Well done on getting 2,000 words done yesterday, Jacqui! That's a great day's work!
Yeah, motherhood is the business! I just wish I had the money to not go back to work! Baba loves the groups, she's at an age now where she can interact and get a lot of benefit from them. It will prep her for the C word, which she is starting in January.

Girls a question if you don't mind, how and where do you come up with names for characters, I am currently using a baby name book for some of Mt forenames but I find it hard to get surnames, trying to be careful not to name real people, does anyone else have this problem?

Post by susanmay on Sept 18, 2008 10:23:16 GMT
I have the same problem with surnames Jacqui. I think your best bet is to have a look through the newspapers or the telephone book for last names. You know yourself if the name is right for the character.

Girls, Thanks a million for the birthday wishes. I had to put off the celebrations until the weekend. I had to work last night. Didn't finish till 11. I have three weeks work to catch up on after the holidays in both jobs so it's been hectic. Sorry that I haven't been on line for so long. Will hopefully catch up with you all on Friday or Saturday. I had to sneak in here today at work so can't stay on. Thanks a million again.

There's nothing but grey skies. A day of sunshine would be a novelty. It feels like theres been no Summer and now all the Halloween and Christmas stuff is in the shops I feel sorry for anyone with children because they must be under ferocious pressure.

Laura, I meant to say before, hard luck on the driving test but don't worry, you will get it soon. I have a theory they fail people on purpose to get as much money as possible ;-)
Nic will be getting married in a few hours!!!!

Girls I saw this woman on utv life recently she is another new author from belfast......and she mainly writes for 12/14 yrolds.have any of you heard of her?
Many people dream of becoming published authors but not many succeed. Sarah Wray was beginning to wonder if she would ever find that success...
She did thanks to a competition called the Wow factor. Her second book called The Trap hit the book shelves at the end of last month. She joins Pamela and Frank on the sofa.
Sarah lives in Belfast with her husband and three children. She has a degree in Genetics from Queen's University and has worked as a research scientist and a science teacher.
Her first novel, The Forbidden Room won the Wow Factor competition whose aim was to find the next big children's author in the UK. The panel that selected Sarah's book as the winner included This Morning presenters Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield.
The Trap - Synopsis:
When fifteen-year-old Luke Sheldon is offered a place at an American summer camp for smart kids, he thinks he's in for the trip of a lifetime. Are the rumours true that three campers disappeared a few years earlier? Too late he discovers that he has been drawn into a horrific trap that could cost him his life...

I don't know how the theory works in Ireland but here it is done by computer and you can only give an yes or no answer, very simple and straight forward. and no arguing if you don't have enough points

I haven't heard of that lady, but I'll remember her name from now on. Interesting synopsis.
