I am talking to Disco!* <BR/><BR/>So anyway...As I was saying Disco my lovely, you can go on FB in your writer's persona not just as your real life identity (DJ Kirkby is not my real name) so that you can network and promote your writing with all the lovely publishers, agents and writers who also are on FB. <BR/><BR/>I am sure your fabulous mentor will back me up on this, networking on FB is good for shamless self promotion! Which you'd better get used to as a soon to be published author...<BR/><BR/>Oh and Nik? Great plug, love it!

But I fear it may be better than me. It's certainly a better dancer. And I don't know why damp and miserable weather, I think I just love the sound of the weather and good weather is frighteningly quiet.<BR/><BR/>DJ - No, I don't dare do facebook. We had all these horror stroies drummed into us whilst I was doing my teacher training. I'm safe with a blog I think - too many words for the kids to be interested.<BR/>And what does 'watching9987' mean? Well. You'll have to buy the book won't you :)<BR/>Hehe - Good plug eh :)watching9987https://www.blogger.com/profile/04148820693236838992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559333465075744310.post-87936254883453500442008-07-08T06:53:00.000+01:002008-07-08T06:53:00.000+01:00P.S. are you on Facebook?

Will it? Maybe it's just a way of getting into the character. <BR/><BR/>As my advice/comment isn't that helpful - I have an idea......ask disco kettle. I am sure he/she has learnt a lot from watching you at work.<BR/><BR/>Why damp and cold weather? And I want to know more about the miraculous escape. Please!

Well two and three go wll together but difficult to combine with number one.<BR/>Anyway.<BR/>I am reading: Naked Lunch, Slaughter House 5, H.P.Lovecraft collection of short stories and a Short History of Myth. - Doing a chapter of each on rotation.<BR/>I am writing: The dreams of one of my characters - not quite what you told me but it seemed like a good idea at the time.<BR/>I am drinking: Me and Disco Kettle are getting drunk, slowly and elegantly.<BR/>I'll let you know how I get on.<BR/>Thanks again :)watching9987https://www.blogger.com/profile/04148820693236838992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559333465075744310.post-30382327587005179032008-07-07T14:02:00.000+01:002008-07-07T14:02:00.000+01:00Quick - read lots and lots of other people's book...Quick - read lots and lots of other people's books!! As fast as you can. Then you can get back to writing again.<BR/><BR/>Or<BR/><BR/>write a scene/a short story from your character's childhood. It probably shouldn't have anything to do with the book you want to write. You can only use third person.<BR/><BR/>Or<BR/><BR/>have another coffee.
