of course then there are those who come to workshops who only want to have written a best seller. They don’t actually want to write. They will never understand this addiction to words.

Very true, Anna. Too late for this one but gave me a chuckle. Only writers understand.
Sometimes too, those that come to workshops are only in love the the idea of writing a best seller, not actually doing the writing.

Hi Anna

As always your advice is spot on and research in the form of reading is my favourite pass times. Have realised in the last few days that have more of your books than anyone else’s. Looking forward to your next releases.

Hi Anna,

Great first blog. If only I could get to one of your workshops. As for addictions – what else could be done with the characters in my head?

Telling stories is the stuff of life. Nothing I enjoy better than a good story, both in the telling of it or being told. No, wait, there’s chocolate. No wonder the two combine wonderfully well, especially with romance novels. Welcome to blog land, Anna, your books are fabulous stories indeed.

Great blog. Never would have known it was your first if you hadn’t told me.

Anna – fantastic first blog. And yes, a writer’s life is a dangerous one indeed. Withdrawals when not creating, aches and pains if you don’t get out of your seat, having so much research information wanting to escape.
Hope you had fun blogging.

Hi Anna,

Too late for me too. Writing in any form is good. Letters, my journal, an e-mail or a story!!!

I’m new to blogging too, this is only the 3rd time I’ve posted a comment (two to-day). If Monica is right, I’m doomed!
