Welcome to the Darkside...

...join me, Akasha Savage, as I brave the deepest dungeons and scale the misty mountains to achieve my dream: to see my novel Bathory in print. I will take you by the hand and keep you beside me as I cross this uncharted territory...



...let us step into the moonlit darkness together...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I would like to say a big thank you to all my friends out there in the mighty bloggersphere. Thanks for the comments and words of encouragement during 2009. They really do mean a lot to me.

All the best for the coming year, 2010!

Let's raise a glass together....

...and keep writing...

It may be New Year's Eve but I squeezed in half an hour of writing. Today's word count~275! :)

Welcome to my new home, come in and take a seat...

Some of you are probably wondering why I've moved. The answer is simple. This year, 2010, I have decided to take myself seriously - correction - I have decided to take my writing seriously. I have been labouring under the misconception that if I sit down occasionally at my laptop a masterpiece will unfold beneath my dancing fingertips.
Mmmmmmmm.
That's not happening....
It seems that I have actually got to spend decent lumps of time - uninterrupted time - at the keyboard and slog away whether I'm in the mood or not.
So, I thought if I had a blog dedicated to me getting my novel finished and getting it accepted by an agent/publisher, and if I vow to keep you all updated on my book's progress at least twice a week - if not more - then it might make me pull my grubby little socks up and get on with it.
...we'll see...
Also I wanted to change the name of my blog. I wanted people who know me to be able to find my blog that teeny bit easier. It's all to do with social networking (at least that's what I'm told!).
So here's to a New Year and a Fresh Start.

This time next year I will have a publishing deal...........................

Wordcount for today~2327 :D
