Uck. Sheesh indeed!

I would leave out the chilli. And the squid.

What's an emotional conflict, anyway?

Good morning all. I see this thread has taken wings!
The Thread Owner asked will - about half a page ago, whether Safkhet wouldn't be interested in his stuff because he's already self published? Is that the case? And would they be interested in his stand-alone Sci-fi?

Just nosey, me!

Ignite, I don't think they would take something that's already been released. But they will look at anything stand alone.

I do know that their schedule is now full/allocated for 2013 though, and I've had other works turned down by Safkhetbecause they didn't fit their catalogue, and the children's fantasy novels put on ice for the same reason...

But they are very open to Sci fi submissions.

Just for info Ignite, Safkhet now receive an average of 80 unsolicited submissions a week - every week. That's what the guidelines are for - to help them weed out those authors who can't be bothered to read them carefully, without having to read their work at all. The other publishers & agents will be the same, or worse. David did well actually getting the courtesy of a reply.

Thanks for pushing that for me Ignite. It's clear now. All the agents/publishers I've approached sent a reply, Will, so I'll take that as a good sign even though I remain indi. When the numbers start climbing they'll come looking for me. If I live that long (1 a day so far - but it's keeping the doctor at bay; or is that apples?).

try deciding whether this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPL3O7...

is better than the classic album version :-)

That's easy. I prefer the version on 'Pulse'.

and 'Pulse' is?

The DVD of a live gig. Earls court, I think offhand?

listening to it as I type thanks, it is good

Get the dvd.

The solo on Numb made me cry the first time i heard it.

you're talking to someone without a dvd player (cause there's no telly).

No Telly!!! what do you do when you want to get to sleep?

No wonder you end up writing fantasy about the middle ages, JIm.

Plus, you miss out on some decent things. I'm supposed to be writing a tense scene, and dancing on ice is distracting. Well, bits of it, anyway

Which bits do you think he means Jim ;) Scantilly clad bits me thinks

Moi?

after the first year or so you find you don't miss it. Indeed you find you 'know' about all the programmes anyway because people tell you about them.

But actually it gives you time to actually meet real people and talk to them ;-)

So, this dungeon. . . When do I have to go in? And how long do I have to stay in there?

You just have to annoy Gingerlily. That bit's easy!

You stay in till she lets you out! (That is, if...)

It depends how nicely he squeals!

On a scale of one to aaaaarrrrggghhhh?

Yes Will, you need to work on your squealing. Its not up to standard yet.

But I do a nice *terrified shake*. Doesn't that make up for it?

And your backing away and sidling along the wall is coming along nicely.

That's nice, thank you.

I'll just slip away and practise a bit more on my own, whilst you attend to david.

Hi Gingerlily, I understand you are in charge of the dungeon. Is it some kind of dominatrix role and am I likely to need a supply of sticking plasters?

She's very good - leaves no discernible marks...

On the outside, anyway.

come down these steps here and I'll give you the tour. I'm just oiling the whips...

Ok then, but is it extra virgin. I only use extra virgin

I don't know if you can get whip oil in extra virgin.

Damn, I've been drinking that! Thought it was good for me joints...

Better for joints than smoking them

It is good for joints: Dizzle a little on and role in herbs and crushed pepper-corns, sear in a pan then put in a hot oven . . . We are talkning beef aren't we?

Didn't expect such luxurious treatment in the dungeon.

Haha! You lot slay me - I do love you all! :)

Hi Ignite, haven't bumped into youfor a while. Naturally I meant Dizzle. I am trying miss, honest.

here, who's killed off Ignite?

her ghost is complaining someone slayed her!

Slay Will: present tense: must still be alive.

That might save me from spelling Drizzle wrong

I've been away making Lemon Dizzle Cake. As our friend would say - Phnark!

Or is it perfect, past present, progressive :S

Dizzle sounds better. Perhaps 'r' should be dropped from more words.

... fom moe wods..

Us Yorkshire folk dropped 'r' from carstle yonks ago!

And Barth. Ford motors dropped it from car.
