29/07/05

– Well at least I’ve managed to get this month’s update up on time. I know it makes a change.

‘Hellooooooooo.’ *waves to all*

This month has been a great month for me so far. I sent away three pieces of works in the past and two have replied, both accepting my submissions. My first one is with a short story called
‘Still Life’ which is due to be published in August with ‘Scifantistic’ magazine, available to purchase at £1.90, so dig in your pockets and grab a copy while you can.

The second is with my horror short story
‘The Teapot’ some of you may have seen it on here, but now it is published with ‘DemonMinds’ in their online magazine, so why don’t you pop over and have peek. Well that leaves number three… I’ll let you know as soon as I find out. Two out of three ain’t bad, so either way I’m well happy.

On
‘east of the web’s site’, I found a notice for ‘Playboytv’ requiring short erotic pieces, so I subbed the first few paragraphs and they’ve asked to see the rest. Fingers crossed on that one.

I haven’t sent any more pieces off yet. But I am making a list and I will push myself to send more items off. I now have a bit more confidence in my writing now.

As for editing, my novel Barry is going very slowly. The film script is still on, I remembered to post
James with what I had so far and we’ve managed to get the first few scenes sorted. We’re still looking at what makes people scared, so any ideas or information, drop me a line.

Work is progressing with my novella
‘The Hell of War the first part is on here now. Second part will be here soon. I’ve enjoyed researching and writing these. And I’m still bashing away at my other short stories.

Have you looked at the
showcase page yet? You will find loads of great works there from other authors. Don’t forget to pop over to the forum where you can discuss the showcased works, this website, chat about games, or just talk about anything, whatever suits you, you don’t have to register to comment, but you do to start a new thread off.

As always thanks to those who have signed my
‘guestbook’, it is much appreciated. And thanks also to those who have emailed me.

Keep an eye on the front page, as that lists everything new added to the site, you will find a new poem
‘Independence…’ and a short story ‘The Legend of the Black Boy’, which was part of a challenge on ‘ukauthors’ further details can be seen at the end of the story.



Well that’s it for now.

Till next time,

Tatty Bye…
