Checking in It’s quite a challenge to have to justify myself and my decisions for him in such detail. On the one hand I’m having fun and enjoying telling the story, which is what it’s all about. On the other, there is a real sense that if I’m building a new mythology,… Mac 07/31/12 0
Welcome! For now, I’ve got to settle in and fiund out what all the buttons in the site’s control panel do. Mostly, I’m worried about finding the ‘DO NOT PRESS THIS’ one and having this irresistible urge to wonder ‘What if...?’ Mac 07/25/12 10 09/22/08
Allie - one for you Obviously, as he’s currently a demon, he’s got to have either had a very immoral life or to have committed one terrible action, or a combination of both. Darren came up with the idea that he would have been in the First World War - and I like the idea,… Mac 08/29/08 2 09/02/08
Damon’s car It’s a 1967 AC Cobra 427 - the version Damon would drive is a S/C as there were only ever 31 of those made with 500 bhp and they sell for a scary amount of money. Sex, power… yeah! As for noise - just listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW7pfbLfsng So, what… Mac 08/27/08 3 08/28/08
Oh my goodness! I’ve managed to book a room at The Witchery by the Castle in Edinburgh and I’m sooo excited. It’s madly expensive, but have you SEEN what our room looks like??? And then there’s the bathroom! To say he’s going to be a bit gobsmacked doesn’t even come into it! We… Mac 08/25/08 5 08/27/08

The bit until Meg leaves the shop Meg glanced at her watch. “Six-ish in Brindles’?” she suggested. “By the time Gran’s finished with me, I’ll be desperate for some sanity.” “And you think that you’re going to find that with me?” “Did you lose it again? Josh! What am I going to do with you? Where did… Mac 08/10/08 1 08/10/08
Writing myself into a corner She hummed to herself as she wriggled into her favourite blue shirt and began to fasten the buttons. The sun should have been shining brightly outside; instead clouds lurked ominously, threatening a deluge before the day was out, but she found she didn’t much care. Nothing could possibly dampen her… Mac 08/08/08 9 08/09/08
Tap once for yes, twice for no I’ve got the packages ready to go off to the agents. I’ve been through it a few times and it’s as good as I can make it and a little changed from the version that’s on Google docs. I’ve revamped the ‘pitch’ and it’s a lot more effective than it’s… Mac 05/28/08 17 08/08/08
Smudge in the wrong place! Anyhow, I need desperate help. I need to get ‘Smudge’ back into the market place. I’m just about over the ghastly rejection I had a few months ago where I was told it had ‘no marketable qualities’ - which is rubbish because the kids at school all like it, and… Mac 05/25/08 2 08/10/08
Original opening of Bedeviled This is the original opening of the book, although I’ve since written an additional scene in hell instead of being in Damon’s head so much at the start. See what you think… Mac 05/19/08 0
Ooooh! Any suggestions for songs to go on it? Very cool! Mac 05/18/08 2 05/19/08
Young Adult or Adult? My first instinct was YA. I’m a teacher, I can write teenagers pretty easily and you don’t end up with much in a YA novel that would cause any raised eyebrows at work! Having said that, I can write under a pseud and there’s no harm doing. Grace at 16… Mac 05/17/08 0
Editing software With the last two of these we’re all leaving comments on the same document, so it does cut down on time because not everyone has to correct the same thing, but you can lose the flow a bit because of previous people’s edits. Writeboard is good because you can go… Mac 05/05/08 7 05/09/08
Hey! Secondly, a bit of an introduction, I suppose because I know everyone, but you don’t all know each other! I’ve been writing under a pen name based on a family name for the past 7 years, so you’ll probably know me as Imogen or Miss Mac. My usual ‘day’ name… Mac 05/02/08 17 05/06/08
