Phoenix Writers: May 2013
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 1 May 2013. The A to B of travel. I’m an infrequent rail traveller, but when I do I find it difficult to read or take pleasure in unravelling a crossword puzzle. No, it isn’t a paper-versus-electronics argument, it’s simply that I can’t bear to miss anything. OK, I’m nosey! In my defence, it’s a researching sort of nosey. 8220;This train is always so full,” she moaned. Talk about heckles rising! Series Two on a tablet. Multi-tasking par excellence! Farther down an inspector, complete with tick...

Phoenix Writers: February 2013
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 February 2013. Firstly, let me just say that this is my first time blogging (EVER! So bare with me just a little. Do not delay (nor dilly-dally). If we want to make our story exciting, we need it to grab the reader straight away. In a recent conversation with my brother, he told me:. 8220;I read one of those [Jo Nesbo] books a while ago. It had a good storyline, but it’s about a three hundred pages, and it’s not until the last fifty that anything actually happens.”. Long gone are the days when ...

Phoenix Writers: Leah - Remember, Remember To Write In November
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2013/11/leah-remember-remember-to-write-in.html
Friday, 1 November 2013. Leah - Remember, Remember To Write In November. I've got my thinking horns on. When I realised I’d put my name down for November’s blog entry, my first thought was; ‘Yey, NaNoWriMo post! 8217; However… now that November is here and my plans are solidifying, I’d actually like to talk to you about something else. Those of you familiar with my blog will have probably heard me talk about Silk Over Razor Blades. Was novel poorly written? Was the story just not marketable? I had to mak...

Phoenix Writers: Going For A Song – Why Writing Is Music To My Ears
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2013/09/going-for-song-why-writing-is-music-to.html
Sunday, 1 September 2013. Going For A Song – Why Writing Is Music To My Ears. For as long as I can remember I've always loved stories – reading them and writing them. I bewildered my primary school teacher with tales of evil Barbie dolls, navel-gazing my way through my teens, before settling on song-writing into my twenties and thirties – writing and performing with various local bands. Last year I found NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month [link is http:/ nanowrimo.org/]. Great songwriters know that...

Phoenix Writers: November 2012
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 22 November 2012. A new week and another new exercise to tax our collective imaginations! Each Saturday, whoever has the chair sets the group a writing task, to be completed by the following Saturday. These exercises may require that at some point in the piece, a particular word must feature, such as precious. Or, it may be that the piece must begin with a particular phrase, such as,. Jack raised his rifle and pointed it towards the cigarette glow,. Or even end with one:. Stroppy Author's guide...

Thursday, 2 October 2014. Hot off the press…. Here at Phoenix Writers we haven't been paying much attention to our blog of late but that's because we've been too busy putting together an anthology of our work instead. Below Daniel Ribot. Interviews the movers and shakers behind the project. Murmurs of partial acquiescence follow). Right, let's get on then! 1 How did the idea for the Phoenix Square anthology come about? 2 Why did you decide on Phoenix Square as the name and theme? Everyone was on board fr...

Phoenix Writers: October 2013
http://phoenix-writers.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 4 October 2013. ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY? Where do you write? Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials) writes in his shed; Will Self in a small room bashing away on an old Remington typewriter. Apparently, the perpetrator of the Harry Potter stories started writing them in a café, now you can hardly pass a café without spotting someone tapping on a tablet device, a Skinny Latté cooling at their side.
