Six chapters of Genuine Bargains went up on Authonomy a week or so ago and I've had some very nice responses. I don't know how seriously to take the 'contest' but it's a plus for new people to see my work.
Writer Development is over now, at least for a year, so I should have more time to work on writing, editing and submissions.
The collider has inspired a new piece 'Hard Science', a 'trashy' thriller which is in the early stages of development. Meanwhile 'Love Like Salt' my 'literary' effort will have to languish unloved.
GB is quite middlebrow in approach, but a work with some refinement and character depth I hope. My final workshop at writer development was fronted by an agent who compared GB to the works of an author called Barbara Pym and this comparison was also made by one of the commentors on Authonomy. Apparently she was very highly thought of, but her works date from the 50s and 60s and she died in c1980.
The collider is ramping up, albeit more slowly than originally planned. I make my small contributions to opposing it here and there on the net, and have recently written to my MP and the government's chief scientific advisor to update them. The debate has moved on a little bit and a few people are starting to recognise that there could be something to discuss here after all.
About Me
- Justine
- Wish I got to the theatre more often. Tends to be about once a decade. Also reading, who has time these days? I continue to believe that there are too many sheep among all classes of people, including the cleverer more educated ones. When will people learn not to pass on fake news stories?
