A near future story based in Worthing? That&#8217;s my niche! It would be rude if I didn&#8217;t enter. Click here to read my entry - &#8216;From The Sea, Plenty&#8216; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another short story I wrote a couple of years ago that&#8217;s picked up a few rejections along the way. It&#8217;s an actual, full-monty, sci-fi story in space. I like the anthropomorphising of planets in it. The idea of life coming from distant planets and not evolving by itself here is something I&#8217;ve never forgotten from a Star Trek [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is another short story I wrote which gained a few rejections. I initially wrote it for an alternative fairy tale competition. I still quite like it but realise it&#8217;s more of a vent against bankers than a &#8216;pure story&#8217; and now it&#8217;s probably a bit dated for anyone to publish it. So here it [...]]]></description>

Dark arts that bleed the very lifeblood and momentum you&#8217;ve generating through writing your novel, but necessary evils nonetheless. Researched the agents I want to contact.

I&#8217;m starting the submission process for my second novel, the first novel became a magnet for rejections. I did get a couple of requests for the full MS, one of which was rejected, the other is probably lost by [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been editing my novel &#8216;Broken Branches&#8217; and the accompanying novelette &#8216;Branching Out&#8217; so whilst that&#8217;s happening there&#8217;s not much to blog about. It&#8217;s pretty unexciting. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man! Am I the laziest blogger ever?! Been writing a short story, &#8216;Branching Out&#8217; which is a prequel to my second novel &#8216;Broken Branches&#8217;. Originally thought it would be 2,000/3,000 words, so far I&#8217;m on 8,500 and it&#8217;ll clear 10,000 easy (which classifies it as a &#8216;Novelette&#8216;, apparently). Also, between the last post and the [...]]]></description>
