Message: | Conor: OK - now I've had two submissions for the story club from you and only after I had gone to the trouble of going three-quarters of the way through each of them did I realise that it is supposed to be Seamus talking. Come on, now, Conor. It's useless you sending me these things and then taking no notice of what I say. If you just want to see them in print OK - I'll put them on, but if I go to the trouble of giving you advice I expect you to take it. You wouldn't last five minutes with an agent, not to mind an editor if you behaved like that! | |

Message: | OK, so the problem was just on ONE PAGE of my document. For some reason, it refused to process it. So, you missed the part where I described the glamours and the latest bit starts where Conor was just granted access through. Sorry! | |

Message: | Cara: Now that's a hard question! Seriously, I think that hard work is the key to any achievement. I work very hard -and try not to spare any effort while researching my books. In fact I don't allow myself to start until I have everything thing in place and have planned the whole book right up to the ending. By that stage I have between ten and forty folders of information and ideas. | |

Message: | Dear Cora, Oh dear I can't believed you replied!!! So soon to. I live in Australia so I thought it might be a bit hard for you to reply so soon as you live in Ireland, as I am led to believe. I'm in the middle of reading I was Jane Austen best friend again! I still can't believe that Jane's mother left George down in the village with Nanny Littleworth, I think that's is so horrible. I've got a question I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer it though! How do you write such phenomenal books!? From Cara | |

Message: | Cara: I love getting a message like that - I have favourite books that I read and reread and I am so thrilled to be the author of one that people like to reread. I did enjoy writing that and had a wonderful time researching the costumes of that era. The museum at Bath was a great inspiration. I got the idea for Jenny's first ball dress there. | |

Message: | Conor: I don't understand what is happening, but it's fine my end. I just copied about three chapters from a book I wrote for girls quite some time ago and it all worked perfectly. Perhaps it's something to do with the anti-virus software on your computer. That often seems to be the source of a problem, I find. | |

Message: | Dear Cora, I'm eleven years old and I absolutely love your book I was Jane Austen's best friend. I've read it something like ten times in the past six months or something! I'm yet to read Jane Austen stole my boyfriend, but I will read it I promise you. I think you a fabulous author and I hope to read more of your books in the future. From Cara your biggest fan! | |

Message: | I hope you like your phone, Conor. I'm only just getting into text-messaging and find it very tedious compared to emailing - but then I am a touch typist -learned it nearly fifty-five years ago and the skill has never left me. I didn't receive your story - but don't resend just now - keep it until Monday as I am very busy - get the chapter openings right during the weekend. | |

Message: | Thanks! I just sent you a new part of my story... and I'm thinking of doing a prologue in the beginning of the story, to reference what happened in the last book, before Chapter 1. What do you think of that? | |

Message: | That's an excellent idea - I like the informality of that. Have a wonderful day. I've just started work. I'm in the early stages of a new book called 'The Last Druid' and it seems to be flowing very well. I've done ten thousand words so far this week. And when it is finished I shall have to see how my agent likes it - and be polite if he criticizes it! | |

Message: | Yes, I understand... but third person, I felt like it wasn't making for a good enough association for each of the characters, and this book in particular needs first-person point of view for something that happens later on. I actually have my Confirmation today- I woke up early so I could write for an hour, then leave. Well, I could have something at the beginning of every chapter that says something like "Hey, Séamus here." Because this is meant to them telling the story after it happened. | |

Message: | Conor: I think that you have to have an introduction into each character the first time that it is introduced into the story - weave it in, but it needs to be at the head of the chapter. (and each chapter should have a number - in words - beside it and a chapter title under it.) If you have to put the name of the P.O.V. character, then if should be on the third line and on the left, but I think that is clumsy. You're a good enough writer to weave it in. | |

Message: | Then, in subsequent chapters, make sure that someone address the P.O.V. character by name and very early on. I'm not keen on multiple P.O.V.s - you are not good enough yet to have a distinctive 'voice' for each and it all sounds as though it's Conor. And, of course, one of the reasons why a reader likes a book is an identification with the main character - that is one of the reasons why Harry Potter is so popular. | |

Message: | What Latin? O.o Also, I really don't know a way to get who's narrating across, unless I get rid of all Chapter names, and just replace them with narrator names... The spells are a new way I'm trying to go with the series, I wasn't taking any inspiration from the Harry Potter books, I actually hate them... | |

Message: | Once again, in the actual document I have the current narrators name in colour at the top. It isn't exactly like a diary- it's more like they're speaking into a recorder, or telling someone the story. This story is a little less action based that the last one, and more based on character development and such, appreciation for all their friends... with a major plot twist at the end of course! | |
