The never ending task on editing
Not a normal post
People will make comment and I know they will but lostprophets fans are struggling with this news and it should be respected by the haters that its a lot to take in for us. So if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it!

Continuing to edit
<p>I have a theory that editing is the work of the devil! I have done the first 30 pages and i am about 10 pages into the second 30. This week my aim is to get those 20 pages done, before Craig decides to give me another 30 to moan about.
Lots of changes do far all for the better, its good to have your mate proof for you its a more natural process.
Still undecided on the way i want to publish, still attracted by kindle but its a two book publication. So i can hardly leave one as an e book and have the other in print. Too many choices right now!
The blog hop
Can't Catch tomorrow
2.Where did the idea come from for the book?
I dreamt it, I have really vivid dreams and if they are worth remember I usually start to write them as stories. I would love to have some classic story of a love lost and what not, but no it was a dream about a bloke in a band I find sexy as hell.
3. What genre does your book fall under?
Erotica, chick lit, Romantica I don't know any of those three. Its like fifty shades without the flogger, chains, wipes and getting beaten.
4. What actors would you chose to play the characters in a movie rendition?
Richard Armitage he's older than my character but he looks good for 41 and I am sure he wouldn't argue to play at 30 year old.
Emun Elliot
To play Jas i think it would be Samantha Barks. Jenna I'd like Jessica Brown Findlay. Mason to be played by Tom Hardy. It would be truly British film. There is so much good acting talent in the UK and that's why i would keep it on these shores.
5. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?
Jas has been in love with one man for years, but picked Mr wrong, will he step up and be Mr right?
6. Will it be self published or represented by an agency?
That is the big question, I'm really unsure I might give kindle a bit of a go
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
5 years, yep I am terrible I dip in out stories that need to be written. I have about 6 on the go
8. What other books would you compare this book to in its genre?
Well I have already mentioned 50 shades, but it will be better written and it doesn't have a flogger anywhere in sight. I call it a modern bodice ripper, maybe its an Ann Summers corset ripper who knows!
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
It was the dream, if it wasn't for the dream and the gig I went too this book would never have been written
10. What else about your book might pique readers interest in reading it?
There's a story and real characters as well as lots of sex! I think girls and guys could read it.
Thanks for this Craig, I will find someone to pass it on to
First edit done and dusted
Now it just has to go through the joys and woes of proof reading and editing, then I can decide whether or not find a publisher or self publish on kindle. I like a book personally, you can't beat the smell of a good book. I guess I am just old fashioned like that! Not disrespecting e readers, I own one and love it a lot- but it will never replace the joy of a real book for me.
Now on to the second book, seem as I cut a huge chunk from the first, it seems rude not to use it somewhere, at the moment the I am stuck between two names for books 2 it will either be another shot or you and me
I know how I am going to finish the book!
So excited its nearly done, its taken me almost 5 years to write this book, what with writers block, course work and I can't be arsed moods. But almost there and its mainly down to the support of my awesome mate Craig Hallam, who's books you should also check out. His link to wordpress is on this blog.
Secondly no I don't look like an erotic fiction writer and thankfully none of them look like Katie Price, usually they are plus 40 age wise and i can state right now, i am not close to 40, apparently I look about 23 so I will take that as a compliment, in my aging years of 29.
I don't look like an erotic fiction writer
What exactly does an erotic fiction writer look like? Other than not me, obviously.
Hi by the way, I am tempting writing this and hoping the guy who said it doesn't read this. He could seem as this posts to twitter, so best not make him uncomfortable.
Apparently I look like i go to church once a week and get easily offended, pretty sure neither of those are compliments. At least i have learnt i must dress like a religious nut and must also come across as up tight.
Why do people find it so shocking I write erotica? Everyone is the same, when i say it. Its not written from personal experience, I wish it was! Its fiction its starts in my head and finishes on the page.
There's no bondage, sadism, spanking or use of floggers. Just a modern take of a bodice ripper, if you like.
Anyway I am off to find out what those who write erotic fiction look like. I hope they don't all look llike Katie Price!
