Amazing flow

I took advantage of the extra hour in bed today by writing- have been up for a few hours no and the flow is so good.
Hopes gift just came to me in the story, wrote its self in while I was writing a scene and it is perfect. She's just found out hell hounds exist :-)

Love writing when it comes naturally and you can find time to write.

Apart for that plan today is to buy some slippers my feet are freezing lol

Free book

Did a free weekend promotional for the bonding and even though I don't really have any means to advertise I managed to give away just under 400 in USA and almost 300 in uk. So that's pretty cool.

Writing

Have been able to do an amazing amount of writing this week- and it's half term next week yay!
To me that's quality writing time as TMA for uni has gone and so I have a week of hope ;-)
Very exciting though have been a little naughty and just writing from the flow from my brain rather than using he plan!

Have already messed up date etc but will sort out, there is something quite liberating when writing as you come up with it.

Anyway two days of work left and then I will be a busy bee :-)


Ooo and have brought in a new guy Jamie stapler Lol may be another live interest - I just stuck on name generator and that's what came up lol I may have to change it.

editing The Bonding

well been working all afternoon and hours later have managed to do 59 pages.
I'm Happy with that.
Its slow going because I have to read everyword and check the tenses, grammer, spellings missed words etc.
I admit there are quite a lot of changes and its a slow business.
but hopefully by next weekend it will be ready to go up, if I can get enough time to do it!

latest review and why I'm re-editing

4.0 out of 5 stars Fab read, but lots of small errors, 7 Oct 2012


Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)

This review is from: The Bonding (The Bonding series) (Kindle Edition)
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the plot was exciting and unexpected and I was hooked by all the magic and love from the very first page. It is an intriguing idea - the bonding of 2 perfect people for all eternity, to make an amazingly powerful pair - but a very daunting one for a young and confused teenager like Lily to face.

In this book we follow the early lives of Lily and Carne; their perfect marriage, the mesmerising bonding, and the very harsh reality of it all. There were many extreme twists and turns in the plot which caught me off guard completely and left me gob-smacked; resulting in a very exciting and enjoyable read. Also, I felt a great connection with the characters and now love them to bits.

As much as I loved this story, I was fairly annoyed at the vast amount of typos and spellings & punctuation mistakes. Most of the time they were just small mistakes: 'off' instead of 'of', missing speech comas, etc. but they were so many on almost every page and often left me confused and having to re-read the page so I could understand it properly.

Judging on purely the story, I'd say this book was faultless. It was exciting and kept me interested; it was unique and interesting and the characters were simply amazing. However, this book wasn't faultless as it had so many typos and for me that kind-of ruined the whole effect in places.

Nevertheless, this is an inspiring, mind-blowing read full of passion, love, hatred and magic and I would recommend it to all.

okay...

Thats it...

am dropping Hope, dropping Endless for the moment and...


Looking at The Bonding, going to try sorting out grammer / spellings etc.

wish me luck as I dive in lol
