From beyond the grave....+GBF part 17.25

Hello,

I feel like I have neglected so many people lately, but the move is imminent and once done I shall be back with vengeance. I am so glad to those who still take time to stop by my blog, read my scribbling’s and even comment.

I tend to use this as my journal and so regular readers will know that if I write something, you will read it, even in its raw state. I have one I really want to share with you but apparently I am supposed to keep some of these things to myself until they are finished and in a final presentational state. It has been so hard not to share it!

Seriously, so hard…as some sort of consolation I have written a few hundred words of Girls Best Friend! It’s not much, but its okay… (reminds me of a song)…
Friday night you used to stop by here to read, uh
Would you like it?
But it was never regular-i-ly, what I did
If six of y'all read it, uh
Then four of you were really sweet, yeah
'Cause twas two of you made comments
And two decided they would tweet

It's not…

What do you think?

I am pondering the possibility of publishing Girls Best Friend (when finished of course!) but that would mean removing it from my blog, wattpad etc.

I don't want to disappoint those who are currently reading along and wondered what you think about joining a mailing list, so when I write each instalment (the same as i currently do), I will email it to those on the mailing list ONLY.

What do you think? Or shall we just leave it as is? I would really appreciate some feedback, I am leaning towards the mailing list idea - but if you would rather it was kept online and not-published at any point then I am happy to go with the majority?

Once I figure the best way to sort out a mailing list then I will post it here and remind you weekly to join it in case you dont see this post or that one.

Did that make sense?

Lets hope so!

UPDATE: Email me at AuthorMarjieMyers@gmail.com if you want to receive new instalments of Girls Best Friend! Do it now before you forget :)

Write 4 Ten: SPACE

I have this week taken part in Write 4 Ten, Mondays prompt was SPACE. It can be any definition, use or interpretation. So with this in mind, I sat and wrote for ten minutes and this is what I wrote, its the first time I have written a non-fiction entry. Feedback welcomed :)


As I lay on my bed gazing out of the window at the rain thrashing down, I have a combined feeling of annoyance and nostalgia; annoyed because its summer and I should be out feeling the warm rays caressing my skin, and nostalgia for the pleasure a rain storm can bring. The sky is blue amongst the heavy undulating grey clouds and as I stare into its infinite density, I am there…in Africa…lying on my bed.

The window is shuttered and the power has gone out. The darkness draws in around you causing your skin to cool, an affront to the blistering heat that a moment before had caused it to shimmer in sweat. Then it starts; a tip, a tap, a pitter, a patter…the rain builds up momentum until it is pounding the tin roof. The …

Mini-reviews: Star Trek

Last Saturday, I went to the Cinema alone for the first time as an adult…I decided that the subscription that I paid for was underused by yours truly and so I would spend the day there and watch a few.

I can confess that I overdosed on films, I would have been fine at home but I guess it’s my age because but the volume was too loud! I also can’t watch 3D films, so 2D it was. I actually had a headache and felt nauseous when I left which was not related to the films, honest!

So I saw Star Trek, Mud, Deadfall (by accident) and 21&Over.

My rating:

Star Trek: 3.6

This is out of 5 and I should confess that even I think I am a harsh judge at times but let’s be honest shall we….

Star Trek

I know that Star Trek always has hideous accents and it’s almost a trademark now but they still annoy me, grrr! What with an Englishman being a Scotsman and an American being a Russian and a Kiwi being an American, it was painful at times. In addition to that, it took a good 30-40 minutes before the film actu…

Girls Best Friend: Part 16

I know its not June! But I thought you could have part 16 to tide you over...if that is you havent given up reading it :)

Here its is.....

Robert Rob had just started working at the best criminal law firm in the City. He was only working weekends and evenings filing whilst he studied Law at the nearby university, but everyone had told him it was a great chance and in all likeliness they would sponsor him whilst he did his LPC and he could get a training place there.

Rob mostly filed, but he liked it and his course mates were jealous too, often joking that he had “connections”. When he had been given the job they had told him that he would be rotating around several departments starting with assisting the team who dealt with the high profile criminal cases. On the same day that he started with them they took on a new case.

The team was headed by two lawyers who were very well known Roberts and Robertson. They had represented a lot of criminals and had even managed to get the guilty ones…

Bank Holiday Monday Mixer!

Hello,

I can't believe how quiet I have been this past week but here is my contribution to Monday Mixer. Today (in the UK) is Bank Holiday Monday and so I took 20 minutes out to have a go. What do you think?

Skullectra!

The excitement built in the pit of her stomach as she stood amid a repository of Skullectra fans. Scanning the crowd in the arena she smiled at the number of middle-aged, balding, leather-clad rockers there.
The stage had been set, the instruments were poised, a long walkway protruded out splitting the crowd like a portmanteau. Her skin began to tingle as silence settled on the crowd.
The still sexy lead singer strutted onto the stage carrying his trademark concertina. As usual, he was voluble as he thanked the fans for their support, and for a moment she worried they would disappoint.
The lights flashed, the drum corralled and the guitar began to wail as Skullectra began their comeback tour.  The music roared and rallied as it had in ‘83, the band effulgent as they …
