Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Eight

I'm posting a day later than normal because I'm in the middle of a migraine and I just couldn't make it out of bed and onto the computer yesterday. Apologies for that but hopefully it was worth waiting for.

Sad stuff this week, and one of my readers will finally get the answer to their question.

  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 8 

As always I would appreciate a review or comment. I'm also happy that people are following and favouriting the story. Thank you so much.

You'll note I'm deliberately ignoring that elephant in the Room (NaNo . . .shhhh not talking about that this week).

Enjoy the story. See you next week when hopefully all will be well, and Christmas will be under way!

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Seven

Just time to get the latest chapter posted before I dash off out. Got a very busy week, so little time for writing unfortunately.

Yep, that means NaNoWriMo is going to go down to the wire (as always).

  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 7 

Comments and reviews are always appreciated.

See you next week

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Six

Welcome to another chapter. It's been a slightly better week for NaNoWriMoing as I have now managed just over 11,000 words - okay, I know that's still not that good considering we're on day 12. Still a long way to go, and not much time to do it in as work keeps me very late at the moment and I can't seem to write at all during the week and I keep having the urge to make Christmas cards rather than write.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the latest update:
 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 6 

As always I would love a review or comment, and please feel free to favourite the story.  That always makes me smile - as does people finding and enjoying the old stories.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Five

Five days into NaNoWriMo and it's going pretty much as it always does. I've written a measly 1,222 words and keep finding things to do that have nothing to do with writing, at least not story writing. Hopefully I'll get the urge for a major writing session at the weekend otherwise it could turn into a last minute sprint, although there's still plenty of time yet so I'm confident I'll win. 

So onto the latest chapter.

 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 5 

Any reviews or comment would be greatly appreciated.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Four

So I survived the great storm and have posted the latest chapter of the story. Things are beginning to get interesting between Severus and Hermione again. . . .
 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 4 

As always a review or comment would be greatly appreciated.

And now the countdown starts to NaNoWriMo. In four days time I shall be (mainly) abandoning my HP fan fiction for a month in order to write something original - which at the current time is intended to be a crime novel, although this may change if things don't go to plan (as they quite often don't with my writing). I have managed to successfully complete it for 3 of the 5 years I've taken part, so fingers crossed that this year will also be a successful one for me. 

For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, follow the link for more information - or to sign up. Essentially it's an annual novel writing project which professional and amateur writers from all over the world become involved in. 

They describe it as "a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000 word novel by 11:59 p.m. on November 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel." For more in-depth information on how it works click here

Basically, for me it's an excuse to write without worrying that I should be doing other things as I have a deadline to meet in order to win. It's not the final book, just the first rough draft, but just managing to get 50,000 words down is an achievement, even if it never goes any further.

I will still be posting Affairs of the Heart every week as I've got a schedule set up with my beta in readiness, so barring unforeseen circumstances there shouldn't be any delay with it. 

If you're taking part in NaNoWriMo too, then the best of luck to you! I hope you win :)

I really hope you're enjoying reading it, and some of my other stories too, as they are getting a healthy amount of visitors at the moment, which is always pleasing.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Two

Welcome to the second chapter of the new story.

Affairs of the Heart

Thank you to everyone who's checked it out. I hope you're enjoying it. As always I would love a review, or a message on here, telling me what you think so far.

I have been extremely productive this week (which is good). Hopefully it will continue throughout November as it will be NaNoWriMo time again and as always I intend to take part. But don't worry, it shouldn't interfere with posting the story.
