Thank you for stopping by!
If you are looking for my current stuff, I've moved back home to Wordpress.
I testdrove Blogger for a while, but I'm far more at home in my old  WP blog.
(Though I do miss this beautiful transparency thing Blogger has perfected... *sigh*)

Feel free to pop over and say hi!
I wouldn't want to miss your visit or comments. :)

Love,
Di

Maybe I shouldn't be doing this...


So here's where I'm at... I've written my first novel and I think its not too shabby. I've been querying agents, carefully checking their wishlists before hitting send. So far I've had no nibbles.

(Warning - you may get the urge to slap your forehead at this point.) Every scrap of advice I've read concerning getting your book published has said the same thing over and over - never start your book with the main character waking up. Take a wild guess how my book starts. Yip. Sad hey?

Now here's the thing...
I have valid reasons for making Rebecca wake up on page one. And they are all sound. Do any of the agents I've queried agree? Apparently NOT. I truly believed that my manuscript was unique, and that any agent worth their salt would be able to tell that from the get-go inspite of the glorious rule-breaking clanger.

So I'm thinking I should probably have a go at re-writing my opening scene.
I'll let you know how things turn out.

What rules have you broken lately... and, most importantly, did you get away with it?

I'm making a shift


Hey Bloggers,
I've been happily (though somewhat erratically) blogging over at Wordpress for a while now. I've hit a spot of bother though... they don't do Google friend connect. And I kinda like the idea of Google friend connect...

So I'm going to shimmy on over here and see if you lot are nice neighbours. :)

I'd love to meet you, feel free to pop in and say hi.

Also... for the sake of feeling at home, I'll be moving some of my favourite old posts from the old neighbourhood over here. Just in case they seem a little out of season.

Looking forward to connecting with you.
