New blog site structure

After running the existing blog site for three months a decision has been taken by the Allrighters to split the blog into three to address different needs. Adverse comments have been made about the ease of use of the site within the navigation frames compared to other writer's blogs. 

1. The existing main diary and news blog site will be used to post general updates on progress, longer posts, short stories and comments about once or twice a month. the content will be much the same as now

2. A new comment site will contain much more regular but shorter comments and chat at some times even daily or more. The new blog site should allow you to make comments more easily than on the main web site. The two will be both linked soon to a navigation point where the existing blog is now.

Please go to - http://allrighter.blogspot.co.uk/ and sign up for a trial, you can stop receiving e-mails at any time.

3. The third site will contain longer posts made on other's web sites. These may be referred to on the first two sites above, but this third site will contain a full copy. This site is still being set up.

Ywnwab! now available as Kindle e book on Amazon - 15 10 13

Four weeks since publishing Ywnwab!

Some milestones and emotions:-

• Lovely memories still of feeling and holding a copy and a pile of one's own published book.
• First book purchased.
• First books placed in book shops. Nice to see cover facing out on a book shop shelf.
• Copy sent to Isobel my long standing friend who said I would never write a book! A generous telephone message response. "I would like to speak to the well known writer and author of a certain book. I cannot believe it ... absolutely marvellous. So well done. I am glad I spurred you on. Many congratulations on completing a written work.  Keep going ..." Thanks Isobel.
• Proof read e books. Hoping to have a back cover.
• Long wait for the wheels of Nielsens and Amazon to turn. They have ... so hard copy is available now on Amazon. Preferred supplier is York Publishing Services Book Shop on the following link -  http://www.ypdbooks.com/short-stories/933-ywnwab-autumn-story-book-YPD00864.html
• First review.  Thank you T.
• Positive e mails exchanged with Lord Archer who provided some initial encouragement in an exchange of e mails about his prison Diary books in 2011.
• 920,000 draft words mark passed.
• As well as progress on other small short story and factual books some progress on Look! which we plan as our first long book. Current 55,000 words being self edited and some gaps being filled in for a final word count of about 60,000 words.
• Re-reading John Braine's book 'How to Write a Novel'. Very blunt to the point advice. He says word count is important.
• Once e book is available some posts will be made on other web sites about our writing experiences since 2010. Other draft posts prepared on cover design and also book review and ranking for Amazon.
• Read The Citadel by John Delahunty who was also told he would not be able to write a book. Saxon's Bane by Geoffrey Gudgion also published in September - includes some nice ethereal and spiritual writing. Started The Stone Cutters a recommendation from Mary Tod who's first self published book Unravelled seems to be selling well in Canada her home market. About to start a 'final reader's review' of draft of Turning Point by Calvin Hedley.
