Masters tales

Quote

June 27, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I don't normally share these but this one I liked and totally understand. Is it just me of do your character seem real? Most of the time as I write I don't even know how they are going to react until I've put them in the situation. And more often than not they take me… Continue reading Quote

Family and writing

June 26, 2013 Kate4 Comments

I was reading the latest Myslexia and in there is an article suggesting that you have to be brave in order to write about your family. Now I thought that this would mean only autobiography and biography books, but no - they look at all books. We are taught that we must write what we… Continue reading Family and writing

Published in an anthology

June 23, 2013 Kate3 Comments

The book in question is The Busker anthology compiled by What the Dickens. I have a short story in there and am over the moon. The last few days have been a little trying and this has just made me smile. My story is "A fur coat, a guitar and a song" and is about… Continue reading Published in an anthology

Workshops and teaching

June 20, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I took my first class. It was nerve racking. I mean I hadn't slept the night before and I turned up early only to find that the door was locked. Now I know that Trinity St David is the smallest university, but this had been part of the old building. It is beautiful but I… Continue reading Workshops and teaching

Loglines

Logline 19 – Compulsive

June 20, 2013 KateLeave a comment

This is late... I'm pretending that yesterday is today for just a moment. 🙂 This story is actually written. It was one of the first I ever wrote, but has never been seen outside of my family. The reason? It's controversial and it instigated an argument. Oddly, I have since written may other more controversial… Continue reading Logline 19 – Compulsive

Logline 18 – boarder

June 18, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Argh! I did briefly think of a person boarding in a house but then I thought PIRATES! Argh! Synopsis Geoffrey is a retired banker and happily married man. He has retired at an early age of fifty three and with his forty year old wife, he sets out to sail to Australia. But as they… Continue reading Logline 18 – boarder

Logline 17 – stake-out

June 17, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Stakeout is the title of a favorite movie in our house. But that doesn't help for a logline... If I change it around... I'm thinking as I type here so how about this: Synopsis: It started with a rose on Valentines day. Lucy came home to find it sitting on her porch. She assumed that… Continue reading Logline 17 – stake-out

Logline 16 – Chalice

June 16, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I did my research for this. What is a chalice? It can be a goblet, mug, cup... anything that holds something. In 'Indiana Jones and the last Crusade' is was wood (the gold and silver ones being the 'bad' chalices), and in the 'Da Vinci Code' it is was a woman (sorry if you haven't… Continue reading Logline 16 – Chalice

Logline 15 – Biking

June 15, 2013 Kate1 Comment

Biking... Well there are many different types; mountain, racing, trick and then of course there is the motorbike which I could stretch the word to include. But I think I'll stick to the mountain bike... Synopsis Michael is sixteen and his birthday gift is a bike. You would have thought this a funny gift for… Continue reading Logline 15 – Biking

Two Identities

June 15, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I write in two different ways and I am confused as to whether to pursue one or the other, or both. This blog is my serious side but I also write for children and am in the process of being published. I am also thinking of a series of middle grade books based in Wales.… Continue reading Two Identities
