Romantic Novelists’ Association
March 2nd, 2010 Posted in DIARY, My Writing Life, Work in HandLooking forward to Thursday - the first of our new session of RNA (Romantic Novelists’ Association) Northern Chapter meetings held at the Smiiths Arms, Beckwithshaw near Harrogate. There’ll be plenty of chat over lunch. I’ll certainly come away enthused to get on with my new novel, THE ROAD BELOW ME. The contract for that has now been signed. That in itself enthuses me to get on with it but over all my years of writing I have found meeting other writers always adds to the urge to get on with the job I love — writing. Our members cover a wide range of writing – sub-genres of the overall category of Romantic Fiction. Romance can appear in most fiction, so we have crime writers, historical novelists, chic-lit writers, exponents of thrillers, fantasy writers etc. There’s always much to talk about over lunch and afterwards.
But the words won’t flow until after the weekend as I’m going to visit one of my daughters for a couple of nights. But that isn’t to say the novel is abandoned — it will be developing in the back of my mind; all part of the writer’s working methods.
