  1. The tile says it all, but I suppose I should add more... Wales is presently wet. I don't like it, the cat doesn't like it, and the rain seems never ending. I wouldn't mind if it was hot, but oh no - winter beckons: no naked frolicking rain dances under warm skies for me. If I had any thermal underwear I'd be in them. ...and now the beast wants to go out again. It seems, like Pooh bear, I have a cat with very little brain... soon to be a wet cat with very little brain. I'll leave the ennui and existential crisis for another post. Ave.
  2. 'The Algorithm Twerk' is a great title!
  3. So was I. Considering I'd just got it back from my wonderful red pen chap I was expecting Shakespeare. I think their algorithm needs some serious tweaking.
  4. Possibly not! I found a site called 'I Write Like' where you can: Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers. I tried various bits and got: Agatha Christie, Stephen King, Cory Doctorow, and Chuck Palahniuk. Yay! Famous in my own lunchtime!
  5. What might be fun, rather than a sequel, is an epistolary.
  6. 'hmmmmm' indeed. Lovely story, well concluded. Thank you, Cole.
  7. Have I mentioned Charter's and Caldicott?
  8. Enticing words? Horror, then, is definitely a genre I should pursue.
  9. Really? I bet you've changed your mind! It's not the dream to be having nowadays. Sure if you want to come to a country that's badly mismanaged by a raggedy, blond, old Etonian, Churchillian wannabee, then rock on over. However, given our appalling handling of Covid, it's more likely you'll be moving to the UK to die. Not to mention we're all starving and can't afford to live. We're doomed, laddie, doomed....
  10. Here's a link to Bookbub's LGBT section: https://www.bookbub.com/ebook-deals/lgbt-ebooks There are quite a few free books at present.
  11. Chapter 14... Noooooooooooooooooo!
  12. Flattery will get you everywhere, Cole!
  13. Read it? Really? It's called 'The Unit' and is loosely based around Afghanistan. It revolves around a Delta force unit of eight soldiers, The Black Mambas, who had four marines kidnapped under their noses. They have to get them back... It's published as PDF, EPUB, and MOBI (Kindle) here: https://novelinaday.com/the-unit Or, and I find this more interesting as you can more easily read the different versions of each chapter, here: http://gbrish.net/niadweb/2021
  14. It? IT! I'll have you know she's a she, and very well pampered and taken care of. Better looked after than I am, if I'm honest. As, so she tells me, is her right.
  15. Might I recommend Charter's and Caldicott. I might have already done this, but what with a memory like a sieve and an irate cat, please forgive me if I have.
  16. Done and dusted. Much fun was had by all!
  17. I'm very peeved @Cole Parker I think the following should come with a 'don't read this if you're hungry' warning! And this part just takes the biscuit! And the ending! It reminds me of Saturday morning kids' films, at the local cinema. They'd always play a part of a serial that meant you had to come back next week... Arghhhhh.
  18. ...and so, in less than an hour, I'm off for another insane bout of writing a novel in 24 hours. The cat's prepared - I've told her to help herself to food. I have beer and wine in the fridge and a tub of hummus for those urgent snack breaks. Now all I'm waiting for is the midnight delivery of my chapter brief! W00T!
  19. We don't have Thanksgiving here, primarily because our turkeys have a hard enough time as it is, with Christmas. Adding Thanksgiving to their calendar would be a step too far. I am looking forward to meeting Tanner's dad - who might well require horsewhipping, himself.
  20. Ah, yes. I suppose you had to be there.
  21. @Cole Parker Died in the Wool - a play on words? “Dyed in the wool” is a phrase referring to people who hold very strong opinions and are unwilling to change them. ... In its literal sense, “dyed in the wool” means that the wool has been dyed before it is spun into thread. This produces a strong and long-lasting color.
