Right my lovelies there will be an erotic #sexmeupreadathon book up later however I’m currently on my lunch break at work and really fancied writing this review. As I read a lot of books that are sent to me it means that I don’t really get a choice as to the genre. Although I do mix and match books depending on what I last reviewed it sometimes means that I end up reading a book of a genre that I’m not particularly fancying at the time. However, due to me reading so many books that fit in the ‘erotica’ genre box, I could take a step back and review this lovely book! Once again thank you to the author, I cannot wait to read your second book after reading this one! Also, apologies for the random outburst of emotion last night, I’ve had enough of feeling sorry for myself so…

Telling a Story Through Screenwriting: At Least For the “Telling A Story” Part, Something I’m In Love With Today That I HATED Yesterday

Robert, I am truly honored by your words. If I could help every single writer who is serious about their craft, connect with who they need and what they need to succeed, I would do it every single day. I am just grateful to know that in some small way, I’ve been able to help and encourage you because you REALLY want this. I’m not going to invest my time and introduce someone to groups I belong to who isn’t at least as driven as I am to be a writer. You had already written three books.That was more than proof enough that talking to you and encouraging you was a worthy investment. However, I think you know me well enough to know that anyone who comes to me with this dream will be welcome with open arms. Just keep doing what you’re doing. This isn’t a side show or a hobby. This is our true calling and we have to keep our ears and eyes open and follow it through until we’re gone. Now get to work! 😉

I don’t like to use the word “hate,” but there is probably no better way to describe how I felt about making up stories when I was little. I truly HATED it. Whenever someone wanted me to “tell a story,” I couldn’t stand it. I went out of my way to avoid doing it. I remember when I used to play G.I. Joes with my cousin and brother and my cousin came up with the idea of pretending we were each making our own movies. We used sections of his room to pretend they were our own movie theaters and everything. But I hated that. Being younger than both of them and simply trying to fit in, I think all my effort went into that and for anyone who knows what that’s like, it was very intimidating as a nine-year-old.

The strange thing about that was that it was evident…

…waiting for the Godot Agent/Publisher… TBSU…

I’d love to hear about the book store negotiations as well as those five star hotels. You always give great advice through your own experiences Seumas. Thank you.

…another of my wee chestnuts to share today with yeez… I’ve blogged on this before, but it’s been a while since the last time, so time to freshen it up… I’m not 100% convinced that I’d be any better off in real terms with a formal Agent or Publisher relationship (what a strange WURD it seems to me, to use in this context, ‘relationship’…p’raps ‘arrangement’ suits better?)… however, I don’t like to give up completely on anything until I test it myself… having just bored yeez all silly with the recent five-day Amazon Kindle Promo for my most recent Jack Calder crime thriller, SAVAGE PAYBACK, it may well be worth a ponder… from a standing start, with no paid promotional activity (all my own WURK, Mabel), the downloads for the promo hit a tad above 6,000… so, comes again my perpetual question, ‘if all these good folks wanna…
