Writer's Block
Having just finished the draft of Turning Wheels and sending it out to beta readers, I returned to Identity Crisis only to find I couldn't think where to take it!
Spent the morning throwing words at paper (okay, well the screen) with a vague hope that some of them might end up in the right order!
Then I took a break. Walked the dogs, cooked a curry - and then it came to me! Yup, the scene I'd written was in the wrong place, and with only a slight change in emphasis I was hopefully going to be back on the right track.
Even if your brain is dead and the words don't seem to flow just keep writing! In the recesses of your mind there's probably some sense going on that you just don't consciously realise as yet.
Or is that just me?

New Giveaway
Wow. I just can't stop writing! With STOLEN LIVES completed and published and two more books in the pipeline (and the fourth half written) I couldn't quite forget Nijad and Cara.
So I thought it would be fun to write a Prequel to the first book explaining a little more about how the main characters came to their starting points. The 10,000 words prequel is available as a giveaway on my website mandamellett.com in Kindle or epub format.
The prequel can be written either before or after the main book.
Happy reading!
