Glenys O'Connell, Author of Romantic Suspense and Mystery Novels

I'm blogging over at www.romanticjourney.wordpress.com/ about the manuscript that never quite gets finished. You know, I think every writer has one -it's a story you like too much to scrap, but somehow it's never just right enough to be submitted anywhere and winds up being like a ghost at the wedding - making you ever so slightly uneasy in a guilty way because you've not handled it well enough....drop over and take a look, and leave a comment!

Welcome to my first blog on Romance Can Be Murder. I write romance, suspense, and mysteries - often all rolled up into one. I'm published but still working towards the heights of the best seller list. Ah, the dream, the dream....

The aim of this blog is to share the triumphs and distresses of the writing life - and please feel free to jump in with comments! I know that there are many writers and artists out there who are blogging their thoughts and feelings about the process - and I'm glad you're here reading mine! Writing is a lonely occupation - that's one of the reasons so many of us enjoy Twitter - it's a way of reaching out and touching other people, in 140 character tweets. Leaves lots of spare time for real writing. Unless you become addicted to social media, and that's a whole new ball game. There are, of course, enterprising writers putting out books about being addicted to social media

I'll also post some writing tips that I come across and think worth sharing, plus occasional publishing news and bits and pieces from my fellow writers. Let me know if you have fabulous news or a lightbulb moment revelation!

And these blogs will be short - after all, I'm supposed to be writing, right? G'night, all!
