easily pronounced. Also it has the advantage of 'realism' because after all we can't speak dog! The problem it creates is that how in dialogue do you refer to them. Or do you just give them random human names like Shepard, Stargate Atlantis, does for the Wraith.
