Writers' Blog: The glow on the horizon
http://karenturnerwritersblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-glow-on-horizon.html
With author Karen Turner. Friday, 7 August 2015. The glow on the horizon. It's there - right there, like a shimmering glow. A point in the distance surrounded by a golden halo lighting the sky . the glow on the horizon. For me, it's the end of the book I'm currently writing. Now, before I get too carried away, this is, as yet, only the first draft, of what will be many, many drafts, and one or two more for good measure. They're there with all their human loves and hates, grievances and desires. Once they...

Writers' Blog: November 2014

With author Karen Turner. Friday, 28 November 2014. Journalling - what's it all about? Have you heard about journalling? It's okay if you haven't because until recently I hadn't heard about it either. But many of you probably have heard about it and you're probably journalling your little hearts out because keeping a journal has moved into the sphere of what's currently cool. Featured in my books Torn. Under the name of Wolstone. I didn't call what I did journalling. I was writing my journal. Simply put,...

Writers' Blog: Shameless self-promotion
http://karenturnerwritersblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/shameless-self-promotion.html
With author Karen Turner. Friday, 10 July 2015. Hello and happy Friday! I have a friend who is one of the best self-promoters I've ever seen, and good luck to her. I wish I had half her guts. I can't tell you who she is because she won't thank me for writing about this subject, but you could probably guess if you've been following my blogs for the last couple of years. Unfortunately, I am not! But when it comes to marketing my books, selling. Oh dear, that's when it all falls apart and I become all tongu...

Writers' Blog: September 2014
http://karenturnerwritersblog.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
With author Karen Turner. Friday, 26 September 2014. I talked last week about how life is too short. I know it's a cliche kind of saying but it really is true. As I mentioned, my dad never got the chance to live his dream - he had always wanted to go to Kakadu. And just ran out of time. The reason I want to continue this theme is because when my dad died without ever achieving the things he wanted to achieve, it made me really think about my own situation. I suppose you could say I had an epiphany. With ...

Writers' Blog: March 2015
http://karenturnerwritersblog.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
With author Karen Turner. Friday, 27 March 2015. The maligned and misunderstood apostrophe. I had a bit of a rant on facebook. A while ago - not something I usually do because I want people to enjoy my posts. I certainly don't want to come across as some stick-wielding school marm. However, I was prompted to deliver my rant because of an item I saw on a restaurant menu. That's right, egg's, complete with apostrophe. So, I'll probably insult a number of people with what I'm about to say, but in my experie...
