Changes to web site

Twelve months have passed since the Allrighters' web site was set up. Various updates and changes are currently being made to the site including new header pictures and changes in colour schemes. A peacock has returned to the garden in the Norfolk house where the Allrighters do most of their fantasy work. Our peacock is now pictured on a new front start up page to the web site which should appear when you visit www.allrighters.co.uk or the other international feeds co.nz and com. We are getting used to the cries of the peacock in the same way the chiming of the grandfather clock repaired by Henry last year.



As previously advised Mick Rooney of TIPM has agreed to the Allrighters making a regular monthly post. Three posts have been made so far. The links for the posts are here.

These are being made under the Writing and Reading for Pleasure heading as this is beginning to reflect more of what the Allrighters' are now doing. After completion of their 1,000,000 draft words in January 2014 effort has been concentrated on editing and restructuring against a target of one 18,000 word small book a week from the end of May 2014. A Writing and Reading for Pleasure blog has been set up and this will be the one used for most of the Allrighters' new posts. If you receive posts from this and other Allrighters' blogs you will receive an e mail soon asking if you want to receive updates from this new site.




May we wish you a good summer of writing and reading



Alexander and the Allrighters and Ywnwab!

Self Publishing - Dan Holloway's view

From Mick Rooney's excellent IndependentPublishingMagazine


Write the books that you want to write, the very best that you can write them, and build a community of loyal readers without doing anything you’re not happy doing.

Most people miss opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like hard work.

awriterofhistory post

My thanks to Mary Tod for publishing a post from the Allrighters' on her history site.

Mary would love to be able to see in Canada some of the BBC programmes on the Great War 1914 to 1918. Does anyone have any ideas please?

In the end not organs ...

The millionth draft word is 'Wonderful' written today at 15.15 26th January 2014. 

Just fifteen words after completing some posts on book reviews on the Allrighters' reading blog.

Please see more detailed post on News and Diary Blog.

Writing about organs and Blossom is awaiting help from a friend who can reach the peddles and play an organ.

Organs

The musical ones.

Laying in the bath last night after listening to a repeat of Journey into Space reunion and then Charles Chilton memories including organ music - two scenes for crossing the million word threshold with Henry, Blossom and Kathrynne came into mind. In the early hours the scenes have been sketched out. So yippie, across the million threshold with grand organ music with a bang by the end of the month.
