Summer seems so far away, doesn't it? But this week, I've been working on a short story for Belinda Jones'
Sunlounger anthology, featuring thirty chick lit writers (including yours truly!). My story is set in Cairo, complete with sand, camels... and sun! Sigh. Although it is sunny in London at the moment with a high of 13 Celsius, so I can't really complain.
If you fancy getting your story in there, you can submit 1000-5000 words right up until 31st March. Click the photo to read the fine print...
Apart from camels, I've been busy doing more park walks, lunches, and brunches in Soho. And next week, I hope to start plotting my new novel. Yay!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
Wow. Whoever wins the Sunlounger competition will be in great company, looking at the list of contributors!
ReplyDeleteBrunches in Soho sounds like a title for a short story! - and I want you to know that I'm living in London vicariously through your pics, so keep them coming. Used to love the parks and wandering around on weekends when I lived there
A Cairo setting would be unique and how many people can write about camels? I'm ready for spring and some hot summer reading.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Talli - love the Egyptian setting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Talli! Watch out for camel spit.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds cool, thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteDo your camels behave, Talli? That's the question. The Barbary Macaques in mine cause havoc for the heroine in Gibraltar!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun story.
ReplyDeletePlotting your new novel sounds exciting! You go, Girl! You are in inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSun, camels and sand!!! What more does one need for exciting adventures with a little romance thrown in! Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least the sun is out today - so enjoy your walks and plotting and big hello to your adorable Lobster Baby!! Take care

Cairo might be difficult right now--did you hear about all the locusts?
ReplyDeleteOtherwise a great setting!
Oh, I miss summer. :) Looks like a really fun read, though. Maybe it can make up for the perpetual lack of sunshine over here in the Pacific NW!
ReplyDeleteSounds great Talli. Wouldn't mind lying on a sunlounger right now...x
ReplyDeleteOh it sounds interesting. I love reading a good story that takes place in a place other than where I live. I hope writing is coming along nicely. Nice plans for plotting new novel. Hope you and your family have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteA little sun would be very appreciated right now.
ReplyDeleteSet in Cairo, that sounds wonderful! Looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great story - and a setting you know well! Awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWe were at 13 below today - but it was sunny here as well, so it's all good!
Hi Talli .. so great to read and catch up with you both .. and today we have sun - enjoy those walks, visits around town and thinking about that new novel ...
ReplyDeleteCheers and the thought of a romance in Cairo sounds a lovely idea .. perhaps not now, but I can dream back a few years ... Hilary
The sun always shines where I am -- I actually wish for winter sometimes. Great to visit you again, Talli!

oh man! I want sun and warmth! We're in the middle of (another) snow storm here. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSounds real good. Well, at least it's almost Spring!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, and enjoy the sun!
ReplyDeleteLove that word - sunlounging! Wishing you well with your writing. How is that sweet little mister doing? I am sure he likes keeping mommy company while she writes. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, a little sun and sand would be SO WELCOMING right now. Winter hit us hard today. Over half a foot of SNOW.... NOOOOO! Yup, the white powdery stuff is now a slushy mess with the ongoing traffic.
ReplyDeleteSeem like life in LONDON is quite fun with the walks, lunches, and brunches....
Talli: I am amazed at your energy and work capacity. All with a fun attitude that comes through here! :)

ReplyDeleteA little sun and sand is always a good thing. Well, unless you are stranded in the Sahara that is...
ReplyDeleteCongrats Talli!
So, if you haven't yet ordered your box of Thin Mints, it's not too late, especially with mobile apps that find near-by cookie sales.
ReplyDeleteBy doing this, you are allowing yourself to get what you want as you want it.
For a couple who has dated over the past three
months, you're probably more inclined to kiss for longer, and our survey results agreed with most saying that a long kiss is completely appropriate.
