@miapatrick Quite right. No one can really edit their own work. I found that there were several bits and pieces I’d written, which my Editor said I didn’t need. she called it ‘literary self indulgence’ and she was right. None of them added anything to the plot, but it’s difficult to see that for yourself.
Another thing, anyone who thinks…[Read more]

@stitchintime

I’ve never thought of it like that. Mainly because there is very rarely any bad meterial *grins* But, I know exactly what you mean.
I still consider “Heaven Sent” as a masterpiece for both writer and actor.

Superb isn’t he.

@bluesqueakpip

That’s good, much more encouraging for potential authors. I doub’t if I’ll attempt it though, all I wanted to do was to prove I could write a novel – and I have. Not to say that it’s any good, but I had a go.

Admirers of MR James may already have discovered this video, but in case you haven’t.

Trawling through ghost stories on Youtube this morning, I found to my delight, a video about MR James:

MR James: Ghost writer 720P presented by Mark Gatiss. Thoroughly recommended and very recent.

I was delighted to hear that two of Mr. James’s favourite…[Read more]

You are right. Fortunately I had a lot of time (excuse the pun) for all the Doctors, they all had their own little quirks.
I. like you. didn’t like Matt Smith at first, in fact I almost stopped buying the series because of him. However, deciding that one should not judge by one episode, I continued watching, and finally came to be…[Read more]

I meant that IT was clever.

Rather expensive too I’m told.

Obsession has set in. I watched this again last night and still love it.

Oh, if only I were clever enough to write such a plot.

Full of hope, and sure I was right this time, I persuaded my OH to watch this episode.

He didn’t even get as far as meeting Ashildr??? I told him I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t like Heaven Sent, now

I was positive. What is not to like about the Raven?

He enjoyed the Abominable Bride, which I thought he wouldn’t.

The answer? He doesn’t…[Read more]

Clever. Thank you.

@miapatrick

You are right. they don’t hold me back *grins* and are very expensive. In fact dearer than actual fags!
I shall most certainly have a lookaround and find these shps.
Thank you again, much appreciated. As @pedant mentiond, an agent is good to have as well, they do all the work of finding the appropriate publisher.

Everyone. I’ve got…[Read more]

According to Wikipedia, the Archbishop’s biological father was related to James 1st and James 2nd.

@stitchintime “Any suggestions?”
If you are keen, perhaps you could find an editor? Also re: Audio books, I get the main library up on the computer, look at their lists and request the ones I fancy. have you tried that?

By the way, what sort of writing do you do?

It’s a Romantic fantassy, all out of my head which requires no…[Read more]

A quick note.

Reading all your posts is a treat, but time is against me. I shall get back to them tomorrow.

@ichabod

Since the real world feels way to much like that most of the time to me these days (the relentless drumbeat of bad news, atrocities, conspiracy, and corruption, I mean), I don’t have much tolerance for it these days in my entertainment. I think I favor less diffuse cast of characters, with tighter focus on a handful of individuals who s…[Read more]

My hubby loves GOT and I like listening to it from the next room while I talk to nice Whovians like all of you.The violence is way too much for me , all that screaming.

Missy

@ichabod

Thank you, that makes sense about GOT. Little boys pulling wings off flies?
However, I too love the magic and supernatural elements, so it’s a great shame.

@nerys

Funny you should say that. We watched one episode of the Vikings and turned it off.
What whimps we are.

I much prefer Merlin and Harry Potter.

@miapatrick

That is the one thing about Plantagenets (the DVD) which annoys me, they barely touch on Richard 111.
Richard 11, yes.
Quite frankly I feel daft not being able to cope with sex and violence when it’s part, or all fiction, but can when it isn’t. *rolls eyes* I believe that The Hollow Crown (series 2) is rather brutal in parts. Oh…[Read more]
