A follow up from a post about me as a child, now it's my husband's turn here

In pursuit of happiness. Someone in RL the other day askd why I was always so happy when so much went wrong, so I have blogged about it. Here.

Hope it's not too lectury.

Ok. I have done it. Entered a writing competition.

Mills and Boons New Voices.

Have as yet no votes, but it is being shared, so that is something.

Who will admit to being a M&B fan?

Amodmillymum · 20/09/2011 13:10

I read so much Mills & Boon when I was a teenager because I heard that they paid £200 per book and that it was a set format. Problem was when I started writing it I couldn't quite get into the pulsating manhood and would always start writing comedy love scenes with firm thrusting and spurting members. I was rubbish!

Anyway here's today's - am teaching OH how to blog this is his first attempt. He decided to talk about pussy......

Ooh I migh enter that. I've never written romance before but I need writing competitions in order for me to do any writing at all I'm that lazy.

I'm going to register later and of course I will vote for yours. I have only read the first couple of chapters on your site but I liked!

Angel786 · 20/09/2011 14:10

Frau loved the entry - how do we vote for you?

Cheria · 20/09/2011 14:12

Milly love the cat story!

SweetestThing · 20/09/2011 16:13

A few steps forward, a couple back

You have to register to vote, which is a bit of a shame, cause I guess that some won't want to but I will bribe you all with Swiss chocolate if you do vote

Yes, I can remember reading that they paid £200 per book and thought it would be a doddle. Not quite as easy as I thought back then when I was a teenager.

Angel786 · 20/09/2011 16:25

I am easily bought, especially with chocolate... Registering now!

Cheria · 20/09/2011 16:27

I believe it is actually one of the hardest series to write for. People look at it as being really easy but the stories do have to be believable in some way.

Attached an article about it.

Angel786 · 20/09/2011 16:40

Would have rated higher but the iPad is tricky with the website... Hope it helps.

Cheria · 20/09/2011 17:05

FrauL have voted for your chapter.

Cheria · 20/09/2011 17:14

*rated. not voted.

FrauLindor · 20/09/2011 17:14

Thanks all.

I don't think I can win, as mine is an unusual entry for M&B but it might bring me a few readers. I have not done the typical - heroine and hero meet in first chapter and hate each other.

Am peeved that I missed a mistake though.

Thanks for the article, Cheria.

ScatCatShoo · 21/09/2011 00:51

Mme, I just voted for your entry. Well done you!

I have a new post, trying to get rid of all the courgettes in my garden :-) Can't get better than biscuits, or cookies as them people say here.

Lemon Courgette Cookies

FrauLindor · 21/09/2011 08:55

Thanks, ScatCatShoo.

Love the booties, Queenmaeve, and a nice idea for a blog post - the what makes my house a home.

TrillianAstra · 21/09/2011 08:59

The difference between visitors and guests (sort of) - probably only works if you're like me and get twitchy about having other people staying in your house.

FrauLindor · 21/09/2011 09:15

Have commented, and totally agree on the guest vs visitors.
