My Writing Blog
Susan Jones writes romantic drama with a touch of humour, and historical sagas as Lydia King. She lives in North Warwickshire, and loves walking through the beautiful woodlands where she lives, and gardening and reading are her pastimes.
I recently entered the Romantic Novelist’s competition for new talent. Take a look here and see who’s on the shortlist. So now though I’m not doing nanowrimo as I’ve been busy telling Debz and Vanessa I am busy writing more of the story which is all in plan, now needs to be on paper. It’s quite exciting as there were over 120 entries I believe.
Now as the title is Hat’s off to Love, here’s some red roses and me in a hat.
Wow! Congratulations Susan!!! 🙂 You must be so excited. I know I am, and it’s not even me, lol. You are an inspiration to writers – I have my fingers crossed for you xxx
Thanks Nicola, you’re an inispiration to us all as well, thanks for the crossed fingers. It’s a story I’m passionate about though, so hoping…
Now, that is what makes a story – passion 🙂 Can I ask if this story has a personal meaning in that you can relate to it? Or am I asking too much? I’m just very excited for you!
Hi Nicola, it’s not autobiographical, and I know I’ve spelled that wrong. It’s set in the 70’s though, and in a rural Warwickshire town, and it’s ….. well I’m sure you’ll find out. Talk soon.
Brilliant – well done! That is so exciting 🙂 Everything crossed for you xx
Thanks Teresa, I hope your stories have influenced me enough, which I know they do.xx
Well done, Susan!
Thanks Sally.

What fabulous news Susan. WELL DONE! Do you get to the awards ball if on the shortlist?
Will keep everything crossed for you, but it’s a tremendous achievement to have reached the shortlist in the first place.
Thanks Tracy it is. Yes we get invited, and a partner as well, but I’m a florist in my day job and already doing arrangements like crazy, and writing of course. Thanks for popping by, it’s given me great confidence in my story though.
Hats off to you! That’s brilliant.
Isn’t it Patsy? Can’t stop, I’m typing up my story and it’s getting good.
Brilliant! That’s a great incentive to carry on writing 🙂
