editing done !!

finally... after two weeks of hard slogging, a numb bum and many, many hours...have finished editing The Bonding.
 :)
Just uploaded it to Kindle and should be up and running in next 12 hours.

I was quite shocked while I was painstakingly re-reading and checking for punctuation mistakes /spelling mistakes, how many there were !!

Sorry to all who have brought before update.
I'm not sure why, but I think as you write, you write it down and when you check it, it is so fresh in your mind,putting down what you want to say and you miss parts, because your reading it in your head how you think it should be.

Now, really itching to have a look at book two now, Bonded to see if it needs looking at, I'm sure it does.
But must try to finish Eternal first as it is half completed,
and I have a exam next month on 20th Century Literature, so I need to study too.
Actually a little more than worried about exam as it is for 3 hours and must be hand written, and as you can tell my spellings are awful !!!!

Please follow me on twitter @ ursulajardine1 or on facebook, I'd love to hear from you, and get your feed back, questions about the books.

new character?

Today I have been pondering whether I need to inject a new character in to the story?
It hasn't had anyone new in it for a while, and in fact we've lost a few along the way.

Names?
Ideas?

book coming along

I have managed to write a little in the evenings after work, which is quite a shock, I honestly thought I wouldn't be able too, with work, OU and general stuff. But have managed to do a bit.
Its a bit tense in the book at the mo, there are a few eruptions in the world of The Bonding.

Have asked on Face book what readers favourite characters are and is there any questions they would like to ask?
Wonder if I will get a reply?

Okay only a little entry today :)

Day off

For the first day in a week had a day off writing.

Tabbitha, my youngest had a operation yesterday (wisdom tooth removal) and so been a couple of stressful days.
Tried writing the wedding scene when she was down for op, but there was something uninspiring about sitting on a hard hospital chair in a cramped cubile on the ward, waiting. Whatever it was, I just couldnt write, nothing was coming...Strange for me !! Anyway have let myself have a day off and moved onto uni stuff today, and have submitted the essay that I have been working on over the last month, so a good productive day in some ways.

I really want to make this wedding beautiful, I have loads of ideas, is just getting them onto the paper with out waffling !!! I've invisaged honey suckle and the smellof vanila in the air...

new book

Have been working extremely hard on the new book. Hit 81 A4 pages today :)
Which is more in book pages.
I feel really excited about it, it is flowing well and there are a few bits I'm feeling so proud of already lol.
Wanna share !!!! But must resist, I don't want to spoil the story line and there quite a few surprises in this one!!

One thing I will let you in on is Erin's and James wedding, I've just reached the day and its SO exciting :) love a good wedding, its almost like planning one, thinking of colours and what dress the bride will wear etc. I feel that its fantastic they have managed to come together after all this time and Erin is going to make a honest man of him :)

OK...sneak peek at the dress....

Eternal:
'Lily fastened the last pearl button following her spine, on the back of Erin’s bodice, she looked amazing. The dress was a plain, cream bodice with puffed sheer sleeves which gathered at the forearm ending in a long cuff which had matching pearl buttons. The skirt was a fluted affair, in chiffon which moved around her as she walked, it was both simple and elegant.'

first draft, so will probably end up a little more finished, but enjoy xxx

FB idea

I have decided to post little snippets form the books on face book page.
Its quite hard to pick some without giving story away !
But I thought might draw people's interest.
reading a little of Bonded, made me wanna write!!!
I can't wait for this last two essays for uni, then I will be happy.

facebook

I feel so chuffed, I've had a few people who have read the books comment on my face book page :)

thank you guys xxx

Its a really weird feeling, I mean I hoped someone, somewhere would like the books , even enjoy them, but you never really know if any one will.
Then when you read someone liked them it is such a warm feeling, like 'wow' its fantastic.
wish I had more time though to write, I'm on my last two assignments for uni then defiantly 'wrting time' as I re read revision material for the June exam then full on author mode will hit lol
I love that, when I think, dream and imagine the world of the bonding, scribbling down little ideas throughout the day, waking up at night, after just imagining a conversation in my head with the characters...perfect !

p.s. Just been chilling out today reading a little of Fallen by Lauren Kate...love that book.
