It is even more important nowadays to be a member of writing groups to try and keep up with changes in the industry as well as continuing to learn from other more experienced writers. All the very best with your Penguin novelette.Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-70855521309049375302014-02-06T03:49:18.709-08:002014-02-06T03:49:18.709-08:00Firstly, well done, Narelle, on your book contract...Firstly, well done, Narelle, on your book contracts. You're truly and inspiration to us all. Thanks, Mary, for the great interview. <br /><br />I totally agree with Narelle that being part of a writing group is of vital importance. The investment is so worth it. I joined ACFW a year ago and two months after joining wrote the novelette that is now contracted for publication with Pelican Book Group as part of their Passsport to Romance series (international settings stories). I would never have heard about the opportunity if not for the group, neither would I have gotten it to a place of being ready for submission if not for my crit partners on ACFW.<br /><br />My sister fell for a farmer some years after her first husband died. Her farmer hubby is the best thing that's ever happened to her. I'd love to win a copy of Falling for the Farmer so I can share it with her.

Yes, the task of writing for America from the Southern Hemisphere is indeed a challenge! I laughed aloud at your example of wearing thongs to the beach. I was once corrected by a group of writers for something I'd written in a devotional message that would have been almost pornographic in America! Praise the Lord for other writers! shirley@shirleycorder.com.
