Shameless Self Promotion

March 3, 2010 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Today, it is my turn to be unveiled as part of the new Chinese Whisperings project! It’s really rather exciting, seeing oneself on a web page that’s not yours (and, I would venture to guess, less confusing than seeing yourself appear someone distinctly unpleasant). If you’d like to take a look, have a wander over here, although it pretty much will redirect you back here! I even answered five questions on the website, the answers to which are here.

I feel like I’m bursting with ideas at the moment. I’m redrafting the third instalment of The First Tale, from my Tales from Vertigo City serial, and I’m redrafting my first novel, Fowlis Westerby. The redrafting process hasn’t been as painful as I thought it might be, mainly because I did a lot of revision while I was still writing it (I know you’re not supposed to, but yah boo sucks to the establishment). I do have a couple of plot holes I want to fill, and I want to expand a couple of secondary characters, but hopefully I’ll have my first revision complete by the end of April, at the latest.

I’ve also got another idea floating around in my brain, but I’m letting it simmer just below the surface before I even attempt to get anything solid on paper. There is, after all, the possibility of biting off far more than I can chew…
