Sandra Allan: May 2011
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Friday, May 20, 2011. Well, I'm supposed to be in the middle of a lightning draft. You guessed it, I'm not. I'm seriously stalled. I think because I feel that there are things I should know that I don't and that's what's stalling me. The class is going great but I'm just stagnant. Sort of like Homer Simpson humming the clown theme song in his head kind of stagnant. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Romance Writers of America. View my complete profile. The MLC tour...

Sandra Allan: February 2010
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Thursday, February 18, 2010. Help - my book is being hijacked. Day (I won't say) of getting a submission ready. Yep, my submission is being hijacked by my characters. I'm happily editing along when the plot takes a lefty, then a righty, then a u turn. What the! Now, I have to go back and re-think this sucker. I REALLY need to get this submission ready. I'm feeling the pressure to have it GONE! Tuesday, February 9, 2010. The dreaded BLANK page. 8216;I can fix...

Sandra Allan: March 2011
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Sunday, March 6, 2011. The terror of small workshops. You know them. Those small number workshops where you can't hide and you have to participate. Can you feel your palms sweating? Well, I'm off to one next weekend and I can tell you - my throat is dry and I've still got a week to go. This could be a good thing. It could be the best diet I've ever been on. My stomach is so knotted I can't eat. Include the pitying look and there you have it. My hide after al...

Sandra Allan: September 2010
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Friday, September 3, 2010. A case of PMS or poor me syndrome. I'm having a PMS day or poor me syndrome day. Yup, got a rejection from an online query. As queries go this was pretty good rejection considering it wasn't just the standard thanks but no thanks. But I'll still keep on going. Still feel embarrassed when someone who's been writing for shorter periods final in contests, get an agent and / or picked up for publication. Hard to get to where they have.

Sandra Allan: February 2011
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Thursday, February 17, 2011. The Fall Guy aka Underdog. Ever wonder whether you're the fall guy, the underdog? I think we all do to a certain extent. Are you the one that worked unimaginable hours at school to just pass where others sailed through and became dux / valedictorian? Are you the one who, wasn’t a champion sports star but a team player and even then spent time on the bench? See I can add more than one cliché in a sentence - HA). Think of Cinderell...

Sandra Allan: Voice - you've got it!
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2011/02/voice-youve-got-it.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Monday, February 7, 2011. Voice - you've got it! Had an interesting conversation with fellow writer Elijana Kindel. Today about voice. She's got it, I want it back. What prompted this discussion was that I am doing a fantastic critique course at Savvy Authors. With the insightful Teresa Bodwell. How do you recognize voice and how do you protect it once you've found your voice? I think voice can change depending on what genre you're writing at the time. Voice...

Sandra Allan: July 2010
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. If you crossed Mr Spock with my cat you'd get. Hell if I know. But the possibilities are there when you're developing new characters. Just think about it for a minute. What a bizarre mix! The logic and coldness of Spock mixed in with the ruthless, killer instincts of a cat. How about the deeply hidden passions of Spock mixed in with the passionate affectionate qualities of a cat. Just think of what genetics could come up. The MLC tour...

Sandra Allan: The shaming post
http://sandraallan.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-shaming-post_6.html
Paranormal and Science Fiction Romance Writer. Saturday, July 6, 2013. I am so shamed. I just popped on to my poor blog and realised I've been one slack writer. Why did I visit my blog you may ask? It's because of another blog I just finished reading - thanks to Holding the Line By Laura Bickle. So - I thought I'd share this blog for any of you who are allowing other things to sway you. Good luck and get writing! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Romance Writers of America. Sunday, bloody Sunday. The M...
