A Curtain Twitcher : February 2015

Thursday, 26 February 2015. May The Flip Flop Force Be With You. When I was a small child I was sick all over my dad’s new girlfriend on a coach trip to Hastings, I tell you this because I was shocked, even at a tender age, that this did not turn the poor women off him, in fact if anything it seemed to improve his allure. Well this week a similar incident worked to cement the most unlikely of friendships. The flip flop wearer stood up to reveal flecks of yellow sick stuck to his. Beard and looked into Su...

womagwriter's blog: Are you up to date?
http://womagwriter.blogspot.com/2015/07/are-you-up-to-date.html
News and views from the world of women's magazine fiction. Monday, 13 July 2015. Are you up to date? I won't mention names, but I recently came across someone who, from her comments, was clearly using very old copies of magazines for her research. It might seem like a money saving idea to use the copies you found in the cupboard under the 1973 tax paperwork but it'll cost you in other ways. 13 July 2015 at 10:16. And few publications provide sample copies, even at a cost. I don’t mind paying fo...Yes, th...

News and views from the world of women's magazine fiction. Sunday, 5 July 2015. Guest post by Womagwriter Carmen Walton. My guest today is Carmen Walton. A question I ask at the beginning of my writing workshops is what is preventing your stories from selling to magazines? There are many answers to this but they all tend to lead to one main obstacle that prevents us from selling fiction to magazine editors. Focus. So how do we focus? Look inside the magazines. Determine the age group of the reader. S...

womagwriter's blog: Ireland's Own
http://womagwriter.blogspot.com/2015/06/irelands-own.html
News and views from the world of women's magazine fiction. Wednesday, 10 June 2015. Here are the latest guidelines for Ireland's Own. (Yes, that is me with Sean in the Ireland's Own office. I snuck in one day and he's too polite to throw people out). Material with a seasonal theme should be submitted three months in advance to accommodate publishing schedules. Memoir pieces of about 800 words are quite popular and general interest and historical articles are also used. We have no requirements for poetry.

News and views from the world of women's magazine fiction. Saturday, 29 August 2015. Actually it's more than a rumour. I have it on good authority that Take a Break's Fiction Feast want more one and two page stories. If you have anything suitable that's either 700 or 1,200 words, now might be a good time to send it in. Here's my idea of a feast. Thursday, 27 August 2015. I'm going to be sending out occasional newsletters about my writing. If you'd like to sign up for them you can do so here. 5 Do you hav...

Jo Derrick Fiction: Band Themed Short Story Project Week 6
http://joderrickfiction.blogspot.com/2015/02/band-themed-short-story-project-week-6.html
Welcome to my blog! Sunday, 15 February 2015. Band Themed Short Story Project Week 6. It's been a good week for the band themed project this week, as I've finished five out of the seven stories. They are nearly all Flash Fiction pieces this week, because I was fed up of trying to write longer stories then not finishing them. I've decided that after Week 9, when I'll have run out of nominated bands, I'll spend a week finishing off stories. At the end of March. Nominated this English contemporary folk band...

Jo Derrick Fiction: Band Themed Short Story Project Week 5
http://joderrickfiction.blogspot.com/2015/02/band-themed-short-story-project-week-5.html
Welcome to my blog! Sunday, 8 February 2015. Band Themed Short Story Project Week 5. Monday's band was The Cure. I have a few of their albums, so you'd have thought this a relatively easy one for me. However, my story didn't take off as I'd have liked it to and I stopped at 526 words, struggling for inspiration. This is one I need to go back to. Tuesday's band was Queen, nominated by two people, Natalie Timbs, a friend from home-educating days and Viv Brown. I enjoyed researching Soft Machine on Friday a...
