Hi. I am experimenting with a number of ideas at the moment to establish which genre I feel the most comfortable writing. I have started both a psychological thriller and a fantasy. At the moment I have put them aside to concentrate on improving my general writing skills and weed out bad habits.
I started writing a nontraditional book on dieting, but it's difficult with time restraints.
I'm about 1/2 way into a novel geared towards early teens and am drafting a book for first graders. I get a little overwhelmed sometimes and need to take a breather, but I'll eventually get them to a publisher, who will hopefully like them!
I have the outline completed of a true story of adventure about two friends of mine who were injured and lost in the wilderness and how they fought to survive. The opening chapter should be completed this week.......hopefully!!
It is about a 17th century brave queen in India who defeated Portuguese rulers again and again.
