Back on the querying train again. Waiting for those rejections to come piling in. Here's a sample of what I am trying to get published...

As I draw ever closer to the end of carpentry in the Elvem Forest, my mind is already turning to my next novel. Does anyone think there is any mileage in a Troll detective story in the style of Raymond Chandler? Because that is what I want to write!

A big thank you to everyone who supported this project so we could hit our funding goal. There's still time to back and claim some great rewards, so take a look now if you don't want to miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Carpentry in the Elven Forest is now at 86k words. The end is coming. Then my least favourite part... editing.

Unedited snippet time. Please allow me to introduce you to the off-key-bee

Just going to leave this here. Buy it, great book and the author is a great person as well.

WIP Comedy fantasy is now at 74500 words. reckon I am about 3 - 4 weeks from 1st draft completion.

As the query rejections come pouring in, or nothing happens at all, it can be a little, depressing. I know the story is good, the beta readers have all agreed it is. All you can do is keep trying, keep writing and one day it will happen! if I keep saying it then it will be true right?

How has It taken me this long to realise that JK Rowling named her Wizarding School Pig Herpes?

I believe my AWARD WINNING #fantasy novel THE BONE SHIPS is the Kindle Daily deal in UStoday so fill your boots and tell your friends. If they like found families, angry bird people and dragons the size of cities. Or even if they don't.

I have now submitted my first novel to 22 agents. It is a marathon and I doubt any will pick up a first novel but, it is a process and one I need to go through. I remain hopeful but otherwise will carry on writing my next WIP which makes me smile with every sentence.

Reached 42k words in my comedy fantasy. Trying not to think about the fact that it is mostly bad puns, after all, wasn't it once said: "If puns be the food of life, stuff your face."? I'm sure that was the quote. Only 60k (ish) words to go and yes, I am a very slow writer.
