I had three books published in my twenties. After some time away, I thought it wise to look up current trends in fiction and was shocked to be suddenly confronted with lists of Rules and Top Ten Mistakes no self-respecting writer should ever make. Well I’m sure I have broken every rule and committed all ten mistakes in triplicate. So how do I write now? Well that, as they say, is a work in progress. Book One of Fait Accompli is complete at 100,000 words Oh and I'm a newbie. I registered three years ago but have only just ventured inside. I'm looking forward to meeting some new writers.
