Gabrielle Aquilina: It's waaaaay too cold to write a query letter
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2012/02/its-waaaaay-too-cold-to-write-query.html
Friday, 3 February 2012. It's waaaaay too cold to write a query letter. I don't think my brain really functions properly in cold weather. My fingers certainly don't and I can't afford to have the heating on during the day (don't worry, Lady M is dressed up like an Alaskan tree surgeon in the dead of winter). Still, I have struggled on towards my goal of SUBMISSION. I had a list (of course) of submission to-dos:. Write a 25 word hook. Write a query letter pitch paragraph. Write a one page synopsis. 160;So...

Gabrielle Aquilina: Farewell England, G'day Perth!
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2012/06/farewell-england-gday-perth.html
Sunday, 10 June 2012. Farewell England, G'day Perth! We arrived in Perth to be picked up by Steve from Wangara Car hire - highly recommended, he is very friendly and accommodating and the car hire is very reasonable - and taken to our first temporary Perth home. Boiled eggs and soldiers and a shower later and we were all in bed and asleep by 8.30pm. Sadly, the weather has not been great - much rain and actually quite cold but, you know, it is the start of winter here! A few things about Australia:. Austr...

Gabrielle Aquilina: Oh, how I love this song
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2014/03/oh-how-i-love-this-song.html
Monday, 17 March 2014. Oh, how I love this song. I really am loving this song at the moment so I wanted to share it with you. Haven't we all been here - resisting an ex that we KNOW is bad news but are drawn to nevertheless? Also Nashville is frickin' awesome. You should all be watching it. Thursdays, Channel 4, 10pm. I sort of love country music now but don't hold that against Nashville. That's all on me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pearl Jam. No more words needed. Writing Process Blog Tour!

Gabrielle Aquilina: I'm back and querying again!
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2014/02/im-back-and-querying-again.html
Wednesday, 26 February 2014. I'm back and querying again! So, the last few months have been a bit rubbish for me BUT I have had a partial request from an agent which is a real confidence boost and makes me believe I can do it. Even if she ultimately rejects my ms, at least she has confirmed that my writing isn't completely horrible. Anna know how I got this much appreciated request? Ah, the power of social media. If you aren't on it, you need to be. There's always someone tweeting an interesting. Boy, it...

Gabrielle Aquilina: Winter Solstice in Perth
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2012/06/winter-solstice-in-perth.html
Monday, 25 June 2012. Winter Solstice in Perth. It was Winter Solstice here in Perth the other day and the weather was rather obligingly non-English. Hooray for lots of reasons, one being laundry and another being outside play for Lady M. The Chardmeister decided to take the day off from his current stay-at-home dad status and. Now, I realise I am, as usual, late to the party with both these books but given the smallness of the fiction section and their seeming inclination towards the crime genre, these ...
